A 20 ft by 10 ft driveway at a 3-inch depth needs roughly 1 cubic yard, or about 1.3 to 1.6 tons of gravel. If you plan on a 4 to 6 inch compacted base for durability in Florida's sandy soils, order 2 to 3 tons to allow for compaction and minor settling.

Washed crushed stone and locally produced

Yes, but preparation matters: for light decorative use you can place gravel over compacted soil, but for driveways or high-traffic areas we recommend a compacted base of crushed stone and a geotextile fabric to limit mixing with local sand. In coastal Florida soils around North Weeki Wachee, addressing drainage and preventing washout are important, so plan for proper edging and possible grading.
