For Haines City’s climate, crushed stone (3/4u0022 to 1u0022) and decorative pea gravel are popular because they drain well in Florida’s summer rains and resist settling. Choose crushed stone or crusher run for driveways and heavy-traffic areas, and pea gravel or river rock for walkways and plant beds for a cleaner look.

Coverage depends on depth: one ton of typical gravel equals about 0.7 to 0.75 cubic yards, which covers roughly 120 sq ft at 2u0022 depth or about 80 sq ft at 3u0022 depth. Use your desired depth to calculate how many tons you need for your area.

Measure length and width, multiply to get square feet, then choose a depth (3u0022 is common for driveways). Convert to cubic yards (area x depth in feet / 27), then multiply by about 1.35 to get tons.
