Gravel in campbellton, FL

Prices vary by material and season, but expect roughly $15 to $45 per ton for common driveway gravels in the West Florida area. Using a rule of thumb of about 1.3 tons per cubic yard, that equals about $20 to $60 per cubic yard. Final price depends on gravel type, distance from local supplier, and whether delivery is standard or next-day; Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum and often includes delivery in many areas.

Crushed limestone or crush-and-run (angular stone) is popular for driveways because it locks together and resists rutting; it handles Florida rains better than round stone. #57 stone is a common top layer for good drainage and traction, while pea gravel is decorative but can shift and wash out more easily in heavy rain. Crushed shell is locally common near the coast and offers good drainage and a distinctive look, but it can break down faster and may need more upkeep.

A 12'x50' driveway is 600 sq ft. At 2" (0.167 ft) you need about 3.7 cubic yards (roughly 4.8 tons), at 4" about 7.4 cubic yards (roughly 9.6 tons), and at 6" about 11.1 cubic yards (roughly 14.4 tons). Order slightly more (5-10%) to account for compaction and spreading losses, and remember Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum.

Yes, properly selected and installed gravel performs well in Campbellton's humid subtropical climate because it drains better than many paved surfaces. The key is proper base preparation, correct material choice (angular stone for driveways), proper grade for runoff, and periodic maintenance to address washouts after heavy storms. Expect to do more frequent maintenance than in drier climates if your property sees heavy, concentrated runoff.

Use a compacted base of crush-and-run or larger base stone (3-6" compacted) and a top layer of angular #57 or 3/4" crushed stone to lock the surface. Install geotextile fabric under the base to separate sandy soils and reduce migration, add sturdy edging to retain material, and grade the driveway for lateral drainage rather than runoff straight down the slope. For steep or high-flow spots consider swales, pipe outlets, or small retaining features to divert water.

A well-built gravel driveway in the Campbellton area can function for many years, but it requires routine maintenance: periodic grading, pothole repair, and topping. Plan to add 1-3 tons of material every 3-5 years for a typical residential driveway and budget for occasional regrading after heavy storms; maintenance costs are modest compared with asphalt but ongoing. Lifespan and frequency of repairs depend on drainage, traffic, and local rainfall patterns.

Gravel is generally the lowest upfront cost, offers excellent drainage, and is easy to maintain and change; it may require more ongoing topping and grading. Crushed shell gives a coastal look and good drainage but can break down and scatter under heavy traffic and storms. Asphalt is more expensive upfront and requires permits/contractor work, but it lasts longer with less frequent topping; it also reduces permeability and requires stormwater planning in wetter areas.

Tell suppliers about driveway width, gate clearance, low-hanging wires, soft spots, and whether a full-size dump truck can safely enter or turn around on your property. Hello Gravel typically delivers by tri-axle dump truck and has a 3-ton minimum—if access is tight ask about smaller trucks or drop-off locations and note spreading requests at checkout. Provide clear delivery notes and check local access rules to avoid delays or extra charges.

Yes, geotextile fabric is recommended in sandy Florida soils to separate the native sand from the gravel base and reduce down-migration. Excavate for a sturdy base (typically 4-6" compacted base stone for driveways), compact in layers, lay fabric, then add and compact your structural base before a 1-2" top layer of the selected driving surface. Proper compaction and adequate edge restraints will greatly reduce rutting and maintenance needs.

Possibly. Some Jackson County or HOA regulations may limit driveway materials, curb cuts, or drainage, so check local permitting rules and any HOA guidelines before installing or changing a driveway surface. If you need help, Hello Gravel's sales team can point you to local resources, but always confirm permits and HOA approvals before ordering materials.
