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>

"Steve from Royal Landscapes promptly gave me a fair estimate on a drainage issue I was having at the corner of my house. His excellent crew trenched the downspout and tied in my sump pump outflow pipe to drain down the side of my property to a popup. They even cleaned up the weeded side and replaced with river rocks. The side now looks professionally landscaped. Very impressed with their work. I would highly recommend them and will use them in the future."

"I had Divine concrete do a pad for a shed last year, and they did a great job. So, I wanted a sidewalk put in next to my pool this year, along with a strip to go under my vinyl fence, and immediately called them. Big mistake. Dennis came and put in the sidewalk (which has hills and valleys) and I told him that I want the strip to go UNDER the fence, so that I could hose off the patio and the water would run out. From the pool side, it looks like the cement doesn't come up too high, but he piled the cement up on the other side, making a barrier for the entire length. He also didn't finish the job, but promised me he would be back in a few days and correct any issues. Since then, he will not answer my repeated calls or texts. Before you consider hiring them, keep in mind, that if they mess up, they won't fix it, they will just ghost you. I told them exactly what I needed done, and they failed miserably. Not reliable, not professional, not worth the price whatever they charge. Do yourself a favor, and DON’T EVEN CONSIDER HIRING THEM!"
