For Palmetto's clay soils and seasonal rain, 3/4" crushed stone or crusher-run (a mix of crushed stone and stone dust) are the most common choices because they lock together and compact well. Pea gravel is decorative but shifts more and usually needs edging and a strong base if used for a driveway.

A common 2-car driveway (about 20 ft by 40 ft) filled to 3 inches needs roughly 7.5 cubic yards, which is about 10 to 11 tons of gravel. If you want a 4-inch depth for better durability, plan on roughly 13 to 14 tons, and add 5-10% extra to allow for compaction and clean-up.

Crushed stone binds and locks together, so it resists rutting and migration on clay and in heavy rain better than pea gravel. Pea gravel drains well but tends to float and migrate during storms; if used in Palmetto, it needs strong edging, a compacted base, and more frequent top-ups.

Installation costs vary with site prep, drainage work, and driveway length, but a typical professional install for a 20x40 driveway in the Palmetto area often falls between $2,000 and $6,000. Harder jobs with grading, culvert work, or heavy clay may be toward the higher end; get local quotes for precise estimates.

A geotextile fabric can reduce weeds and keep base materials from mixing with native clay, but it is not a permanent weed solution. In Palmetto's humid climate you should pair fabric with proper base preparation, edging, and a 3- to 4-inch compacted gravel layer for best results.

For perimeter drainage in Palmetto, use a clean, free-draining stone such as #57 or 3/4" washed gravel placed over filter fabric and, if needed, around a perforated drainpipe. Because local clay holds water, slope the grade away from foundations and combine gravel drains with a proper downspout and grading plan.

Expect to regrade and add material every 2 to 5 years depending on traffic and storms; common maintenance is adding 1 to 3 tons of gravel, typically costing $40 to $200 for materials and modest delivery. More extensive repairs like full regrading, new base, or drainage fixes are less frequent but are the main drivers of larger costs.

Common sizes around Palmetto include #57 (3/4") for driveways and general drainage, pea gravel (1/8"-3/8") for decorative walkways, and crusher-run (mixed stone and fines) for compacted driveways and bases. Stone dust or screenings are used to lock surfaces together when a firmer finish is desired.

The minimum order size is 3 tons.
