For clay-heavy soils in Newington, a layered approach works best: a geotextile fabric, a compactable base of 3/4" crushed stone (4" to 6"), then a 1" to 1 1/2" surface layer like 57 stone or crushed stone fines. The base provides stability and drainage while the surface resists tracking and compacts under traffic. Proper grading and drainage are critical because clay holds water and can cause rutting if the base is inadequate.

Calculate tons from area and depth using: tons = area (sq ft) x depth (inches) / 240. A 1/4 acre is 10,890 sq ft, so at 4" depth you would need about 182 tons (10,890 x 4 / 240), and at 6" depth about 273 tons. These are estimates; final quantity depends on compacting, local gravel density, and whether you build a separate base layer.

Crushed stone compacts and locks together for a firmer, more stable surface that works well for patios and paths that get furniture or wheelbarrows. Pea gravel is attractive and comfortable to walk on but shifts and migrates more, so it needs edging and a solid base to stay in place. For Newington's heavy rains, crushed stone with good edging and drainage generally performs better long term.

Yes, gravel itself resists heat and humidity, but Newington's heavy rains and clay soils can lead to washouts, rutting, and mud if drainage and compaction are poor. Good grading, a compacted base, and channels or swales to move water away will help gravel last through wet seasons. Consider edging and periodic top-ups after major storms to maintain surface integrity.

Costs vary with site conditions, but basic ground prep (clearing, grading, geotextile, compacted base) typically adds labor and equipment charges that can range from about $1 to $4 per sq ft for modest residential jobs. More difficult sites with clay, poor slope, or heavy equipment needs will cost more. Get a local estimate from Hello Gravel or a contractor to see a tailored price for your property.

Yes, Georgia river rock is commonly used for drainage swales, dry creek beds, and decorative overflow areas because larger rounded stones resist washing and look natural. For subsurface drains or French drains, combine river rock with proper filter fabric and perforated pipe to prevent clogging. Make sure stone size and slope are selected to handle expected flow during Newington's heavy rains.

With good site prep, proper drainage, and routine maintenance like regrading and topping up, a gravel driveway in Newington can last 10 to 20 years before a full rebuild is needed. Expect to add fresh material every 3 to 7 years depending on traffic and weather, and to do minor grading after heavy storms. Areas with poor drainage or heavy truck traffic may need more frequent repair.

For a standard residential driveway in Newington, plan on a compacted surface layer of 3/4" to 1 1/2" crushed stone at 3" to 4" over a compacted base of 4" to 6" of larger crushed stone for a total compacted depth of about 6" to 8". On clay soils or where heavier vehicles are used, increase total depth to 8" to 12". Good compaction, edge restraints, and drainage are as important as depth to prevent rutting.

As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.
