There is effectively no limit to the amount of weight that aluminum can hold, if you use enough aluminum.
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.
You will need 65.93 cubic yards or 84.6 tons of gravel.
It depends on the depth you want the gravel to be and also how much you are charged per cubic yard. However, you will need a minimum of 2,565.5 cubic yards of gravel if you use a 4-inch depth to cover 1,800 square feet. This equates to roughly 28.5 tons of gravel.
dont put too much or it will sink in and get blown away byt the rain
It depends on the depth you require. Using a 12-inch depth, you will need about 218.5 tons of gravel (170.4 cubic yards).
If you use a depth of 3 inches, that area will be about 16.2 cubic yards (around 20.785 tons) of gravel.
That is a tough question. I assume you are asking how heavy can your vehicle be? Residential driveways are made to support passenger cars and light delivery trucks. They are not made to support the weight of heavy commercial trucks. The load-bearing capacity of a typical driveway depends on the soil beneath the driveway, the driveway's foundation (amount of gravel below the asphalt), age of the driveway, the moisture content of the ground, thickness of asphalt, the particular mix of asphalt used and the ground temperature. The typical well built driveway will have 2`` - 3`` of asphalt plus a 4" substrate of gravel. To get some idea of how much weight should be allowed on your driveway, maybe the State load limit is a good reference point. In California the law says: ``The gross weight on any one axle shall not exceed 20,000 pounds, and the gross weight upon any one wheel, or wheels, supporting one end of an axle, shall not exceed 10,500 pounds.`` What that means is a truck with four wheels weighting more than 42,000 Lbs is not allowed on any streets in California. That maximum load is for City/State streets. Those streets are usually built many times stronger than residential driveways. Using that as a gauge, you can decide how much risk you want to take by allowing a heavy truck on your driveway. If I was to make a call, I would not allow a four wheeled truck weighing any more than 10,000 Lb on my driveway. Any more than that and you are likely to get damaged asphalt.

Lately I have been wondering how much damage pine needles and leaves will cause to a gravel driveway if not raked or blown away in the fall and left to sit and decompose. I have a sneaky suspicion that the leaves and needles break down year after year and deposit quite a bit of soil into the gravel if left unattended. This year I decided to rake it all up. We'll see. Anyone else have an opinion?
