If you mean a 20 ft long by 10 ft wide driveway (200 sq ft) at a typical 3-inch depth, you will need about 2.5–3 tons of gravel (roughly one 3-ton minimum delivery). At local delivered prices that usually translates to about $100–$250, depending on the material chosen and whether you add delivery services like tailgate spreading. For heavier vehicle use or better drainage, plan for a thicker base and higher material costs.

In Golden Glades/T​he Woods one dump-truck equivalent (20 tons is about 14.3 cubic yards) will cover roughly 2,316 sq ft at 2 inches deep, about 1,544 sq ft at 3 inches deep, and about 1,158 sq ft at 4 inches deep. Coverage varies with the gravel type and how tightly it is compacted, so use these figures as estimates and check with your supplier for exact yield per ton.

For 1,000 sq ft at a common 3-inch depth you need roughly 9.3 cubic yards or about 13 tons of gravel. Using local delivered price ranges of about $35–$75 per ton, expect a material cost around $450–$975, not including any special delivery fees, spreading, or base prep.

For driveways in this part of Florida, angular crushed stone with fines (for example crushed limestone or 3/4u0022 crushed rock) is usually best because it compacts and locks together, resisting movement in heavy rain. Avoid loose rounded pea gravel for primary driveways used by vehicles; consider a structural base, geotextile fabric, edge restraints, and good drainage because of local sandy soils and frequent storms.

Yes—compaction is important in Golden Glades to keep gravel stable on sandy subsoils and to resist washout from heavy rains. Remove organic topsoil, install a compacted base layer (crushed stone or screenings), lay geotextile fabric if needed, then place your finish gravel and compact in layers for best results.

Gravel can wash or migrate on slopes and in heavy storm runoff common to South Florida. Prevent erosion with proper slope grading, edge restraints, drainage swales or French drains, use coarser angular material on slopes, and consider vegetation or permeable pavers where concentrated flow is expected.

While Golden Glades is inland relative to the immediate coast, salt can still affect materials used near coastal areas of South Florida; crushed shell is attractive but can break down and stain, while some aggregates resist salt and weathering better. Ask your supplier about local performance and choose materials (like dense limestone or granite-based gravels) that hold up to wet conditions and occasional salt exposure.

Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum order and delivers by contracted dump trucks (often tri-axle). Schedule delivery at least two business days out for standard service, request next-day only if you meet cutoff times, add delivery instructions and color preferences in Order Notes, and note that tailgate spreading is optional and at the driver's discretion.
