Gravel in Belleview, FL

For Belleview driveways, crushed stone or crushed limestone (3/4" minus or 3/4"-1") is common because it compacts well and forms a stable driving surface. For patios and walkways, pea gravel or decorative Florida shell gravels provide a softer, finished look but they shift more and are better over a compacted base. Regional suppliers often carry decorative crushed shell blends unique to West Florida, which are great for accents and paths but need edging to prevent spreading.

Prices vary by material and season, but expect base gravels to range roughly $25 to $50 per ton and decorative gravels or shells $50 to $100 per ton in the Belleview area. Delivery may be free in many cases or add a modest fee depending on distance and truck access; Hello Gravel lists transparent pricing at checkout for your zip code. For a typical residential order (around 10 to 14 tons) plan on roughly $300 to $1,000 total, depending on material and any expedited delivery fees.

Yes — Hello Gravel connects you with trusted local suppliers and contracted haulers that deliver to Belleview, FL. We coordinate delivery logistics, and while most haulers offer delivery only, some local suppliers or third-party contractors listed on our platform can provide spreading or installation—request this at checkout or contact our team to ask about installation options.

Crushed limestone compacts into a firm surface and generally handles Belleview's heavy rains better for driveways because the angular pieces lock together and resist shifting. Pea gravel is rounder and drains well but tends to migrate and form ruts after storms, so it usually needs more frequent replenishment and edging. For wet climates, add a well-draining base and consider geotextile fabric to reduce mixing with native soils.

A 20x40 ft area is 800 sq ft. At 3 inches deep you need about 7.4 cubic yards, which is roughly 10.5 tons of typical crushed gravel; at 4 inches you need about 9.9 cubic yards, roughly 13.8 tons. Order 10% extra to allow for compaction, settling, and grading, so plan about 11.5 tons (3") or 15.2 tons (4") for a safe estimate.

Expect to do light maintenance annually, with more active maintenance after major storms: rake to redistribute displaced gravel, refill low spots, and regrade drainage paths as needed. Plan on adding a topping layer (0.25" to 0.5") every 1 to 3 years for driveways depending on traffic, and sooner for decorative or shell surfaces that break down faster. Keeping edges contained with pavers or timbers and maintaining positive drainage minimizes how often you need to add material.

Gravel is typically much less expensive to install initially than asphalt or pavers and offers easy, phased improvements for Belleview homeowners. Long-term upkeep is higher—periodic regrading and topping are needed—so total lifetime costs depend on traffic, maintenance frequency, and desired appearance. If budget and permeability are priorities, gravel is a practical choice; if low-maintenance or premium curb appeal matters, asphalt or pavers may be preferable.

Yes, crushed shell and Florida decorative gravels are commonly used around Belleview for walkways, garden beds, and coastal-style landscapes because they match local aesthetics and drain well. Shells can break down over time and may need more frequent topping, and they can be slippery when wet, so choose based on the intended use and expect occasional replenishment. For driveways, use shells only over a stable compacted base and consider a hybrid approach with a tougher base layer beneath decorative top material.

Local rules and HOA covenants vary; some Belleview neighborhoods or HOAs have restrictions on driveway materials, visible gravel, or required edging. Check your HOA guidelines and contact the City of Belleview zoning or planning office before installation to confirm any setback, drainage, or material rules. If you use Hello Gravel, include permit or HOA requirements in order notes and we can help coordinate delivery timing.
