FAQ

How deep for a driveway?

6–8 inches of compacted gravel for light vehicle use; paths need only 2–4 inches.

What is a cubic yard of gravel?

27 ft³ — roughly a full pickup load or about 1.4 tons depending on stone type.

Does depth include compaction?

No — order a little extra, as gravel settles about 10–15% after compaction.
