There are many ways to maintain your gravel driveway, and regular maintenance requires you to use a heavy-duty rake to clear off debris and level out the road. You should also fix any potholes, ruts, or bulges as soon as possible. This is also important to avoid pooling water which can erode the driveway. Gravel costs $2 to $8 per bag.
You can re-grade or resurface well-worn roads for $0.50 to $2.20 per square foot. If you decide to install a new layer of gravel, consider adding a layer of landscaping fabric underneath, which costs $20 to $70 per 100-foot roll.
Additionally, if you are in an area that gets a lot of snow, consider skipping the snowplow or hiring a pro. You should leave an inch of snow on the ground and let it compact before attempting any snow removal.
