Choosing the Right Driveway Gravel for Your Project

The table below shows five common projects and which gravel size works best. These are general recommendations; use the calculator for exact amounts.

Driveway Gravel in Saratoga's Climate and Soil

The ground in Saratoga freezes deep and stays frozen for a long stretch. This means the base layer under your driveway needs to be thick enough to handle frost heave.

Soils mapped in the Saratoga area are commonly moderately well drained. Depending on your specific site, you may need more base stone under the surface layer to keep the driveway stable.

The ground around Saratoga soaks water up quickly and produces little runoff. That means less drainage stone is needed under the surface, which can simplify the base design. Spring thaw is the wet part of the year for driveways, and it is when a thin base shows up as ruts.

Frequently Asked Questions About Driveway Gravel in Saratoga

Does the length of the freeze season in Saratoga change what I should order?

Yes. The freeze season in Saratoga is long and goes deep into the ground. For a driveway that lasts, order a sufficient base layer of 1 1/2" or larger gravel to handle frost heave.

Is Saratoga wet enough that drainage should drive the choice?

Not especially. The ground around Saratoga soaks water up quickly, so there is little runoff. This means less drainage stone is needed under the surface, and you can choose a standard driveway gravel for the top layer.

Which size is the most common choice for this material?

3/4" Driveway Gravel is the most common size for standard residential driveways. It locks together well and provides a stable surface that sheds water.

Do I need landscape fabric under it?

Landscape fabric is not required, but it can help prevent weeds and keep the gravel from mixing with the soil. It is a matter of preference.
