Q: 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>

Q: 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>

Q: 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&rsquo;s installed on. Softer soil that doesn&rsquo;t drain well should have a deeper gravel driveway. Deeper gravel will mean you spend more on materials and labor, but you&rsquo;ll get a more stable driveway and avoid damage that needs to be filled or graded flat again.</p></div>

I asked Matt to convert a 14 by 14 chain-link enclosed dog run into a covered tri-plex bird rehab facility. Simple in concept, VERY complicated in execution. Matt was wonderful in understanding what I wanted, figured out - in advance - all the details, and pulled it off! This was all last...

Somebody had given me their name and said they knew the owner of the company and they are really good. They are very caring and honest. The front yard is 12 x 12 locations and the left side was mulch and river rock and it was maybe 15 feet wide and 70 feet long. The backyard is maybe 40 feet...

Tim is a great guy. Very honest and professional. My first encounter with Tim was when he came out to talk about some work around the yard. Who knew he would spend over an hour, of his personal time, at my house helping me to try and find a shut off valve. Prior to Tim submitting a bid, he...

Excellent! Dave was very careful to preserve native plants and mosses down the middle of the drive by covering them with plastic while spreading material with mini track-hoe. Finished job looks great, was done promptly.
