For most Hyannis Park driveways we recommend crushed stone (about 3/4u0022 to 1u0022) or crusher run as a base mix because they compact well and shed water. Pea gravel looks nice but tends to shift and track in coastal New England weather, so it is better for accent areas or walkways, not primary driveways unless contained and on a stable base.

Gravel performs well if installed with proper grading, a compacted base, and good drainage; otherwise freeze-thaw and heavy rain can cause rutting and washouts. Use well-graded crushed stone, install a slight crown for runoff, consider a geotextile fabric over soft soils, and provide edge restraints to reduce movement.

Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons; common residential orders range from 3 to 10 tons, while contractors often order larger truckloads. Deliveries are made by dump truck (typically tri-axle), standard delivery is 2+ business days, and next-day delivery may be available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee; tailgate spreading can be requested but is at the driver's discretion.

Use 1.4 tons per cubic yard as a rule of thumb. A 2-car driveway at 10x20 ft and 4u0022 deep needs about 3.5 tons, while a more typical 20x20 ft two-car driveway at 4u0022 needs roughly 7 tons. Always round up to account for compaction and grading, and contact our team for a site-specific estimate.

Expect light maintenance annually (raking and regrading low spots) and more extensive maintenance every 2-4 years (adding fines or fresh gravel). Small driveway maintenance jobs often range from about $100 to $500 for labor and material, depending on size and how much material you add; contractor costs vary in the Hyannis Park area.

Gravel has the lowest upfront cost but higher ongoing maintenance; asphalt is midrange in cost and offers good lifespan and curb appeal; pavers are the most expensive initially but give strong curb appeal and low maintenance. For resale and curb appeal in Hyannis Park, asphalt or good-quality pavers often provide higher ROI, while gravel is a cost-effective option for budget-conscious homeowners.

Use angular, interlocking crushed stone (larger sizes near 1-2u0022) or riprap for steep slopes, and include a geotextile fabric to stabilize the subgrade. Combine terraces, edge restraints, retaining features, and proper drainage channels or French drains to control runoff and prevent washouts.

Rules vary by neighborhood and HOA; many HOAs and some Town of Barnstable regulations restrict loose gravel in front yards or require specific edge treatments. Before installation, check with your HOA and contact the Hyannis/Barnstable building or zoning office to confirm any permits, curb-cut requirements, or stormwater rules.
