Gravel Driveway: Crushed Rock vs. Drain Rock

Crushed rock (5/8" minus) is the most popular choice for driveways. The angular edges lock together under traffic, creating a stable surface.

Drain rock (1.5" round) is better for drainage applications — French drains and dry creek beds. Not ideal for driveways.

For most Pierce County driveways, we recommend 4–6 inches of compacted crushed rock base.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to be home for delivery? Not necessarily. As long as we have clear access and you've marked the drop zone, we can deliver while you're away.

Can you spread the material? Yes — spreading service is available for an additional fee.

How do I prepare for delivery? Ensure a clear path for the dump truck (at least 10 ft wide, 14 ft tall clearance).
