For a single-lane 100 ft driveway at 12 ft wide and 3 inches deep, you need about 11 cubic yards or roughly 15-16 tons of gravel. At $50 to $100 per ton that works out to approximately $750 to $1,600 for the material, plus delivery. Increase depth to 4-6 inches for heavier traffic and multiply tonnage and cost accordingly.

A 20x20 area (400 sq ft) at 3 inches deep requires about 3.7 cubic yards or roughly 5-6 tons of gravel; material alone often costs $200 to $700 depending on type. Installation (grading, compacting, spreading) typically adds several hundred dollars depending on access and labor—expect total supply-and-install in the ballpark of $500 to $1,500. For precise pricing get a quote through Hello Gravel and ask local contractors for installation estimates.

Two inches is generally too thin for a durable driveway—it may work as a surface refresh over a stable base but will not stand up to regular vehicle traffic. For a long-lasting driveway, plan on 3-6 inches of compacted gravel on a prepared subgrade, with thicker sections for driveways that see heavier trucks. Consider local soil and drainage in Lewiston when choosing depth; we can help estimate quantities.

For driveways in Lewiston, a crushed angular material like 3/4u0022 crushed stone or a 3/4u0022 minus mix (stone with fines) works best because it compacts and locks together. Larger 1-1.5u0022 rock can be used as a base layer for drainage, then topped with smaller crushed stone or fines for a smooth driving surface. Avoid loose rounded pea gravel on main driveways unless you plan frequent maintenance.

For most homeowners needing 3 or more tons, bulk delivery is usually the most cost-effective since it eliminates extra handling and multiple trips. Pickup at a local yard can be cheaper for very small amounts but requires a suitable vehicle and time. Hiring a contractor adds labor and equipment costs, so compare supply-only pricing from Hello Gravel with contractor quotes for full service.

Crushed stone (angular, mechanically crushed) is generally better for driveways because it compacts and binds, giving a more stable surface than naturally rounded gravel. Cost is often similar, though specific materials and availability near Lewiston can sway price. For durability and lower maintenance, many homeowners choose crushed stone for the base and finer crushed material for the top layer.

Stabilized and resin- or polymer-bound gravels are available from some regional suppliers, though availability around Lewiston can be limited and prices are higher than loose gravel. They reduce dust, migration, and maintenance, which can be worth the extra cost for high-use areas or slopes. Ask Hello Gravel to check local suppliers and get comparative quotes if you want a long-term, low-maintenance surface.

'Type 3' (sometimes called Class 3 or road base) is a mix of crushed stone and fines designed to compact well as a base layer. It is suitable as a stable base for Lewiston driveways when compacted and followed by a wearing course of finer crushed stone. Because naming can vary by region, confirm the exact spec with the supplier before ordering.
