For Daytona Beach Shores, crushed shell offers a classic coastal look and drains well but can break down under heavy traffic. Pea gravel drains and compacts nicely for walkways and patios but can shift on slopes; crushed stone (3/4") is best for driveways where stability is needed. Consider the specific use—decorative paths or beachy landscaping can use shell or pea gravel, while driveways and high-traffic areas benefit from crushed stone with a compacted base.

As a rule of thumb, 1 inch of gravel covers about 200 to 250 square feet per ton; at 2 inches that becomes roughly 100 to 125 sq ft per ton. For driveways, plan on 3 to 4 inches of compacted surface for light use and 4 to 6 inches for regular vehicle traffic, which is roughly 0.9 to 1.8 tons per 100 sq ft depending on depth. Remember Hello Gravel’s 3-ton minimum, so small projects may require ordering more than the exact calculated amount.

On wet, sandy lots, pea gravel drains well but can migrate if not contained; crushed stone locks together better and resists washout. Crushed shell looks appropriate on the coast but tends to break down and can compact into fines after heavy rain or traffic. For salt spray, all natural aggregates perform acceptably, but stability and drainage are the main concerns—use a stable base and edging to limit movement.

Yes—geotextile fabric is recommended on sandy, wet sites to separate soil from aggregate and reduce rutting and washout. Edge restraints and optional grid or paver stabilization systems help keep gravel from spreading onto adjacent sandy lots or beach access. Polymer stabilizers or a compacted base layer can be useful on slopes or driveways to reduce migration and maintenance needs.

Decorative gravels in the Daytona area typically run between $60 and $120 per ton or about $80 to $160 per cubic yard, depending on color, rarity, and whether the material is washed or screened. Local availability and trucking distance affect price, so use Hello Gravel to check real-time quotes for your zip code. Keep in mind decorative material often requires thicker coverage to achieve the desired look, which raises total cost.

In Daytona Beach Shores you should expect to regrade and top up a gravel driveway every 1 to 3 years, with more frequent attention after heavy storms or tropical weather. Routine maintenance includes raking and regrading low spots, adding 0.5 to 1 inch of new gravel as needed, and addressing weeds with fabric and spot treatments. Costs are mainly for material (per-ton cost) and occasional labor or equipment rental if you need professional grading.

You may need HOA approval or local permits depending on your neighborhood and the scope of work—Daytona Beach Shores has local ordinances and HOA covenants that can restrict front-yard materials and driveways. Contact your HOA and the City of Daytona Beach Shores planning or building department before ordering materials to confirm any setback, drainage, or stormwater requirements. Hello Gravel can help estimate quantities once you have approval, but we don’t handle permitting.

Deliveries in Daytona Beach Shores are typically made by tri-axle dump trucks; for narrow or difficult-access lots suppliers may use smaller dump trucks or offload with a loader or bobcat. Plan on moving material by wheelbarrow or mini-excavator for tight access—tailgate spreading may be requested at checkout but is done at the driver’s discretion. Add detailed access notes and contact info to your order so the supplier can plan equipment and reduce extra labor charges.
