A 20 x 40 ft driveway at 4 inches deep requires about 9.9 cubic yards, which converts to roughly 15 tons of gravel using a typical crushed-stone density. We recommend ordering 10-15% extra to allow for compaction and grading, so plan on about 17 tons; Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons, so multiple tons are deliverable.

For most Miami driveways start with a compacted base of crusher run or crushed limestone for stability, then top with 3/4u0022 crushed stone or 3/8u0022 to 1/2u0022 clean crushed stone for good compaction and traction. Pea gravel looks nice but shifts more on clay soils and during heavy rains; local contractors often recommend angular crushed stone in areas with seasonal rain and occasional freeze-thaw cycles for better long-term performance.

Installation costs vary, but contractors in the Miami area typically charge between about $2 and $6 per square foot for a full install that includes base preparation, drainage work, and compaction. For an 800 sq ft driveway that equates to roughly $1,600 to $4,800; get multiple local quotes because price depends on site prep, soil conditions, and access.

Gravel can hold up well if installed with a proper base, drainage, and edge restraints, but expect some maintenance after heavy rains and seasonal freeze-thaw cycles. Low spots, ruts, and washouts are the usual problems that require grading and occasional top-ups every few years depending on traffic and drainage; proper installation reduces how often you need to replenish.

Gravel has a lower upfront cost but generally higher ongoing maintenance—periodic grading, weed control, and topping up—while asphalt costs more to install but usually needs less frequent routine upkeep. For lower initial budget choose gravel; for reduced maintenance over 10+ years asphalt often ends up cheaper in labor and rework, so weigh your budget and long-term plans.

Permit and HOA rules vary by neighborhood; some city regulations or HOAs in Miami may restrict driveway materials, colors, or work in the public right-of-way. Before ordering gravel, check with the City of Miami building or planning department and your HOA documents to confirm any permits or design rules that apply.

For erosion control on slopes use larger, angular stone such as 1u0022-2u0022 crushed stone or small riprap for concentrated flow areas, combined with terraces, geotextile fabric, and vegetation to stabilize soil. To estimate quantities use this formula: cubic yards = (area in sq ft * depth in inches) / 324, then multiply cubic yards by about 1.4-1.6 to get tons; order an extra 10% for settlement and compaction.

Yes, contractors can install a permeable RV pad using a geotextile fabric, a 4u0022-6u0022 compacted base of crusher run (for stability) and a 2u0022-3u0022 topping layer of angular 3/4u0022 crushed stone for drainage and load distribution. Use sturdy edge restraints such as concrete curbing, steel edging, or treated timber to keep the stone contained and ask your contractor about subgrade compaction and slope for runoff control.
