Gravel in Bellair-Meadowbrook Terrace, FL

A typical tri-axle dump truck in this Florida region carries about 10-12 cubic yards (roughly 12-16 tons depending on the material). Cost varies by material and distance but expect a wide range, roughly $400 to $1,200 for common gravels delivered locally. Exact price depends on gravel type (crushed stone, river rock, or shell mixes), delivery access, and seasonal demand, so request a quote for your zip code.

Prices in the Florida region commonly range from about $30 to $100 per ton depending on the material and finish, with decorative gravels on the higher end.

Costs depend on width and desired depth, but a simple estimate helps. For a 20 ft long by 10 ft wide driveway at a 4-inch depth you need about 2.5 cubic yards (roughly 3.5 tons), so material alone could run about $140 to $350 using typical local rates. Remember Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum and delivery fees or next-day charges may apply, so get a quote to see the final price for your address.

Coverage depends on depth: at a 2-inch top dressing 20 tons covers about 2,300 sq ft; at 4 inches (common driveway base) it covers roughly 1,150 sq ft; and at 6 inches it covers about 770 sq ft. These numbers use typical gravel densities for the Florida region; local material type and compaction can change coverage slightly. If you share your driveway dimensions we can calculate a more exact amount.

Buying bulk by the ton from a local supplier is usually cheapest, because retail bags carry a big markup. Use Hello Gravel to compare local suppliers and combine material and delivery to meet our 3-ton minimum to avoid extra trips; choose base-grade or screenings rather than decorative stone for lower cost. If you have pickup capability and a suitable truck, collecting direct from a nearby quarry can also save money but check local availability and hauling costs.

In the Bellair-Meadowbrook Terrace area, $100 per hour can be reasonable for skilled landscape contractors doing small jobs that require equipment, hauling coordination, or detailed grading. For simple spreading tasks some crews charge by the yard or by the job instead, which can be more cost-effective than an hourly rate. Always get written estimates that show labor, hauling, and any site prep so you can compare apples to apples.

One cubic yard equals 27 cubic feet and will cover about 162 sq ft at 2 inches deep, 81 sq ft at 4 inches, and 54 sq ft at 6 inches. Weight per cubic yard varies by material (generally 1.2 to 1.6 tons), so convert to tons when ordering to match supplier pricing. Use these rules of thumb for quick estimates, then get a supplier quote to account for local material density and compaction.

A common tri-axle dump truck used for residential deliveries carries roughly 10-16 tons (about 8-12 cubic yards) depending on the material.
