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>

"The landscaping of my home needed to be redone. I interviewed a number of Landscapers but after I spoke with Don of D&S Landscaping, Inc., I didn’t contact anyone else. Don told me which shrubs to keep and which to remove. He did a quick sketch of plants he would recommend that would do well in my yard. He showed me pictures of the plants and gave me a very fair written estimate of the cost. He asked for a reasonable deposit and we scheduled a date for the work to be done. He started when he said he would and finished on the same day. His crew is wonderful, polite and very hardworking. They worked from the time they arrived in the morning until early evening adding the unexpected bonus of mowing the back and front yard. Don checked to see that everything was done correctly and to see if I was satisfied. The front looks wonderful and I am more than just satisfied. I would recommend D&S to anyone looking for someone to do landscaping. You won’t be sorry it you do!"
