Specialty colors or washed materials are often at the higher end of the range. For a precise price, request a local quote through Hello Gravel.

For Conway driveways you usually want a compactable base like crusher run or crushed limestone topped with a 3/4u0022 or #57 stone for drainage and traction. In coastal and central Florida areas, crushed shell or coquina can be attractive but may move more under traffic, so it often needs edging and regular maintenance. A proper compacted base and drainage are more important than decorative topcoat alone.

A 20 ft by 50 ft driveway (1,000 sq ft) at about 3 inches depth needs roughly 9 to 12 tons of gravel depending on material density. Material and delivery for that quantity in Conway usually fall between $400 and $1,200, with extra for spreading, compaction, and any site prep. Contact Hello Gravel for an exact quote and to schedule delivery and optional spreading requests.

Twenty tons of gravel equals roughly 15 to 16 cubic yards. At 3 inches depth that will cover about 1,600 sq ft, and at 2 inches depth about 2,400 to 2,500 sq ft. Coverage varies by stone size and compaction, so use these as estimates and check with your Hello Gravel material calculator.

The most economical options in Conway are usually locally available crushed limestone or recycled crushed concrete (when offered). These materials perform well as base or driveway material and cost less than decorative washed stone. Prices depend on regional availability, so compare local quotes through Hello Gravel for best value.

One ton of gravel is about 0.75 to 0.8 cubic yards and weighs roughly 2,000 to 2,600 pounds depending on the material. Many full-size pickups can carry that volume by bed space, but payload capacity (check the sticker in your door jamb) may be lower than the gravel weight. To avoid overloading and liability, consider delivery from Hello Gravel if you need more than a small amount.

Buying in bulk (minimum 3 tons with Hello Gravel) and choosing a common local material will generally give the lowest per-ton price. Ask about recycled or local quarry materials, compare supplier quotes, and schedule standard delivery windows to avoid rush fees. Hello Gravel connects you to multiple local suppliers so you can compare prices and pick preferred delivery dates.

Hourly rates vary by skill and equipment; $100 per hour can be reasonable for skilled crews using equipment like mini-excavators or skid steers, but it would be high for basic hand labor alone. Get an itemized estimate that separates labor, equipment, and material so you can compare apples to apples. Hello Gravel can help with material costs so you only negotiate labor and installation with local contractors.

One cubic yard is 27 cubic feet. At 2 inches depth it covers about 162 sq ft, at 3 inches about 108 sq ft, and at 4 inches about 81 sq ft. These are coverage estimates; actual coverage depends on stone size and compaction.

One acre is 43,560 sq ft. To cover an acre at 2 inches depth you need roughly 269 cubic yards or about 350 tons; at 3 inches depth you need about 405 cubic yards or roughly 525 tons. Local material density and compaction change totals, so request a site-specific estimate from Hello Gravel.

Gravel alone does not turn into concrete, but you can create a hard, stable surface using crusher-run (gravel with fines) compacted well or using stabilizing products like polymer binders or gravel bound resin systems. These options lock the aggregate together and reduce migration, but they are not the same as poured concrete and cost more than loose gravel. Talk to local suppliers for stabilized mixes appropriate for Conway's climate and drainage conditions.

Start with good grading and drainage, install a geotextile fabric if the ground is soft, then add a compactable base such as 4 to 6 inches of crusher run or crushed stone and compact it. Finish with 1 to 2 inches of topcoat stone for traction. In wet Florida soils pay special attention to surface water runoff and edge restraints to keep material in place.
