Driveway Gravel That Holds Up
For reliable driveways in windy, sandy conditions, we recommend a base of ¾" crushed rock or class 2 road base compacted in lifts, with an optional DG top layer for a smoother finish.
- Base: 4–6" of ¾" road base, compacted.
- Finish (optional): 1–2" of DG for a clean surface.
- Coverage tip: ~108 sq ft per cubic yard at 3" deep (post-compaction).
