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.
