For a 100-ft long by 10-ft wide driveway using a 6" compacted base plus a 2" topcoat, expect roughly 25 cubic yards of material; total installed costs commonly run between $1,500 and $4,000 depending on material grade, delivery, and local labor for grading and compaction. Get a site-specific quote—factors like driveway width, existing subgrade condition, and drainage needs can push costs higher.

For a 20-ft long driveway at a typical 8-ft width and 4" depth you need about 2 cubic yards of gravel (20 x 8 x 0.333 ft = ~53 cubic feet, ~1.97 cu yd). Always round up and add 10-15% extra to allow for compaction and waste when ordering.

The least expensive options in West Washington are usually pit run or bank-run materials and coarse road base made from locally sourced rock; these are fine for a compacted base layer but are not ideal as a finished surface. For a durable driveway in rainy Lake Stevens conditions, use cheaper material as the base and top with crushed rock that locks together for better traction and drainage.

Gravel is naturally rounded rock from riverbeds; crushed stone is mechanically crushed and angular. Crushed stone is usually best for long-lasting driveways in Lake Stevens because the angular pieces lock together and compact more stably in wet conditions.

A common recommendation is 6" to 8" of compacted crushed rock or road base as the structural layer, topped with 1" to 2" of small crushed rock or fines as a wearing surface. In Lake Stevens' rainy climate add geotextile fabric if the subgrade is soft and plan for good edge drainage to prevent washouts.

Permits are usually not required for private gravel driveways, but Lake Stevens and Snohomish County rules can require permits for driveway aprons, curb cuts, or significant grading work. Check with the City of Lake Stevens Public Works and your HOA before starting work to confirm setback, stormwater, and sightline rules.

Expect periodic maintenance like regrading, adding 1" to 3" of new gravel every few years, and fixing potholes after heavy rains; small maintenance jobs often cost a few hundred dollars, while a full refresh every 3-7 years can run higher. Other downsides include weed growth, washboarding, and some dust; good drainage and proper base layers reduce those issues.
