Two inches is only a thin top layer and is not sufficient for a new driveway with vehicle traffic. For a durable driveway you should plan on 4u0022 minimum over a compacted base and 6u0022 or more for heavy trucks; 2u0022 works only as a light resurfacing over an existing, well-prepared base.

Gravel alone will not harden like concrete, but there are stabilizing options such as resin-bound gravels, polymer additives, or compacted crushed stone with fines (crusher run) that form a very firm surface. If you need a concrete-like solid surface in Mount Pleasant, ask about stabilized products or consider a compacted crushed-stone base with a topping of decorative gravel.

Buying in bulk delivered by a dump truck is usually the most economical option; Hello Gravel has a minimum order of 3 tons and connects you to local suppliers to reduce haul distance.
