For a 20x20 ft area at 2 inches deep you need about 2.47 cubic yards, which converts to roughly 3.4 to 3.6 tons depending on the stone density. Because of compaction, edging and slight slope, we recommend ordering about 3.5 to 4 tons. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum, so a 4-ton order is commonly chosen for this size driveway.

Angular crushed stone (crushed limestone or crushed granite) tends to lock together and resist washout better than smooth river rock or pea gravel during heavy tropical rains. Crushed shell is popular in South Florida for appearance but can shift and compact differently; river rock looks nice but may roll or float in intense runoff. Regardless of type, proper base prep, edging, and fabric are important to keep material in place during storms.

City of Sunrise zoning typically does not ban decorative rock outright, but local HOAs frequently have rules on front-yard materials, colors, and visible rock coverage. Before ordering, check your HOA covenants and contact Sunrise Code Enforcement or your property manager to confirm any restrictions. When in doubt, save and provide HOA guidelines when you request a quote.

Prevent washout by grading for positive drainage, installing a compacted base (crushed rock or road base), placing a geotextile fabric to separate soil from stone, and installing solid edging to retain material. DIY material costs are mainly per-ton stone plus fabric and edging; professional installs in South Florida commonly run about $1.50 to $6.00 per sq ft depending on prep, edging and drainage work. Get local estimates since costs vary by site access, slope and permit needs.

For citrus trees, organic mulch is generally better for moisture retention and soil health close to the trunk, while decorative stone is a low-maintenance option further out where you want a clean look. Avoid piling stone up against trunks and keep a mulch ring immediately around the trunk to reduce heat stress and improve moisture. Pavers can be fine for pathways but may limit root gas exchange if placed over large rooting areas.

Decorative stone is low-maintenance but not no-maintenance: plan to rake, remove debris, pull weeds, and top up small amounts every few years. With proper installation (fabric and edging), decorative rock can last 10 to 20+ years; expect to add 0.25 to 1 ton for every several hundred square feet every 3-7 years depending on use and washout. Occasional pressure washing or spot replacement may be needed after heavy storms.
