What size?

The gravels most commonly used as a loose surface dressing are in the 10-20mm size range. Anything over 20mm can be difficult to walk upon. In general, the smaller 10mm gravels would be used for footpaths and the 10-20mm gravels for driveways, but it really is a matter of personal taste. One deciding factor could be that, the smaller gravel can be brought into the house on footwear.

What depth?

A thin surface dressing risks being disturbed or scuffed and so exposing the underlying layers, and so we typically recommend the minimum depth be at least twice the size of the gravel being used and/or a minimum of 25mm. And once you have a depth that is more than about three times the size of the gravel, it becomes too unstable.
