For Four Corners' humid, sandy soils and frequent heavy rain, a compactable crushed stone base (like 1- or 1.5-inch crushed rock with fines) with a top layer of angular 3/4u0022 crushed stone (#57) is a reliable choice because it compacts well and sheds water. Pea gravel can be used as a decorative top layer but may migrate or float after intense storms, and decomposed granite can wash out unless stabilized. Add proper grading, edging, and drainage to reduce erosion and rutting in our climate.

For 100 square feet the approximate amounts are: 2u0022 depth = 0.62 cubic yards (about 0.8-1.0 tons), 3u0022 depth = 0.93 cubic yards (about 1.2-1.5 tons), and 4u0022 depth = 1.23 cubic yards (about 1.6-2.0 tons). Material weight varies by type, so these use a typical gravel density range; always round up for waste, compaction, and sloped areas. Use our material calculator or contact Hello Gravel for a precise quantity for your material choice.

Permit and HOA rules depend on which county your property sits in (Four Corners spans Orange, Osceola, Polk, and Lake counties) and on any homeowners association rules. Before installing a driveway or changing front-yard materials, check with your county building department and your HOA for grading, drainage, and aesthetic requirements. If you need help, Hello Gravel's team can point you toward local resources but we do not issue permits.

To reduce erosion and maintenance in Four Corners, grade the site for good runoff, install edge restraints, and use a compactable base layer with a top dressing of angular stone. Use a geotextile fabric under the base to limit mixing with sandy subsoil, consider gravel stabilizer grids or permeable pavers for high-traffic areas, and add erosion controls like silt socks or French drains where runoff concentrates. Replenish high-wear spots seasonally and regrade after major storms to keep surfaces even.

Gravel usually has the lowest upfront material and installation cost and is quick to install, but it requires more frequent maintenance in Florida due to heavy rain and vegetation—expect periodic raking, topping up, and regrading. Asphalt and concrete have higher initial costs but lower routine upkeep; pavers can be the most expensive up front but offer good durability and repairability. Costs vary by project size and site prep needs, so get quotes for all options and factor in long-term maintenance for Florida's climate.

Yes, local landscapers and driveway contractors serving Four Corners commonly offer site prep, base installation, compaction, and edging for gravel driveways.
