"We have about 35 movable acres that we just purchased, and without any equipment to take care of it. I came across this company because of a friend recommendation, and we were not displeased at all. Mike was very nice, professional, courteous, and kept us updated on what he was doing and how it was going. Just an overall great experience."

"I thought I'd get through the winter before reviewing. Drive is already beginning to crack. Edges are terrible. On a business call when they dug 4" to add a pull off. I watched them pull our streetlamp wire out of the ground about 3'. The light no longer works. When telling Noel, he insisted they did nothing to the light. I watched them do it! Then they spread the dirt and rock across the front yard, causing even more work for me. Noel stated multiple times they put grass seed in when spreading. Not so!. Also stood at the front window and watched him and one of the crew yelling at each, then get physical into the garage. The asphalt looked terrible when finished and I asked why it wasn't sealed. He then said it wasn't included but would return to seal, which he did. Drive looks decent but not as expected. Wish I could give a better review. With the damage to the streetlamp and yard, it probably should even be 2."

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.
