For traction and drainage in Florida's wet conditions, angular crushed stone (like #57 or 3/4u0022 crushed rock) is usually best because it interlocks and sheds water. For base layers use crusher-run or stone screenings for compaction, then a top layer of #57 or similar for drainage and traction; pea gravel drains well but shifts and offers less stability under vehicle traffic. Adding geotextile fabric and proper grading will greatly improve performance in wet soils.

Adding fine sand alone is not usually the best way to stabilize a driveway on Florida's clay or sandy soils; sand can migrate and reduce drainage. A better approach is a compacted base of crusher-run (stone with fines) topped with washed 3/4u0022 crushed stone or screenings; where a blended product is needed, mixes like 3 parts crushed stone to 1 part coarse sand are sometimes used for specific stabilized aggregates. For pavers, use sand for bedding but keep base and surface layers designed for compaction and drainage.

Recommended depths vary by soil and use: light residential 4–6u0022 total (4u0022 may be okay on well-draining soil), heavier or clayey sites 6–8u0022 or more. Example quantities using a 6u0022 depth: 1-car (12' x 20') ≈ 4.4 cubic yards (~6 tons); 2-car (20' x 20') ≈ 7.4 cubic yards (~10 tons); 3-car (30' x 20') ≈ 11.1 cubic yards (~15 tons). Increase quantities for deeper bases, wider driveways, or to allow for compaction and grading; remember Hello Gravel minimum order is 3 tons.

Permit and HOA rules are local and vary widely; some Florida cities or homeowner associations restrict visible gravel driveways or require specific surfacing and drainage. Before you start, check with the Sans Pareil city offices, county permitting department, and your HOA covenants to confirm setback, drainage, and material rules. Hello Gravel can help with delivery logistics but does not handle permits or HOA approvals.

Best practices for Florida include clearing and grading the area, installing geotextile fabric where soft/clayey soils exist, building a compacted crusher-run base in 2–3u0022 lifts with compaction between lifts, and using a rigid edge restraint (timber, concrete, or pavers) to keep material contained. Finish with a 1–2u0022 surface layer of washed crushed stone or #57 for drainage and traction. Hello Gravel provides delivery and can request tailgate spreading at the driver's discretion, but we do not provide full installation services—hire a local contractor for installation.

Light maintenance (raking, filling low spots) is often needed every year, and topping up the surface is common every 2–5 years depending on traffic and heavy rains; heavier rebuilding may be required every 5–10 years. Costs vary by quantity and material type; a small top-up (1u0022 over a 1-car drive) might be under a few hundred dollars delivered, while full replenishment for a 2-car drive can run several hundred to over a thousand dollars delivered. Local weather events, driveway use, and base preparation all affect how often you need to add material.

Crushed stone generally performs better for driveways because it compacts and locks together, providing better traction and resistance to rutting in wet conditions; pea gravel is decorative and comfortable underfoot but shifts and moves under vehicle traffic. Cost differences are usually modest—pea gravel can be slightly more expensive per ton in some areas—but the long-term maintenance and edging needs for pea gravel often make crushed stone the more practical driveway choice in Florida. Choose pea gravel for patios and pathways where movement is acceptable and crushed stone for vehicle areas.

Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons. Standard delivery lead time is 2+ business days; next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Prices can fluctuate seasonally and spike after storms or during high construction demand, so placing orders early for larger projects can help lock in availability and pricing.

Measure the area (length x width) in feet and decide the required depth in inches. Use: Volume (cubic yards) = length x width x depth (in feet) ÷ 27, where depth in feet = inches ÷ 12; then convert to tons by multiplying cubic yards by about 1.35 (typical for gravel).
