Coverage depends on depth and material density; using a common estimate of 1 cubic yard = 1.4 tons: 1 ton covers about 115 sq ft at 2u0022, 77 sq ft at 3u0022, and 58 sq ft at 4u0022. One cubic yard (27 cu ft) covers about 324 sq ft at 1u0022 so it covers roughly 231 sq ft at 2u0022, 154 sq ft at 3u0022, and 115 sq ft at 4u0022. Use these as planning estimates and order a little extra (5-10%) for compaction and waste.

For 1,000 sq ft, you need about 6.2 cubic yards (2u0022), 9.3 cubic yards (3u0022), or 12.3 cubic yards (4u0022), which equals roughly 8.6, 13.0, or 17.3 tons using a 1.4 ton/yd3 estimate. At $30 to $60 per ton delivered, expect material plus delivery to run about $260 to $1,040 for 2u0022 depth, $390 to $1,560 for 3u0022, or $520 to $1,040+ for 4u0022 depending on material choice and local delivery fees.

If your 20-foot driveway is 10 to 12 ft wide (a common single-lane width), that is 200 to 240 sq ft. At a recommended 3u0022 surface depth you would need about 1.9 to 2.2 cubic yards (2.7 to 3.1 tons); if you include a 4u0022 compacted base layer plus 2u0022 surface, plan on roughly 6 to 8 cubic yards total. Expect materials and delivery for resurfacing to typically range from $150 to $700 depending on gravel type and whether a base layer or spreading services are required; ask Hello Gravel for a site-specific estimate.

A 7x14 dump trailer typically holds about 6 to 8 cubic yards of loose gravel (roughly 8.5 to 11.5 tons, depending on material density). By comparison, a tri-axle dump truck often carries 12 to 16 cubic yards (about 17 to 22 tons), so one delivered truckload usually replaces two trailer loads. Cost-wise, small trailer loads can be cheaper if you already own the trailer, but delivered truckloads are usually the most cost-effective for larger projects because you avoid rental time, multiple trips, and labor.

A 10x10 area (100 sq ft) needs about 0.6 yd3 at 2u0022 (roughly 0.9 tons); delivered cost will commonly be in the $40 to $100 range depending on material. A 20x20 area (400 sq ft) needs about 2.5 yd3 at 2u0022 (roughly 3.5 tons); delivered material typically runs $100 to $400 depending on product and local delivery charges.

You can put gravel over native soil in Clay County, but proper preparation avoids rutting and washout. Remove vegetation, grade and compact the subgrade, install geotextile fabric if the soil is soft, then add a 4u0022 to 6u0022 compacted base of crushed stone before a 2u0022 to 3u0022 surface layer; provide positive drainage away from structures and use swales or French drains where needed. If you have very sandy or wet spots common in parts of Florida, a thicker base and a higher-quality crushed base are recommended.

Cheapest options in Florida are typically crusher-run, bank run, and some local fill gravels, often $25 to $40 per ton delivered. These materials can be suitable for driveways if properly graded and compacted, but cheaper, rounded gravels (like some river rock) can migrate and lose compaction, causing tracking and maintenance issues. For driveways we usually recommend angular crushed stone (crusher-run or #57) for better interlock and compaction.

For Clay County driveways, angular crushed stone (crusher-run, #57, or dense grade aggregate) performs best because it compacts and drains well. Typical recommendations are a 4u0022 to 6u0022 compacted base of crushed stone with a 2u0022 to 3u0022 surface layer of #57 or similar for light use; for heavier loads or truck traffic increase the base to 6u0022 to 8u0022. Use geotextile under soft spots and maintain proper drainage to extend life.

A well-built gravel driveway in Clay County can function for 5 to 15 years before major resurfacing is needed, with most homeowners doing minor maintenance yearly. Expect routine tasks such as raking, filling low spots, and adding 1 to 2 tons of gravel every 1 to 3 years; occasional regrading or adding 3 to 6 tons for resurfacing every 3 to 7 years. Budget roughly $100 to $500 per maintenance visit for small jobs, and $300 to $1,200 for regrading or topping depending on scope and material choice; request local service quotes for exact figures.
