For driveways in Kissimmee, angular crushed stone such as 3/4" crushed rock or crusher-run is best because it compacts and resists washout. For walkways, decomposed granite or compactable crushed gravel works well; pea gravel is attractive but can shift and needs edging in our rainy climate.

Yes—stone does not rot or degrade from heat, but heavy tropical downpours can cause washout or migration if not installed correctly. Use geotextile fabric, a compacted base, edging, and proper grading to keep stone in place and protect drainage during storm events common in the Orlando-Kissimmee area.

Use this quick method: area x depth = cubic feet, divide by 27 for cubic yards, then multiply by roughly 1.4 tons per cubic yard. For example, at 2" depth: 1,000 x (2/12)=166.7 ft³ = 6.17 yd³ ≈ 8.6 tons; at 3" depth ≈ 13.0 tons. Order 5-10% extra to allow for compaction, grading, and waste.

Decorative stone can last many years to decades if installed well; typical maintenance includes occasional raking, pulling weeds, and topping up thin areas every 3-7 years depending on storm exposure. After heavy storms you may need to regrade or add material sooner, and using a weed barrier and edging reduces upkeep in Kissimmee’s warm, wet climate.

Mulch is cheaper up front and benefits plant roots by retaining moisture, but it needs annual or biannual replacement. Decorative stone costs more initially but lasts far longer and reduces repeat purchases; however, stone can increase soil temperature in hot Kissimmee summers, so for plant health you may prefer mulch or a combined approach (stone accents plus mulch near plants).

Many homeowners do, but rules vary: most HOAs require approval and some City or Osceola County rules address front yard landscaping and drainage. Before ordering, check your HOA covenants and local codes, design with proper slope and permeable surfaces to avoid runoff issues, and get written approval when required.

Basic spreading over a prepared surface usually runs about $2 to $5 per sq ft, while full installation with base preparation, compaction, edging, and grading can range from $5 to $12 per sq ft depending on scope. Pricing varies with access, material type (river rock vs crushed), and storm-proofing work required for the Kissimmee climate.

Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers around Kissimmee who stock regionally sourced colors and can deliver by dump truck. We recommend ordering a sample or small bag first (or add color notes at checkout) and checking minimum order sizes (our minimum is 3 tons) so you get the color and texture you want.

Decorative stone is usually less expensive and offers excellent drainage, making it a quick option for patios and pool areas, but it can shift underfoot and can get hot in Florida sun. Pavers provide a stable, durable, and barefoot-friendly surface but cost more and take longer to install; consider stone for informal, low-maintenance areas and pavers where stability and comfort are priorities.

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