Two inches is usually too thin for a driveway, especially with frequent vehicle traffic and Florida's heavy rains.

Five tons of gravel is roughly 3.5 cubic yards (assuming about 1.4 tons per cubic yard), which would form a pile about 6 ft by 6 ft with a height of 2.5 to 3 ft. The exact pile shape varies by stone size and how the truck dumps it.

Yes, many homeowners in Coral Springs install gravel themselves for walkways, pads, and small driveways. Important tips: prepare and compact the base, consider a geotextile fabric for weed control, calculate the right depth, and order at least the 3-ton minimum; for larger or grade-sensitive jobs consider hiring pros.

Buying in bulk and choosing locally sourced base gravel will usually give the best per-ton price; coordinate delivery to a location with clear truck access to avoid extra fees. Compare Hello Gravel quotes from local suppliers and schedule deliveries on regular business days to minimize added charges.

Gravel can last many years as a surface material, but in Coral Springs you should expect some movement, compaction, and loss after heavy rains or storms. Routine maintenance—periodic raking, topping up low spots, and re-compaction—keeps gravel functional for a decade or more depending on use.
