On sandy, high-water-table sites we recommend angular, crushed stone mixes with a well-graded base (for example 3/4u0022 crushed stone with some fines or a compacted base of larger rock) because they lock together and resist shifting. Avoid loose, round pea gravel for driveways since it moves easily; always combine with a geotextile fabric and a properly compacted base to improve stability and drainage.

For 3/4u0022 crushed gravel use these estimates: 1,000 sq ft at 3u0022 needs about 9.3 cubic yards (~14 tons) and at 4u0022 about 12.4 cubic yards (~19 tons. For 1,500 sq ft at 3u0022 you need about 13.9 cubic yards (~21 tons) and at 4u0022 about 18.5 cubic yards (~28 tons). Order 5–10% extra to allow for compaction, grading and slight measurement differences.

Labor and installation depend on site prep, access, and whether existing material must be removed. Typical ranges in Florida are: gravel driveway installation (grading, base, compacting) $1.50–$3.50 per sq ft; patio or small yard surfacing $2.00–$6.00 per sq ft; parking pads $1.50–$4.00 per sq ft. Get local bids because costs vary with haul distance, equipment needed, and contractor experience.

Florida rain can cause rutting, washouts and migration of fines if gravel is not properly installed; a layered approach helps. We recommend a durable subbase (larger angular rock), geotextile fabric to separate sand from aggregate, and a compacted wearing layer; proper grading and edge restraints reduce erosion and help runoff. These measures greatly reduce long-term maintenance in Williston’s rainy climate.

Permitting and HOA rules vary by neighborhood in Williston. Some properties may require a city driveway permit or have HOA covenants restricting front-yard materials, curb cuts, or visible gravel. Check with the City of Williston building department and your HOA before ordering; Hello Gravel can help point you to local contacts if you need guidance.

Upfront, gravel is usually the least expensive (roughly $1–$3 per sq ft installed), asphalt is midrange ($3–$6 per sq ft), and pavers are the most expensive ($8–$20+ per sq ft). Over 10–15 years, gravel requires periodic regrading and topping every few years, asphalt needs periodic crack sealing and resealing, and pavers are lowest maintenance but can shift if drainage is poor. Consider drainage, storm exposure, and long-term upkeep when choosing a surface for Williston’s climate.

Hello Gravel coordinates delivery by local dump truck fleets; standard delivery is 2+ business days with next-day available if ordered before noon CST for a fee. Drivers may be able to tailgate spread at their discretion—request it at checkout but expect the driver to assess site conditions for safety; always include delivery notes (preferred drop location, obstacles) when you order.
