"I had a deck i tore down and wanted to make an extra parking space, and then we talked about the drainage problems I had. He used Black t op fillings and packed it in, all around the house and sloped it so water would go away from house. I was very pleased with this. 2 days after completion he called me to see how it was after it rained, and it was a 90% improvement from what I had before."

"Wanted to give First Choice Grading & Septic Services praise for their prompt response when I needed a septic tank replaced within 7 days. The owner, Bobby came out on 6/18/25 to give me a quote and was able to coordinate with the delivery of a new septic tank and inspection for the following day. Bobby and his crew arrived the next morning at 8:30AM and pumped, crushed, removed the old tank and leveled the ground for new tank before noon. He had coordinate delivery of the new tank at 12:30 and had tank installed and code inspection by 3:15 PM. Code Inspector also praised Bobby for the quality of the install and going above code on plumbing. Bobby checked both D-boxes with his camera system also. I am grateful for Bobby's expertise on the install knowing I will have decades of reliability. After the install, Bobby was meticulous on grading the property where the tank was installed. I highly recommend First Choice Grading and Septic Services for all you septic needs. "

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.
