How much gravel do I need for my project?

Measure the length and width of the area in feet. Multiply those numbers by the depth you want in feet. Divide by 27 to get cubic yards. A driveway base runs 4 to 6 inches deep. A path needs 2 to 3 inches. Order by the ton or yard online.

What is the difference between crushed stone and Natural Pea Gravel?

Crushed stone is angular and locks together when compacted, so it suits bases and drainage. Natural Pea Gravel is round and stays loose, so it works for play areas and xeriscape mulch. Use crushed stone under a driveway. Use Natural Pea Gravel where you want a softer surface.

Ground Conditions Across Mineral County

Expansive bentonite clay is common along the Front Range. It moves with moisture, so base depth and drainage matter more than in stable soils.

Spring snowmelt and short, intense summer thunderstorms put water on the ground fast. Runoff on slopes and in drainage swales needs rip rap and cobble to armor the bank and slow the water.

Base and drainage work runs best from late spring through fall. Frozen ground and snowpack limit compaction in winter at altitude.

Repeated freeze-thaw cycling, often several cycles in a single week at altitude, tests any base. Frost depth runs about 30 to 36 inches in much of the state. A proper base depth and a drainage layer handle that movement.
