Suppliers in West Utah commonly carry crushed stone (3/4u0022 minus and 3/8u0022), decomposed granite (DG), river rock (rounded stones), pea gravel, and road/base materials like class 2. Regional geology means you may see local basalt, limestone, or quartzite variants, so color and texture can vary. Choose crushed stone or DG for driveways and pea gravel or river rock for decorative beds.

For planning, use these approximate amounts per 100 square feet: 2u0022 depth = ~0.9 tons, 3u0022 = ~1.3 tons, 4u0022 = ~1.7 tons, and 6u0022 = ~2.6 tons. Driveways often need 4u0022 to 6u0022 compacted depth for durability, so scale those figures to your driveway area and remember Hello Gravel’s minimum order is 3 tons.

In North Salt Lake’s freeze-thaw conditions, angular crushed stone with good drainage performs best because it locks together and sheds water, reducing frost heave. Use a well-compacted base (3/4u0022 minus or road base) topped with 3/8u0022 to 3/4u0022 crushed stone or stabilized decomposed granite; avoid loose rounded river rock on driveways because it shifts more in freezing soils. Adding proper subgrade preparation and drainage prevents most freeze-thaw damage.

Permits are commonly required if your project changes driveway access to a public street, alters curbs, or affects stormwater runoff; simple resurfacing within an existing driveway footprint often does not need a permit. Rules vary by city and parcel, so contact North Salt Lake Public Works or Salt Lake County Planning to confirm requirements before you start. If in doubt, ask your contractor or the city so you avoid rework or fines.

For slopes, install a geotextile fabric beneath the gravel to separate soil and improve stability, and use terracing, edging, or small retaining walls to slow runoff and hold material. Choose angular, well-graded gravel and consider placing larger stones or riprap at the toe of the slope to prevent scour during heavy rains or snowmelt. Also direct runoff into properly sized drains or vegetated swales to protect down-slope areas and comply with local stormwater rules.

Decorative gravels like pea gravel or river rock need more frequent topping, edging, and weed control—expect to add material every 1–3 years depending on traffic and erosion. Functional driveway mixes with a compacted base require periodic grading and occasional fresh material; many homeowners spend the equivalent of one small delivery (3–4 tons) every 2–5 years for upkeep, with rough costs of $100–$400 depending on material and delivery. Regular maintenance such as raking, occasional regrading, and keeping drainage clear will extend the life of either type.
