A 20x20 driveway is 400 square feet. For 4 inches of material (typical top/base combo) you need about 4.94 cubic yards, which equals roughly 6-7 tons depending on material density; a 6-inch compacted base is about 7.4 cubic yards or roughly 9-10 tons. Because Carrollwood soils can include sandy pockets, you may want a thicker compacted base and geotextile fabric, so many homeowners order toward the higher end of these ranges.

For Tampa-area soils, crushed limestone and AASHTO #57 stone are solid choices because they compact well and resist rutting. Crushed shell is a popular local option for aesthetic coastal look, but it can wash and break down faster in heavy rain; pea gravel looks nice for paths but tends to shift and is not ideal for vehicle driveways without a strong compacted base and edging. Choose a durable base material (crushed stone) under decorative surfacing to get the best long-term performance.

Heavy seasonal rains increase the risk of washouts and rutting, so proper grading, drainage swales, and edge restraints are important to keep gravel in place. Hot, humid weather encourages weed growth in the material, so plan for occasional weed control and topping off after storms. Expect to regrade or add more top layer material every 1-3 years depending on use and storm exposure.

Material-only costs for a 20x20 driveway typically range from a few hundred dollars up to about $800 depending on material and quantity. Professional installation including base prep, edging, compaction, and removal of old material commonly runs from about $1,000 to $4,000 or more depending on site complexity, base depth, and contractor rates. Get local quotes to factor site access, drainage work, and HOA requirements into the final estimate.

Many HOAs in Carrollwood Village have covenants that limit surface materials, color, or curb appearance, so check your community's rules before ordering gravel. For county-level permits or stormwater requirements, contact Hillsborough County building or zoning departments; Hello Gravel can help with delivery but cannot confirm HOA approvals or permits for your property. We recommend confirming HOA and county rules before scheduling delivery to avoid rework.

Install a geotextile fabric over native soil, then add a compacted base of 4-8 inches of crushed stone (6-8 inches for heavy vehicle use). Grade the surface with a slight crown or 1/4 inch per foot slope to shed water, compact each lift with a plate compactor, and finish with a 1-2 inch wearing layer of smaller gravel if desired. Edge restraints and proper drainage features are essential in Carrollwood’s rainy environment to minimize washouts.

Gravel has the lowest upfront material cost and excellent drainage, but it requires regular maintenance like regrading and topping after heavy rains. Pavers and asphalt cost more initially and may need less frequent routine topping, but they require better drainage planning and have higher installation costs. For homeowners in Carrollwood, gravel is a budget-friendly, permeable option if you can manage occasional upkeep and ensure proper base preparation.

Common add-ons include geotextile weed barrier, landscape edging or metal/plastic borders, compaction services, hauling away old material, and additional top-off deliveries. Customers also frequently request tailgate spreading at checkout (driver discretion) and note driveway access photos or placement instructions to avoid delivery delays. If you need installation help, ask our team for local contractor referrals or get a combined quote including delivery and on-site services.

Yes. Our deliveries use tri-axle dump trucks that need adequate turning and drop-off space; narrow lanes, low tree limbs, or tight cul-de-sacs can require a longer carry or smaller truck, which may add fees. Upload photos in your order notes or call our team to discuss access so we can match the right truck and avoid unexpected charges or delays.
