Choose hard, salt-resistant stones such as crushed granite, quartz-based crushed stone, or clean river rock rather than softer limestones or shell materials that can break down faster in wet conditions. Angular crushed stone (3/4" minus or 3/4" to 1") compacts well for driveways and resists shifting from coastal winds and vehicle traffic. Regional sourcing means color and exact make-up will vary, so add preferences in Order Notes if color or texture matters.

Both drain well, but crushed stone drains faster and locks together better to resist washout in heavy tropical rains, while pea gravel is rounder and drains well but can float or migrate during storms. For coastal landscaping beds that need stability during heavy rain, a crushed stone base or mix of crushed stone with a top layer of pea gravel gives good drainage and a neater finish. Use edging and consider a geotextile fabric to keep material in place on sandy slopes.

For a 20x40 ft driveway (800 sq ft): - 2 inch depth: about 6.4 tons. - 3 inch depth: about 9.6 tons. - 4 inch depth: about 12.8 tons. These estimates assume roughly 1.3 tons per cubic yard; sandy coastal subgrades may need a thicker compacted base (4-6 inches) for long-term stability, so plan accordingly and use our material calculator for precise numbers.

Indian Harbour Beach and local HOAs can have rules about driveway materials, curb cuts, and visible surfaces, so check your city zoning office and any HOA covenants before installing gravel in front yards. Some HOAs restrict loose gravel for front-facing driveways or require specific edging and maintenance standards. If you are unsure, ask your HOA or the city planning department and save documentation before ordering materials.

Gravel is durable, but coastal conditions and heavy rain or storm surge can move or wash away surface material; expect to top up decorative layers every 1-3 years depending on traffic and storm exposure, and to add more after a major storm. Well-prepared bases and proper edging reduce how often you need to replenish material. Inspect your gravel after each hurricane season and plan maintenance accordingly.

Gravel is lower cost and easier to repair after wind or water damage, but it can be displaced by storm surge and heavy runoff. Pavers are more durable under regular use and can resist wind damage if properly installed on a compacted base, but they are more expensive and can be lifted by floodwaters. Choose based on your tolerance for maintenance, budget, and flood-risk for your property; for high surge areas consider elevated construction and professional advice.

Yes. For Indian Harbour Beach's sandy coastal soils, use a compacted crushed stone base of about 4 inches for walkways and patios and 6-8 inches for driveways, plus a 1 inch bedding layer of sand for pavers. Adding a geotextile fabric between the sandy subgrade and crushed stone helps prevent settling and migration. Proper compaction in layers is critical given the local loose sands and high water table.

Costs vary by material, delivery, site access, and whether you hire labor for base preparation and compaction. As a rough guide, material might run $30-$60 per ton, delivery is often included or quoted at checkout, and professional base prep/installation can add several hundred to a few thousand dollars for a 20x40 driveway depending on the depth and compaction required. For exact pricing, use Hello Gravel to get a delivery quote and request contractor estimates for installation and compaction.

As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.
