Material choice depends on use, appearance, and drainage needs rather than a single best option; common projects in Townsite use materials like gravel, sand, dirt, stone in different mixes. For driveways you typically want a stable, well-compacted base and a surface that sheds water; for patios look for a material that compacts well and matches your desired look. Our material selector and sales team can help match options to your site's slope, soil, and traffic.

Hot dry summers can cause loose surfaces to dust and shift, while heavy winter rains increase erosion and washout risk if drainage is poor. Choose materials and gradations that compact well and plan for proper drainage to reduce movement and runoff. Regional suppliers provide locally sourced gravel, sand, dirt, stone that reflect local performance in Townsite's climate.

Measure the length, width, and desired depth of the area in feet, then multiply to get cubic feet and divide by 27 to convert to cubic yards; convert to tons using an online calculator or our material calculator. Hello Gravel's website includes a calculator and aggregate quiz to guide your estimate, and our team can review your numbers if you provide dimensions and proposed depth. Always order a small overage (5-10%) to account for compaction and grading.

Installed costs depend on material, site prep, labor, and local rates; as a guideline, surface materials and delivery are just one part of the total cost which also includes base preparation and compaction. For planning purposes, budget for materials and delivery separately from contractor labor, and request quotes that list material, delivery, and installation line items. Contact local contractors for precise installed cost estimates tailored to your property.

Maintenance and lifespan vary by material, use, and site conditions; harder, well-compacted surfaces generally need less frequent upkeep, while loose surfaces may require occasional replenishing and grading. Regular maintenance tasks include raking, topping up material, and checking drainage after storms to prevent erosion. Consider expected traffic, whether snow removal will be needed, and how often you want to maintain the surface when choosing materials.

Our team can suggest material options and delivery quantities that suit drainage plans for your site.
