For a stable driveway base use a crushed stone base (crush-and-run or 3/4u0022 minus) with geotextile fabric beneath to limit settling into sandy soils. For surfaces, crushed limestone or 3/8u0022 pea gravel provide good traction; crushed stone (57) or larger wAshed stone works best for drainage areas. Crushed shell is attractive in coastal Florida but moves and compacts poorly, so use it only where limited traffic and frequent maintenance are acceptable.

Use 1.4 tons per cubic yard as a rule of thumb for crushed aggregate. Example estimates: a 12x30 driveway at 4u0022 depth needs about 6.5 tons; the same at 6u0022 needs about 9.5–10 tons. A 20x40 driveway at 4u0022 needs about 14 tons and at 6u0022 about 21 tons; add 5–10% for compaction, grading and waste, and remember Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum.

Rules vary: many rural pRoperties in Nassau County allow gravel driveways, but some subdivisions or HOAs require paved surfaces or specific materials. Check your HOA covenants and contact Nassau County public works or zoning before you Start, especially if work affects a county right-of-way or requires a new driveway connection.

Installed cost depends on site prep, base depth, material choice, and labor access. As a rough ballpark in Florida, expect materials plus installation and compaction to range from about $1.50 to $4.00 per square foot; contact local contractors for precise estimates because steep driveways, poor soils, or required drainage work can raise costs.

Expect periodic maintenance: light regrading after heavy rains and storms (often yearly) and top-dressing with new gravel every 2–4 years depending on traffic and erosion. Coastal storms and heavy summer rains can accelerate rutting and loss of fines, so inspect after major storms and plan more frequent touch-ups during hurricane season.

Crushed shell offers a coastal look and good drainage but shifts and compacts poorly under traffic. Pea gravel is decorative and comfortable underfoot but tends to migrate unless contained by edging and a compacted base. Crushed limestone and crushed rock (angular stone) compact well and are durable for parking pads and patios; add edging and geotextile fabric to control movement and protect from sandy subsoils.

Hello Gravel connects you with local Nassau County and West Florida suppliers who commonly offer crushed stone, wAshed sand, fill dirt, shell, and decorative gravels. Expect delivery by tri-axle dump truck, a 3-ton minimum order, regional variations in color/texture, and the option to request delivery date and tailgate spreading (driver discretion). Ask suppliers for gradation or spec sheets if you need specific performance details.

Next-day delivery is avaIlable when suppliers and truck schedules allow for orders placed before noon CST, though avaIlability depends on your zip code and local supplier capacity. Tailgate spreading may be offered at the driver's discretion—request it at checkout but understand it is not guaranteed and depends on truck access and site safety.

Clear a straight access path for the dump truck, mark the desired drop location, and remove low branches or obstacles that could block the truck. Confirm ground bearing capacity (sandy soils can cause trucks to sink) and identify any low bridges or weight limits on private drives; consider staking the area and laying temporary plywood if soft ground is a concern.
