Driveways
A gravel or stone driveway requires maintenance. Every few years they need refreshing. The most common products for restoring a clean driving surface is crushed gravel #1 and minus 1 inch crusher run. Crushed gravel #1s are clean, washed, (1/4” to 1/2”), and are good for topping an existing driveway that has gotten a little muddy. Minus 1 inch Crusher Run is a mix of various sizes of stone or gravel and crusher fines that help the mixture compact tightly when rolled or driven on. Really muddy situations may require larger sizes like Crushed #2 Gravel, (1/2” to 1”) or a mix of crushed gravel #1 and #2.
