You usually do not need sand under gravel unless you are installing pavers or creating a specific bedding layer. For driveways and paths in Haymarket, a compacted crushed-stone base topped with gravel is the typical approach; sand is mainly used under pavers for leveling.

Gravel can migrate, create dust, collect weeds, and be tricky to plow in winter — expect periodic maintenance like raking and topping up. Regional factors around Haymarket, like clay subsoils and frost heave, can increase shifting, so proper base preparation and edging help reduce problems.
