How deep should a driveway be excavated before installation?
The excavation depth for a driveway depends on the type of finish and soil conditions, but generally ranges from 100mm to 300mm. A gravel driveway typically needs around 150mm of compacted base, while concrete or asphalt driveways may require more depth to accommodate sub-base materials. In areas with softer or clay-heavy soil, deeper excavation might be necessary to create a stable foundation that prevents cracking or subsidence. Proper compaction of each layer is also critical to ensure longevity and prevent rutting or drainage issues.
What type of base is best for a driveway?
The most common base material for driveways is crushed rock or road base, which compacts well and provides a strong, even foundation. The material used should allow for good drainage while also offering enough strength to support vehicles over time. In many cases, a two-layer base is recommended — a coarse layer for structure, and a finer layer to level and smooth the surface before the top material (e.g., concrete or pavers) is laid. Professional grading also helps prevent water pooling and surface damage.
How long does it take to excavate a driveway?
Driveway excavation timelines vary depending on site access, terrain, and the size of the area. A basic residential driveway may only take a day, while larger or more complex driveways could take several days, especially if site clearing, drainage, or trenching is involved. Unexpected conditions like rock or poor weather can also affect the timeline. Booking with a 24/7 operator like Bennettron Demex can help keep your project on schedule, even during tight build windows.
