One cubic yard is 27 cubic feet. In Inverness conditions, 1 cubic yard covers about 324 sq ft at 1/4u0022 (practically not used), 108 sq ft at 3/4u0022, 54 sq ft at 1-1/2u0022, and about 27 sq ft at 3u0022; for typical landscape uses, more useful numbers are: 1u0022 covers ~100 sq ft, 2u0022 covers ~50 sq ft, and 3u0022 covers ~33 sq ft. (Actual coverage varies by stone size and compaction; order slightly extra to allow for compaction and settling.)

A 10x10 area is 100 sq ft. At common depths: 1u0022 needs ~0.31 yd3 (~0.4 tons), 2u0022 ~0.62 yd3 (~0.8 tons), and 3u0022 ~0.93 yd3 (~1.2 tons; most homeowners round up to meet the 3-ton minimum). Expect materials plus delivery roughly $80-$250 for small jobs in the Inverness area—cheaper if you choose crusher-run or road base, higher for decorative stone; get a quote since minimum orders and delivery fees affect final price.

Twenty tons is about 15.4 cubic yards (using ~1.3 tons per cubic yard typical for local gravels). That quantity will cover roughly 2,490 sq ft at 2u0022 depth, 1,660 sq ft at 3u0022 depth, and about 1,245 sq ft at 4u0022 depth. For driveways we usually recommend 3u0022 to 4u0022 over a stable base for passenger vehicles; heavier use or poor subgrade may need more depth and base work.

If you mean a standard single-car strip ~20 ft long by 10 ft wide (200 sq ft) at a 3u0022 depth, you need about 1.85 yd3 (roughly 2.4 tons), which typically bumps to the 3-ton minimum. Materials and delivery for that size usually run $120-$300 depending on material chosen and delivery fees in Inverness Highlands South. Add basic labor for spreading and compacting—expect an additional $200-$700 for a small crew or landscape contractor; total typical range is $320-$1,000 depending on site prep and whether heavy equipment is required.

Delivered gravel prices in the Florida region near Inverness commonly range from about $25 to $60 per ton depending on type (crusher-run and road base at the low end, decorative stone at the high end). Per cubic yard that converts roughly to $35 to $80 per yd3, given typical material density. Prices vary by supplier, material size, and delivery distance; request a delivered quote for an accurate number for your address.

The most cost-effective and commonly used material for driveways in the area is crusher-run (also called road base or crusher fines). Pros: compacts well and creates a stable, low-cost driving surface; widely available from local suppliers. Cons: not as decorative, can generate dust, and will need periodic maintenance and topping after heavy rains or use—Florida’s wet climate can accelerate rutting if drainage and base prep are poor.

For 1,000 sq ft at a typical driveway depth of 3u0022 you need about 9.3 cubic yards or roughly 12.1 tons (using ~1.3 tons/yd3). At delivered prices of $25-$60 per ton, materials plus delivery typically range from about $300 to $800; choosing decorative stone increases the upper end. Final cost depends on supplier rates, delivery fees, and whether you need spreading/compaction services.

Suppliers and contracted haulers can deliver to a 20x20 area; tailgate spreading may be available but is performed at the driver’s discretion and is not guaranteed. A 20x20 area (400 sq ft) at 2u0022 depth needs about 2.5 yd3 (~3.2 tons), so material plus delivery often costs $120-$300 depending on material; adding spreading (either via driver if available or a hired crew) typically adds $75-$250. For a guaranteed spread, arrange spreading with a landscaper or add a paid spreading service at checkout and confirm details before delivery.

Hourly labor rates vary by task and skill level; general landscaping labor in the Inverness area often runs lower ($40-$80/hr), while skilled operators or small contractors with equipment can charge $75-$125/hr or more. So $100/hr is reasonable for experienced crews or jobs that include operator time and equipment, but it may be high for basic unskilled labor.
