Size a new driveway or a fresh top layer. A resurfacing is often around 2 to 3 inches, while new driveways are built in deeper layers.
How it works
Length × width × depth plus 15% for compaction. Results show yards, tons and truck trips.
Before you order
- Build new drives in layers, with larger stone at the bottom and finer stone on top.
- Crown the center slightly so water runs off instead of forming potholes.
- Compare delivery by tandem or triaxle truck for large drives.
