Recommendations for places that could deliver ~4 yds of ledge pack/nit-pack? Thnks

If you're on the water and you're doing the job yourself, check the rules on impervious surfaces. There are limits in order to minimize phosphorous run off into the lake (it clouds the water). I do not know which surfaces are classified which way, though Nit Pack sounds impervious. If you increase your impervious surface area, you may run afoul of the rules, and you may be fouling your lakefront.

I think it depends on what the driveway surface is now, assuming it complied when installed. See the NH DES FAQ under impervious surfaces; link below. When we did our house I was surprised to learn that pavement and gravel or stone are all considered impervious.

Like above, if your driveway gets plowed in the winter don't use stone. You will be sorry.
