The thickness of an asphalt driveway is in part determined by the proportion of liquid asphalt, sand and aggregate in the asphalt mix. Spreading a 3-inch-thick layer of asphalt over the gravel base is thick enough to provide a smooth, solid surface for vehicles.ravel also provides a flexible buffer that can expand and contract when the ground freezes, preventing cracks and other frost heave damage. The thickness of the gravel base for an asphalt driveway should be at least 8 inches. Plan to install the rocks in 4-inch layers and compact each layer.
