What is Driveway Gravel?
Driveway gravel is a composite or aggregate material made of crushed stone and stone dust fines. Some driveway gravel also makes use of sand. Still, most gravel is comprised of larger pieces that provide traction, stability, and flooding protection during rainy weather (provided the gravel is sloped toward the sides of a driveway to ensure adequate drainage).
Driveway gravel is a popular driveway material for new homes and businesses. Tires can catch on the gravel very easily, preventing them from slipping as easily as they might on another driveway material, like certain types of asphalt or concrete.
When implemented properly, driveway gravel settles and becomes more compact. The resulting semisolid surface is smooth and dependable for years to come.
When you need driveway gravel created or delivered for a new construction or landscaping project, you can rely on Seward Sand & Gravel experts to get the job done.
Best Types of Oneonta Driveway Gravel Materials
Depending on your budget, aesthetic desires, and other factors, there are many types of driveway gravel materials you might decide to use. Here are some examples:
● River rock. This is a diverse aggregate group of rocks that are typically worn down and rounded thanks to moving water and constant erosion. River rocks can be pleasing to the eye because they come in many different textures, colors, and sizes. They're usually very smooth, so they have natural looks. River rock is best for driveways that don't have steep slopes or inclines, as the smooth stones can shift more often under vehicle tires.
● Dense-grade rock, sometimes called quarry stone. Dense-grade aggregate rock is a popular Road stone run through rock crushers. It's comprised of small, crushed stones and stone dust; each piece is usually 3/4 of an inch or less in size. Dense-grade driveway gravel binds together and makes a strong and solid surface when it is compacted. It's a good practical driveway gravel material, but it isn't as aesthetically pleasing.
● Pea gravel, which is usually 3/8 of an inch in size. Pea gravel is soft because it features rounded and smooth sides. Each gravel stone is naturally weathered, and many stones come in various colors, like red, blue, brown, and gray. Pea gravel doesn't have the same instability for vehicles that river rock has, though they don't interlock as reliably or consistently as dense-grade driveway gravel.
As you research the type of driveway gravel you need for your Oneonta project, ensure the delivery service you choose has the gravel you want to use. As an example, Seward Sand & Gravel offers a variety of different driveway gravel products, including:
● Dense grade rock - 3/4-inch crusher-run rocks are perfect for practical, durable driveways.
● Round rocks - perfect for more aesthetic driveways.
● Crushed or round-washed stone.
● A variety of washed sands.
● And more.
