Twenty tons is roughly 14–15 cubic yards of material, which will cover about 1,200 to 1,500 sq ft at a 2–3 inch depth depending on the stone's density. For a typical gravel driveway (3 inches), 20 tons usually covers about 1,100 to 1,500 sq ft. Always round up to allow for compaction and future settling.

Locally sourced base materials such as crusher run or recycled crushed concrete are generally the most economical choices for driveways and base layers. Decorative gravels, river rock, and colored aggregates tend to cost more. Consider local availability on Fort George Island—materials that are sourced nearby usually cost less because delivery is shorter.

A 20x20 driveway (400 sq ft) at a 3 inch depth needs about 5 to 6 tons of gravel. Using a rough material price range of $30 to $70 per ton, material cost would be around $150 to $420, plus delivery and any spreading/compaction labor. Island delivery, tight access, or added spreading services can increase the final price, so get a local quote for accuracy.

One cubic yard of gravel covers roughly 108 sq ft at a 3 inch depth and about 162 sq ft at a 2 inch depth.

For Fort George Island projects, account for some extra material to offset washout and settling.

Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, and you can request it at checkout. On Fort George Island, spreading depends on site access, driveway slope, and safety; there are no guarantees that spreading will be performed. If you need guaranteed spreading, plan to hire a local crew or contractor.

Choose an angular crushed stone (for example, 57 stone or crush-and-run base) for strength and compaction so the surface resists rutting and washout. In coastal Fort George Island conditions, slightly larger, well-graded mixes resist being washed away during heavy rains and storms. Pair gravel with a geotextile fabric and proper grading to improve stability and reduce mixing with native sand.

Hello Gravel typically delivers with tri-axle dump trucks and requires at least 2 business days for standard delivery; next-day delivery may be available for orders placed before noon CST. When ordering, note delivery access, where to place the material, and any HOA or permitting rules in the Order Notes.

At 2 inches depth you would need about 9.5 cubic yards per 1,000 sq ft, so roughly 269 cubic yards (about 377 tons); at 3 inches depth you would need about 403 cubic yards (about 565 tons). Large orders for an acre are practical but require coordination for delivery and staging on Fort George Island, so contact Hello Gravel for bulk pricing and logistics.

Gravel can perform well, but Fort George Island’s coastal storms and heavy rainfall can cause shifting, erosion, or partial washout, especially for fine or decorative gravels. Using a coarser, well-graded base, proper grading, geotextile fabric, and occasional maintenance (top-ups and regrading) improves long-term performance. For properties in flood-prone or highly exposed areas, consult a local contractor for erosion control solutions.
