"Estimate was made by the son and the day they came the owner changed the project. He did take some money off the bill but not enough in my opinion. They used my hose and ripped it off the side of the house which I didnt notice until the next day . They also left some trash which I specifically asked the owner to remove. After four phone calls they have not called me back!"

"I recently had my driveway paved as well as the secondary driveway treated with gravel and compacting. The contractor was JY Paving- [*** Link removed ***] I was looking for a vendor and had a couple of suggestions from people I trusted. Only one of those entities bothered to come to my house and give me a quote. Then they told me they couldn't do it until next year. So I called a couple of others after doing an internet search and Jim Young was the only one who responded to me. He came to my house where we defined the scope and he gave me a quote. I later expanded the scope and he immediately followed up with the additional, reasonable costs. I thought his quote was more than fair, so I elected to take a chance and trust him. He showed up at my house as promised with all the equipment, paving materials, gravel and personnel required to cover my scope of work. Jim was out there operating the paver and roller and when he wasn't on one of those, he had a shovel or a rake in his hand and was trimming up the sides. Whenever I asked for a tweak here and there, he immediately tended to the issue with a smile on his face, no questions asked. At the end of the day, I had what I felt like was a beautiful primary driveway and secondary driveway. I was very happy to hand him a check reflecting the full amount of the work he and his crew had performed. When you have the owner of a company in the field operating equipment and manning shovels and rakes, you not only get a good product but you get excellent value because he's not paying a foreman to run his operation. I couldn't recommend JY Paving any more highly. He was very pleasant to deal with and offered me a great value."

Calculating gravel requirements starts with measuring your driveway's length and width in feet. For a standard driveway, aim for approximately four inches of depth. Multiply these three dimensions to find cubic feet, then divide by 27 to convert to cubic yards. For example, a 24-foot by 12-foot driveway at four inches deep requires 3.5 cubic yards of gravel. Your specific needs may vary based on soil conditions and expected traffic.
Crusher run (also called crush and run) offers the most economical option, with prices ranging from $0.40 to $2 per square foot or $20 to $25 per cubic yard. This mixture of stone dust and crushed stone compacts well, making it ideal for functional applications like driveway bases.
Local quarry gravel also tends to be affordable due to minimal transportation costs. The trade-off comes in appearance—these budget options lack the decorative appeal of pricier alternatives.
A full truckload of pea gravel costs between $250 and $500, with pricing variations based on truck capacity, material type, and your location. Standard delivery trucks carry 10 to 15 cubic yards of material.
Ordering by the truckload often provides better value for larger projects compared to multiple smaller deliveries. Many suppliers include reasonable-distance delivery in these prices, making it an economical option for substantial projects.
Well-installed gravel surfaces can maintain their functionality for many years with proper maintenance. Traffic intensity, weather conditions, and installation quality all affect longevity. Regular maintenance—including raking displaced stones back into position and addressing drainage issues—extends useful life significantly.
Many homeowners find they need to add a refresher layer every few years, particularly in high-traffic areas or regions with severe weather conditions.
Adding gravel over an existing surface is possible with proper preparation. Start by thoroughly cleaning the current surface and addressing any significant damage or drainage issues. A stable foundation prevents shifting in your new layer. Consider adding a thin base layer before applying the decorative surface gravel.
Remember that adding material increases the overall height, which may affect garage entrances or property access points. When done correctly, this approach can refresh your driveway's appearance without complete reconstruction.
Gravel offers significantly lower initial costs at approximately $1 to $3 per square foot installed for standard types, compared to the substantially higher upfront investment for asphalt or concrete. However, gravel requires more frequent maintenance and occasional material replenishment.
Paved surfaces demand less regular attention but face expensive repairs when cracks or damage occur. Your decision should consider not just initial expense but also maintenance capabilities, climate conditions, and aesthetic preferences for your property.
