Driveway Guides

The best driveway material depends on your budget, expected traffic, appearance preferences, and maintenance requirements. Popular options include 57 limestone, crushed asphalt millings, and recycled 57 concrete. Each offers different advantages for residential and commercial projects, so the right choice depends on how you plan to use your driveway and the surface you want to achieve.

Most residential gravel driveways use a compacted base with a finished aggregate layer that provides durability and proper drainage. The ideal depth depends on your soil conditions, expected vehicle traffic, and the type of material being used. Our driveway guides explain recommended installation practices and how to choose the right materials for long-lasting performance.

The amount of gravel required depends on your driveway's length, width, and desired depth. Before ordering, use our Cubic Yard Calculator to estimate your project volume, then choose the appropriate driveway material calculator if available. Estimating your material requirements beforehand helps reduce waste and avoid ordering too little or too much.

57 limestone is a crushed stone that provides excellent drainage and a stable base for driveways and parking areas. Crushed asphalt millings are made from recycled asphalt pavement and compact into a firm surface that resembles traditional asphalt. Both are popular driveway materials, but they differ in appearance, compaction characteristics, maintenance requirements, and cost.

Yes. Recycled 57 concrete is commonly used for residential driveways, access roads, parking areas, and general site improvements. It provides a durable, cost-effective alternative to traditional limestone while helping reduce construction waste through the reuse of recycled concrete materials. Many homeowners and contractors choose it for its combination of performance and value.
