"Ricardo and his team were very professional. We had our driveway widened with concrete pavers. They were extremely careful about the removal of dirt and grass in the area since we have a sprinkler system and underground landscape wiring. They also installed a drainage pipe under the pavers and the entire job looks fantastic. The team worked quickly and efficiently and cleaned the area thoroughly upon completing the project. Our experience with Outdoor Experts was great and we highly recommend them. "

My affinity for stonework began at an early age. Growing up in New England I often witnessed many examples of quality stonework. I began working with stone in my early 20s with a landscape contractor in central Massachusetts. Without having the luxury of an apprenticeship, I learned the trade through many books and established my own style. I began working for other stone masons when I moved to the Asheville area. The many different projects I worked on included large scale renovations of hiking trails to small scale renovations of flower beds. These projects gave me a wide base of knowledge that have broadened my understanding of stonework. With this experience I started my own business Stonesmith. We specialize in traditional stone laying methods including retaining walls, walkways, staircases, fireplaces, chimneys and more. I knew early on I wanted the quality of my work to match the eternal nature of stone. In New England, if stonework was done improperly, you would find out as soon as winter had thawed. It is with that mentality that I build a solid investment with stone. Received the highest score ever given for the initial certification by the DSWA by instructor Sean Adcock Member of the Stone Foundation http://www.stonefoundation.org/
"We recently had some work done by Matt Smith and his crew. We would be happy to recommend him for any stonework you could want. Mat’s crew of five or six men are a wonder. They are hard-working, obviously very strong, and take great pride in the quality of their work. They will take time to answer any questions you might have, and they are thoughtful, polite, neat and tidy, and know their jobs. The stone patio they made for us is beyond anything we could have hoped for. At the end of the job they did a thorough cleanup and left our place neat and tidy. I might mention that Matt studied with Tomas Lipps, the founder and editor of Stonemasonry Magazine and one of America’s finest stone masons. It’s no wonder that Matt is in demand. My final bit of praise is in regard to the cost: it was quite reasonable— I’m happy to say. I wish we had another job for Stonesmith to take on."

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.
