For a 20 ft long driveway the quantity depends on width and depth; a common driveway (10 ft wide) built to a 3-inch surface depth needs about 3.5 tons. If you want a more typical base plus surface (6 inches total), plan on roughly 7.0 tons. A tri-axle dump truck carries about 10-12 tons, so most 20 ft residential driveways will use less than one truckload.

At 2 inches depth, 20 tons of gravel covers about 1,200 square feet; at 3 inches it covers roughly 800 square feet; at 4 inches about 600 square feet. Local aggregate density varies, but these are practical estimates for Washington Park projects. Always measure your space and consult Hello Gravel's material calculator for a precise recommendation.

In Washington Park's sandy and sometimes high-water-table soils, basic prep is recommended: remove organic topsoil, compact the subgrade, and add a crushed stone base where vehicle traffic is expected. Installing a geotextile fabric helps reduce mixing with underlying soil and improves drainage, especially in wet spots. For light footpaths you can place gravel over compacted dirt, but driveways benefit from proper base prep for long-term performance.

Buying in bulk by the ton is almost always cheaper for residential projects in Washington Park when you need more than a few bags. 50 lb bags are convenient for small repairs, decorative accents, or when access limits truck delivery, but their per-ton cost is significantly higher. If you need more than 1/4 to 1/2 ton, bulk delivery is usually the most cost-effective choice.

A 50 lb bag of pea gravel contains about 0.02 cubic yards and covers roughly 4 to 6 square feet at a 1-inch depth. Choose bagged gravel for small patches, planters, or hard-to-access areas where a truck can't dump; choose bulk for driveways, larger pathways, or landscape beds to save money and reduce handling. If your project requires many bags, consider bulk delivery to save time and cost.

Pea gravel works well for walkways and low-traffic driveways in Washington Park because it drains well and has a smooth appearance. Avoid pea gravel for steep driveways or heavy vehicle use because the round stones can shift and rut under load; crushed angular stone provides better interlock for drive aisles. For Florida's wet climate, ensure proper base and edging to keep pea gravel contained.

Labor rates for gravel installation in Washington Park vary; many contractors charge by the project or by the ton rather than strictly by the hour. $100/hour may be reasonable for skilled crews in some cases, but you’ll often see flat bids that include excavation, base prep, compaction, and material — request written estimates. Ask for line-item pricing so you can compare material and labor costs separately.
