Crushed Limestone for Gravel Driveways: Types, Uses, and Benefits
Crushed limestone is the foundation of a durable gravel driveway. Through quarry blasting and crushing, limestone is processed into angular stone that locks together, compacts tightly, and resists movement under traffic and weather. Unlike rounded materials such as river rock, crushed limestone creates a stable surface that reduces rutting, washouts, and ongoing maintenance.
Different limestone sizes serve different functions. #57 limestone is commonly used for finished driveway surfaces because it provides a clean appearance while maintaining strong interlock. Materials like #304 and #411 contain fines that compact denser, making them ideal for hills, heavy traffic, and areas requiring added strength. Smaller stone such as #9 is best suited for walkways and light applications. Selecting the right limestone is critical to long-term driveway performance and durability.

Why Gravel Driveways Fail Without Proper Repair
Gravel driveways often fail because they lack a stable base, proper grading, or adequate drainage. Water is the number-one enemy of gravel surfaces. Without correcting these underlying issues, simply adding new stone will not solve the problem. Our gravel driveway repair service focuses on fixing the root cause, extending the life of your driveway and reducing long-term maintenance costs.
