Gravel/Stone
A Unique Look with Plenty of Options
For those looking for a truly unique option for a home or business’ driveway, gravel and stone offers a plethora of stunning design choices that are sure to turn heads and get you noticed. Gravel and stone driveways can offer home and business a distinctive country look and feel that is unlike other driveway options. The stone is available in a seemingly endless variety of color options to choose from, including blue, tan burgundy, and white. With so much variety, you are sure to achieve the look that will suit your driveway.
Gravel and stone driveways are unique from asphalt paving in that there is no sealcoating necessary, as the area will not crack like asphalt over time. Also, in some areas with drainage problems gravel and stone can offer an excellent solution to water problems.
Installing a Gravel or Stone Driveway
A gravel driveway is a pretty straightforward and quick process. We begin by excavating out 8”of any old material at the proper dimensions. We then place a compacted 8” of ¾” crushed gravel.
Installing a stone driveway is a multi step process. First step is to excavate the proposed area down 12”. Then the first of two layers is 6-8” of 3/4” crushed gravel. Once the gravel has been placed and compacted, 4” of the preferred stone is then placed and compacted to finish grade.
Care and Upkeep of your Gravel and Stone Driveway
Although gravel and stone driveways yield a very unique look at an affordable price, they usually need to be touched up every 2-3 years. They are also very high maintenance apposed to asphalt. These types of driveways typically require annual herbicide applications, as well as regular weed pulling and raking of the misplaced gravel that can be moved by car tires and snow removal.
A gravel and stone driveway does offer homes and businesses a unique curb appeal, and can really add to the look of the surrounding landscape. This high maintenance option, combined with the unique look that it offers can often convince homeowners and businesses looking for something different to go this route.
