How much does a gravel or shell rock driveway cost?
It depends on the width, how low the ground sits and the surface you pick. Build it above the way we build it, fill if it is low, then base, then surface, and you get one ballpark for the whole job: rock, delivery and spreading. Your final price comes after we see photos, and we send it within 24 hours.

How do you build a gravel driveway that lasts in Florida?
You build it in layers and pack every one. Sandy Florida ground and summer rain wash out a driveway that was just dumped and raked. Ours go in the same order every time.
- 1
Fill, only if the driveway is low
If the ground sits low and holds water, we bring it up first so water runs off instead of pooling. If your driveway is already high enough, we skip this step.
- 2
Four inches of packed base
We spread base rock and grade it with a crown, a slight rise down the middle, so rain drains to the sides. Then we wet it and compact it until it is firm.
- 3
The surface you picked
Gravel, shell rock, asphalt millings or pea rock goes on top. We spread it even, shape the edges and compact it again. Then we clean up.
Ballpark time: a typical driveway takes about one to two days. A small repair is usually under a day. Weather and access change that.
Can you repair potholes and washouts in a gravel driveway?
Yes. Driveway repair is a big part of what we do. We regrade so water runs off, fill the holes with matching rock, compact it and add fresh rock on top where it has thinned out.
A washout usually means water has nowhere to go. Fixing that comes first, or the next big rain brings it right back. If a culvert or entrance is part of the problem, we handle that too. See yard grading and drainage and fill dirt for the low spots.
Is a driveway priced by the job?
Yes. You get one price for the whole job: the rock, delivery, spreading, grading and packing, with one crew. Text photos and the length and width, and we confirm the price within 24 hours.
We serve Jupiter, Jupiter Farms and northern Palm Beach County. Check the service areas for your town, or see our Bobcat service and pads and post holes.
How much does a new driveway cost?
Driveways are priced by the job. Ballpark, that is $1,300 to $1,575 for a typical 12 by 100 foot driveway, with an asphalt millings top over 4 inches of base rock. Material, thickness and how much base work the ground needs move that number. Use the builder on this page for a ballpark price for the whole job, then text photos and we confirm the price within 24 hours.
How long does it take to build a driveway?
A typical driveway takes about one to two days. That is a ballpark. Fill, longer runs, rain and tight access can add time. Small repairs are usually under a day.
Do you put base under the gravel or shell rock?
Yes. We put down about 4 inches of base rock, grade it with a crown so water runs off, and compact it before the surface goes on. If the ground is low, we fill it first.
What is the best rock for a driveway in Florida?
Packed base rock under a shell rock top is the strongest pick for most Florida driveways. Asphalt millings are the lower-cost choice and pack down hard. 57 rock drains best and pea rock gives a smooth finished look.
Can you fix potholes and washouts in my driveway?
Yes. We regrade so water runs off, fill the holes with matching rock, compact it and top it up where it has thinned out. Text photos for a price. Most repairs take less than a day.
Do you warranty your driveways?
Yes. Every driveway we build carries a 2-year warranty, and we are insured.

Yes. We are based in Jupiter Farms and work in Jupiter and northern Palm Beach County, and also take jobs in Martin County and farther south. Call 561-262-4700 or text photos to confirm your address.
