Heavier materials like crushed limestone cover a bit less area per ton than lighter mixes or shell-based blends common in coastal Florida. For precise coverage, use volume-based calculations (cubic yards) or our calculator at checkout.

For driveways in North Palm Beach, 3/4u0022 crushed stone or crushed rock with fines is a common choice because it compacts well and provides a stable surface. In coastal yards, many homeowners use compactable mixes or crushed shell mixes for a local look, but be aware shells break down faster. Consider drainage, HOA rules, and salt exposure when picking material, and ask our team for local recommendations.

Cost depends on width and depth; for a single-car 100 ft driveway (about 10 ft wide) at 3 inches deep you might need roughly 4.5 to 6 tons, costing approximately $150 to $450 for materials plus delivery. Contractor labor or spreading services raise the price. Use Hello Gravel to get an exact quote based on material choice and your delivery address.

Two inches is usually too thin for a driveway that will see regular vehicle traffic; 3 to 4 inches over a compacted base is recommended for driveways. In sandy coastal soils common around North Palm Beach, a thicker compacted base helps prevent rutting. If you plan heavy vehicles, build a deeper base and consider professional installation.

The most cost-effective approach is to order locally sourced bulk gravel by the ton rather than buying bags, since Hello Gravel's minimum is 3 tons and bulk pricing reduces per-ton cost. Choose common base mixes rather than decorative stones, and schedule standard delivery instead of expedited service to avoid extra fees. Comparison-shop materials and ask about nearby suppliers to reduce haul distance.

A 20x20 ft area at 2 inches deep needs about 2.5 cubic yards or roughly 3 to 4 tons, so expect material and delivery costs around $75 to $250 depending on gravel type. If you go 3 inches deep for better stability, plan for 4 yards or about 5 tons and higher cost. Add any hauling, spreading, or compaction labor to get a full installed price.

A 7x14 dump trailer commonly carries about 3 to 4 cubic yards of gravel, depending on sidewall height and how full you load it. In tons that equals roughly 4 to 6 tons for typical aggregate densities. For larger residential needs in North Palm Beach, a dump truck delivery from Hello Gravel is usually more efficient than multiple trailer trips.

A properly installed gravel driveway or path can last many years, but coastal Florida conditions speed some wear; expect periodic top-ups every 2 to 5 years depending on traffic and drainage. High-traffic areas, hurricane storms, or poor drainage will require more frequent maintenance. Regular grading and adding fresh material prevents deep ruts and potholes.

Five tons of typical crushed stone is roughly 3.5 to 4 cubic yards, enough to cover about 400 to 600 sq ft at a 1-inch depth or 120 to 200 sq ft at a 2- to 3-inch depth. Visually it will come in a single dump pile large enough for small landscaping or driveway top-ups.

Yes, many North Palm Beach homeowners install gravel themselves: tasks include site prep, edging, base compaction, spreading, and compacting the final layer. Coastal soils may need extra grading or geotextile fabric to prevent washout, and heavy equipment helps for larger areas. Hello Gravel offers delivery-sized loads by the ton and driver spreading may be available at checkout, though spreading is at the driver's discretion.

Base or recycled aggregate mixes and common crushed stone are usually the least expensive options in the North Palm Beach area. Decorative gravels, colored stone, and crushed shells cost more due to processing and demand. For the best price, order bulk by the ton from local suppliers through Hello Gravel and choose standard base mixes.
