Your project type determines which driveway gravel size to use. The table below matches common jobs to the best product. Make sure you also account for ground conditions.

How Kenai's Climate Affects Your Driveway Gravel

Kenai experiences about 200 days a year with temperatures below 32F. That freeze-thaw cycle can shift an unstable base. A well-compacted driveway gravel with good drainage resists that movement. When the ground thaws, it softens, and heavy traffic can cause ruts.

Annual snowfall in Kenai averages about 84 inches. Plowing a fresh gravel driveway can push material aside if the surface is loose. A locked surface, like 3/4-inch gravel, holds up better against the blade. A smooth top dressing like 3/8-inch gravel might get displaced more easily.

Kenai sees about 83 days a year with at least a tenth of an inch of rain, and total precipitation is roughly 19 inches annually. Scheduling your delivery onto firm ground helps the gravel compact properly. The material also needs to drain well to avoid washout. Order once the site is ready, because material sitting in the wrong spot gets moved twice.

Estimating How Much Driveway Gravel You Need
