Best Type of Gravel for Driveways and Walkways

Different types of gravel can offer varied benefits and downsides for driveways and walkways. So, you want to make sure you choose a quality base layer. You never want driveway or walkway material to become displaced over time, collecting water and creating uneven spots or ruts. Whatever material you choose should be durable, impervious to traffic and low maintenance. It should also provide a nice appearance, of course, as well as adequate drainage for your particular environment and climate.

Some popular, cost-effective gravel choices for driveways and walkways include crushed #57 stone or limestone – which is available at Edgewater Yard Shop. The angular shape of this crushed stone and the fine particles which fill in the gaps in between allow for a sturdy, well-compacted surface which will bear heavy traffic nicely. Pea gravel, a smooth, pretty stone option, is also an excellent choice.
