If you live in a snow-covered area or have a sloping driveway, you will need to add gravel every two to four years. The gravel area will be unlimited and will require minimal maintenance, including removing snow and ice from your driveway every few years. You will probably need Gray Lava Stone if you are to maintain your gravel driveway.

Its unique porous structure provides excellent drainage while preventing water buildup and reducing erosion. Occasionally maintaining the access road by raking the surface and adding new stones prevents the access road from going down at all. The lightweight yet tough nature of gray lava stone makes it an excellent choice for gravel driveways, helping to preserve structure and resist movement over time.

Gray lava stone cladding is recommended as a paving stone, as it not only prevents stones from falling, but also allows moisture to escape. Before laying gray lava stone, the upper floor must be removed and used as a substrate for a granite lava paver such as concrete, concrete paver, or concrete slab.

Granite lava rock on a gravel road helps kill weeds and keeps the soil clean for years. This is a long-term treatment that sterilizes the terrain and not only kills weeds, but also prevents future growth. Granite stone lava creates an inhospitable environment for invasive plants, especially when paired with a proper weed barrier. It is recommended to install a barrier of at least 1/2 inch of granite lava rock to reduce the movement of lava rock in the plant bed. Make sure the gravel does not escape—the edge should be flush with surrounding beds and lawns to maintain a clean, contained appearance.

The soil and sand sifted from the rocks above can hinder proper watering and support weed growth. That’s why maintenance plays a key role in long-term performance.

Once a year, a tractor with a dozer blade should be used to move the gray lava stone from the side to the center of the driveway, creating a crown. Maintaining the crown in driveways helps with water drainage, especially if a ditch has been created. Once or twice a week, you can replace the crown with a tractor by pulling the gravel from the sides into the middle. Monthly maintenance—or every two to three weeks—helps you maintain that crown effectively. And once a year, use your tractor and a gauge to push Gray Lava Stone back and forth across the road to restore shape and structure.
