Frequently Asked Questions
A cubic yard of standard gravel or crushed stone typically weighs between 2,700 and 2,900 lbs (roughly 1.4 tons).
For a new driveway, a total depth of 8-12 inches (in layers) is recommended. For top-dressing an existing one, 2-3 inches is usually sufficient.
Gravel is naturally formed and has rounded edges, while crushed stone is man-made with angular edges that lock together better for driveways.
