It depends on budget, drainage, and how much traffic the driveway will see. Many homeowners choose a stable, well-draining aggregate placed over a compacted base; for practical planning, top layer depths commonly range from about 3 to 6 inches over a prepared base.

Coarser, well-graded materials usually provide better drainage, stability, and lower long-term maintenance for driveways and high-traffic areas, while finer materials can work well for leveling, filling, and smoothing surfaces but may hold moisture and erode more easily.

Long-term cost-effectiveness comes from choosing durable, low-maintenance materials and installing them correctly (proper base, compaction, and edging). Investing in a stable, well-draining aggregate and routine upkeep usually costs less over time than cheaper materials that require frequent replenishing or repair.
