What is the average cost of a gravel driveway?

<div><p>The average <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-gravel-driveway-cost.htm">cost of a gravel driveway</a> is about <b>$1.25 to $2 per square foot</b>, including the cost of materials, equipment, and professional installation. For example, a 16-by-30-foot driveway costs about $1,500. Cost factors include the type of gravel, how thick the gravel is installed, the condition of the landscape, and labor costs. Overall costs will vary depending on where you live and how accessible the job site is.</p></div>

What kind of maintenance does a gravel driveway require?

<div><p>Because gravel moves, it requires different maintenance than asphalt or concrete. Here are a few maintenance tips for your gravel driveway. Every few years (or as often as needed):</p><ul><li><p>Grade and level your driveway</p></li><li><p>Rake to fill holes and ruts</p></li><li><p>Compact any refilled potholes</p></li><li><p>Remove weeds with herbicide or by hand</p></li><li><p>Spray it with water to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/5-ways-reduce-dust-your-new-gravel-driveway.htm">reduce the amount of dust</a> kicked up</p></li><li><p>Avoid using a snowplow during winter months</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

How long should a gravel driveway last?

<div><p>A gravel driveway should last for <b>up to 100 years</b> with proper upkeep, which is minimal. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-make-your-gravel-driveway-look-rock-star.htm">Maintaining a gravel driveway</a> includes grading and adding fresh gravel to fill in potholes. Otherwise, a gravel driveway holds up well to all kinds of weather. Plowing in the winter can be challenging and the gravel can develop ruts or potholes that need to be repaired, but the cost and longevity of gravel compared to concrete, asphalt, and pavers makes gravel an economical option, especially for long and/or wide driveways.</p></div>

How deep should my gravel driveway be?

<div><p>A gravel driveway should be <b>at least 4 to 6 inches deep</b>, depending on the soil it’s installed on. Softer soil that doesn’t drain well should have a deeper gravel driveway. Deeper gravel will mean you spend more on materials and labor, but you’ll get a more stable driveway and avoid damage that needs to be filled or graded flat again.</p></div>

"I spent a lot of time trying to find someone that could replace my front steps. Getting someone to actually call back was the first challenge. Then, trying to find someone who does everything we wanted: granite steps, faux stone facing and sides, white railings, and the ability to tear up and lower my walkway then redo it to make the first step 7” was an even bigger challenge. We finally found the right guy/company and we are very happy with the results. Walter Santos of W. Santos Construction did it all for us. He started within days of us accepting his proposal. He was kind, communicated the next steps with us well, and the quality was fantastic. I was outside tonight taking photos and a family was taking a walk stopped me to ask who did the steps because “they make the house.” I took some dry and wet pics after the dust was washed off and I’m very happy with the results. He even came out to finish on Memorial Day."
