Driveways commonly use crushed stone (3/4u0022 to 1u0022) and crusher run for compaction, while pea gravel and landscaping gravel are popular for garden paths and beds. In coastal and Redland pRoperties, shell and crushed limestone are also frequently used for their local avaIlability and look, but they behave differently in wet conditions.

Use this rule: 1 inch depth over 100 sq ft is about 0.45 tons (roughly 0.3 cubic yards). That means 2 inches ≈ 0.9 tons, 3 inches ≈ 1.35 tons, and 4 inches ≈ 1.8 tons. Always round up for settling and order at least the Hello Gravel minimum of 3 tons if you need multiple areas.

In South Florida's humid climate expect to regrade and add 1 to 3 inches of material every 2 to 5 years depending on traffic, drainage, and base prep. Common maintenance includes removing weeds, regrading ruts after heavy rains, refreshing edges, and topping up loose stone; with regular upkeep a gravel driveway can last 5 to 15 years before a significant resurfacing.

Crushed stone compacts well and resists shifting, making it good for driveways and heavy use. Pea gravel is decorative and comfortable to walk on but can move under vehicle traffic. Shell provides a local aesthetic and is common in South Florida, but shells can break down, shift, and may not compact as firmly as crushed stone, so they are best for low-traffic or decorative areas.

Restrictions vary by municipality and HOA; some local governments and associations limit driveway materials, colors, or require permits for new curb cuts. Before ordering gravel for a Redland pRoperty, check your HOA rules and contact Miami-Dade County or your local permitting office if driveway changes affect the public right-of-way.

Clay soils in the Redland area can rut when wet, so gravel delivery is still possible but benefits from preparation: provide a firm access point, consider a temporary plywood pad for the truck, or install a base layer of larger rock and geotextile to stabilize the surface. Drivers will assess access on arrival; tell us about soft spots in Order Notes so suppliers can plan the safest delivery.

Open-graded rock such as #57 stone or 3/4u0022 wAshed drainage rock lets water pass through and reduces erosion when installed with pRoper slope and fabric. For shoreline or high-erosion spots near Redland, larger riprap or engineered stone combined with geotextile is more effective. Always design drainage layers to move water away from structures and low spots.

Typical local ranges are approximate: crusher run or base stone $20 to $45 per ton, 3/4u0022 crushed stone $25 to $55 per ton, pea gravel $30 to $60 per ton, and decorative or specialty gravels $40 to $80 per ton. Prices depend on supply, season, and distance; request a custom quote for Redland deliveries to get an exact price including any delivery fee.

Clear a 15-20 foot-wide path from the street to the drop area and remove low-hanging branches so a tri-axle dump truck can access the site. Note soft or swampy areas in Order Notes, choose a delivery date during dry weather if possible, and request tailgate spreading at checkout if you want the driver to consider leveling (drivers decide at arrival and spreading is not guaranteed).
