What gravel is best for a driveway?

For a firm, well-draining driveway we recommend a crushed limestone like 21AA or 22A/23A (1" minus). The mix of stone and fines locks together and compacts into a hard surface. For a decorative top layer, a clean 1" limestone (6AA) adds a finished look.

How deep should driveway gravel be?

Plan for about 4 inches of compacted base for cars, or 6 inches for heavy trucks. On soft ground, add a base lift of larger stone (such as a 0"–3" mega-base) before the 21AA top. Use the gravel calculator to estimate tons.
