250 feet times 8 feet is 2000sqft, times one inch thick is 166.67 cuft. 166.67 cuft is 6.17 yards. Stone weight approximately 1.25 tons per yard. Therefore, at an inch thick, you need 7.71 tons of pea gravel. 250 feet times 8 feet is 2000sqft, times one inch thick is 166.67 cuft. 166.67 cuft is 6.17 yards.

When they need an approximate measurement. The scales used to weigh a truckload of gravel are not as accurate as laboratory scales that can measure the weight of a pencil mark on a bit of paper- but extreme accuracy is not needed for the gravel truck.
That depends how wide you want the driveway ! A driveway 10 feet wide would be 35 feet long, but - a driveway just 8 feet wide just 7 feet wide would be 50 feet long !
Square metre
Gravel is bought in cubic quantities, or by weight. You ask "to fill" but you only give a square measure. The volume of gravel required wil depends on the depth you wish the gravel to be. To fill 81 square metres to a depth of 5 cm would require 4.05 cubic metres of material.
Probably meters
I would not recommend the use of gravel for a driveway as everytime you drive over it gravel is flicked about by the car tyres.
We don't have the area of the driveway so it would be hard to say. Grass will not grow in compacted gravel so you would have to remove all the gravel and possibly bring in top soil before laying the sod.
First, find the total square footage of your driveway. You can find this by multiplying the length of the driveway by the width of the driveway. When you have determined the square footage, you need to decide how thick you will apply the gravel. At a depth of 1", 1 cubic yard of gravel will cover 320 square feet. So for example, if you would like to put down 3 inches of material over 1000 square feet, you would do the following. 1000 square ft./320 = 3.125 3.125*3" depth = 9.375 yards
You would need about 5 cubic yards. Gravel is usually sold by the ton. I do not know that conversion. Who ever would deliver it for you should be able to help. If I were using crushed concrete I would use 15 tons... but I can not spread it 1" thick either.
A brick driveway is easy to keep clean and is just as functional as a grass/gravel driveway. It is possible to pave your own driveway, there are lots of hints and tips online. To find someone to do it for you it would be wise to search your local area to find someone suitable for the job and who offers the best price.
Hello, First i would like to say that its not only sand, you should have some gravel under the sand, for driveway you should go with 4.5" of gravel backyard patio you can go with 3.5" and sand is about 1.5" doesn't matter if its driveway or patio/walkway. don't forget that you should compact the sand and the paver as well.

If you wish to get cement it's better to buy it bagged. If you wish to make concrete using the ratio suggested there would be 64 sand to 80 of gravel.
yes it would. you could also separate it with a magnet then the gravel would stick to the magnet. +++ Magnetic gravel? You can separate diatomaceous earth from gravel simply by sieving. Gravel is not magnetic (unless it happens to be a magnetic ore of iron!).

a paved driveway would not be considered a man made structure as a driveway would not meet the normal definition of a structure (as defined in a dictionary) in my mind, a driveway would be considered a 'use' of land that would be regulated by local zoning by-laws or ordinances
the best way to get paint off your driveway would be mineral turpentine.
