Question of the Week: Driveways

Q: What is a good size of gravel to use for a driveway?

A: Although most gravel sizes will work, we have found that small gravel (3/8") tends to shift a lot and needs more raking than medium size gravel.

Large gravel (above 1.5") can lead to a less smooth drive. We have found that 3/4" or 7/8" tend to be good options and help reduce the need for raking. But remember, gravel driveways do require touch ups every so often.
