For coastal Brevard County, well-draining, angular crushed stone (for example 3/4u0022 crushed stone or crusher-run on a geotextile) is commonly recommended because it compacts and sheds water well; crushed shell mixes are also popular locally for appearance and permeability. Choose washed stone if you want less tracking and dust; consider a base layer and proper drainage to address Florida's high water table and seasonal heavy rains.
