Type 4 gravel (also called #4 or 3/4" minus in some areas) is a mix of small stones and fines that compacts well. It works well for stabilizing driveways, base layers under pavers, and temporary access roads in Bunnell’s sandy soils because it provides a firm, compacted surface. Tell your supplier the intended use so they can match the local blend.

Crushed stone (angular rock) creates a more interlocking, stable base for patios while rounded gravel is better for drainage and a looser look. For Bunnell’s humid climate and occasional heavy rainstorms, a crushed stone base with a top layer of decorative gravel or pavers is a common approach to prevent settling and washout. Ask Hello Gravel for local supplier recommendations for patio-grade mixes.

Sand and gravel mixes are used for concrete, leveling, backfill, and drainage layers common in Bunnell projects. In landscaping you’ll see them used under pavers, in french drains, and as base material for slabs where local sandy subsoil needs a stable layer. Specify your application so suppliers can suggest the right sand-to-gravel ratio.

A standard tri-axle dump truck load (about 12 to 15 tons) cost depends on material and distance but typically ranges from several hundred to over a thousand dollars. Hello Gravel gives exact local quotes including delivery fees when you enter your address; remember minimum online order is 3 tons. For larger contractor loads ask for a truckload quote to get bulk pricing.

Coverage depends on stone size and depth, but 1 ton of gravel generally covers about 80 to 100 square feet at 1 inch depth and about 20 to 25 square feet at 2 inches depth. For common driveway or path depths (2 to 4 inches) plan roughly 0.5 to 1 ton per 10 square feet in our local materials. Use Hello Gravel’s material calculator for a precise estimate.

Two inches is usually too thin for a driveway in Bunnell; it may work for a decorative path but won’t support vehicle traffic long-term. For a residential driveway, a 4 to 6 inch compacted base (often layered with a coarse base under a smooth top layer) is recommended to handle local sandy subgrade and storm water. Consider compacted crushed stone base for durability.

Cost depends on driveway width, depth, and material; a 20 ft long single-car driveway (about 10 ft wide) with a 4-inch base might need 2 to 3 tons of material, costing roughly $100 to $250 for materials plus delivery and spreading. Labor, spreading, and compaction raise total cost; get a quote from Hello Gravel with your project dimensions for an accurate local price. Seasonal demand and supplier availability in Flagler County can change prices.

A single cubic yard of gravel weighs about 1.2 to 1.7 tons depending on stone type; most half-ton pickup trucks cannot safely carry a full yard. Small pickups may carry one yard if payload capacity allows, but for safety and local road rules in Bunnell it is safer to order delivery by dump truck or a smaller contractor load. Hello Gravel’s minimum order is 3 tons and delivery by dump truck is usually the simplest option.

Polymeric gravel or polymeric sand products bind when activated and create a firm, semi-rigid surface that resists shifting, but they are not the same as poured concrete. In Bunnell these products can be useful for walkways and paver joints to reduce weed growth and migration during heavy rains, but they require proper installation and drainage to perform well. Consult product instructions and local suppliers for compatibility with our climate.

Yes, most gravel is permeable and allows water to infiltrate, which helps manage stormwater in Bunnell’s rainy climate. Coarser, uniformly graded stone drains best; finer mixes with a lot of fines will slow drainage and can compact. If surface runoff is a concern, use a drainage layer and consider local grade and soil type when selecting material.

Common downsides include migration (stones moving into grass or beds), weed growth without a proper weed barrier, occasional rutting under heavy traffic, and dust from fines during dry periods. Bunnell’s sandy soils and heavy rains can increase washout risk in low spots, so proper base preparation and edging are important. Regular maintenance like raking and topping up may be required.

You can put gravel directly on soil for short-term use, but for long-term stability it’s better to prepare the base by removing organic topsoil, compacting a sub-base, and adding a layer of crushed stone. In Bunnell’s sandy subsoils, a compacted base helps prevent settling and reduces washout during storms. Consider a geotextile fabric in areas with fine soils to slow mixing of soil and gravel.

You do not generally need sand under driveways or base layers; crushed stone base is more common because it compacts and drains better. Sand is used under pavers or as a leveling layer for flagstone and patios, but it can shift more easily in Bunnell’s rainy conditions if not restrained. Ask Hello Gravel which base is best for your specific application.

A common sand and gravel mix is called concrete aggregate or GAB (granular aggregate base) depending on the blend; locally suppliers may call it fill or ABC stone. These mixes are used for concrete, road base, and compacted foundations for patios and driveways in the Bunnell area. Check with your supplier for the exact local name and gradation before ordering.
