Two inches is usually too thin for a driveway in Clifton, VA, especially with wet seasons and freeze-thaw cycles. We recommend a compacted base of 4 to 6 inches of crushed stone or crusher run for good support, plus a 1 to 2 inch wearing course of 3/4u0022 crushed stone if you want a smoother finish. On clay or poorly drained soils consider adding geotextile fabric and increasing base thickness for better drainage and durability.

For driveways or heavy traffic areas use the higher depths and plan for compaction and base preparation.

For large-volume jobs the most economical options are typically crusher run (also called crusher fines or bank run) or recycled crushed stone, which combine small stones and fines and are cheaper per ton than decorative gravels. They compact well as a base but may not be the aesthetic top layer; many homeowners use crusher run as a base and a thin layer of 3/4u0022 crushed stone or pea gravel on top for appearance. Ask about local availability since supply and pricing vary by region.
