What size gravel works best for a driveway?

Question

What is the best type of gravel for a driveway. Is it the larger sized so it does not get stuck in tires, if so what is that called.

Answer 1

Driveway gravel is usually sized by the stone that is mixed with the sand. Example: 3/8", 3/4" etc. A good driveway packing gravel is 3/4". Another good choice is 3/8" stone dust. This material packs down very hard and smooth.

So when you call to order your material, ask for 3/4" packing gravel or 3/8" stone dust.
