Using a common conversion (1 cubic yard ≈ 1.4 tons), 1 ton of gravel covers about 115 sq ft at 2" depth and about 77 sq ft at 3" depth. For 1,000 sq ft you would need about 8.7 tons (≈6.2 yd3) at 2" and about 13.0 tons (≈9.3 yd3) at 3". These are estimates; actual amounts vary with stone type and compaction, so allow a small overage.

A 20x20 (400 sq ft) area at 2" requires about 3.5 tons of gravel; at common delivered rates of $40–$80 per ton expect material costs around $140–$280, plus any delivery fee. A 20 ft wide driveway cost depends on length (for example, a 20x50 ft driveway = 1,000 sq ft needs ≈8.7 tons at 2"); multiply tons by your local per-ton price and factor in delivery and optional services. Hello Gravel usually has a 3-ton minimum and standard delivery is 2+ business days; request a zip-code quote for a precise delivered price.

In North Fort Myers' sandy, wet-prone soils, 2" of loose gravel is usually too thin for a driveway subject to regular vehicle traffic. For driveways we recommend a compacted base of crushed stone or stabilized aggregate (3–4" subbase) plus a 2–3" wearing surface depending on traffic; heavier use often needs 3" or more on top of a firm base. Local climate and drainage make a proper base and edge restraint particularly important here.

For most homeowners in North Fort Myers, delivered gravel is the easiest and often most cost-effective option for loads of 3 tons or more because it avoids rental fees, multiple trips, and heavy labor. For very small amounts, picking up in a pickup or renting a small dump trailer can be cheaper if you have the time and equipment; factor in truck rental, fuel, and loading time. Compare total costs and convenience — Hello Gravel can quote delivered pricing so you can compare apples to apples.

A 10 cubic yard order will cover about 1,620 sq ft at 2" depth and about 1,080 sq ft at 3" depth. In weight terms, a 10 yd3 pile is roughly 14 tons using a 1.4 tons/yd3 conversion, though actual weight varies by material. Always check local compaction and grading needs and order a small extra amount to allow for settling and grading.

A 7x14 dump trailer typically carries around 3 to 5 cubic yards of loose material depending on side height and load limits. Renting a trailer can be cost-effective for small quick jobs, but for anything near Hello Gravel's 3-ton minimum or larger, delivered gravel is usually cheaper and far more convenient due to single-drop unloading. Factor in rental cost, fuel, labor, and the number of trips when comparing options.

Common driveway choices here are crushed limestone (#57 or similar), crushed shell blends, and compactable base mixes; crushed limestone is popular for its durability and compaction. Decorative gravels and shells cost more per ton and may require more maintenance in rainy seasons; expect varying prices with basic crushed stone toward the lower end of the range and decorative or washed gravels at the higher end. Regional shortages or local quarry material can also affect price and appearance.

Gravel driveways in this region typically need light maintenance yearly (raking, filling washouts) and a top-up every 2–5 years depending on traffic, storms, and drainage. High-traffic driveways or those exposed to heavy rainfall may need re-graveling more often; a typical resurfacing application is adding 1–2 inches of fresh gravel. Regular grading and maintaining edges and drainage will extend life and reduce material needs.

Yes — Hello Gravel can provide per-ton and per-yard delivered estimates based on your zip code and material choice; typical local ranges are about $40–$80 per ton depending on type.
