Gravel in Casselberry, FL

Costs depend on depth and material. For 1,000 sq ft at 2 inches you’ll need roughly 8–10 tons; at 3 inches about 12–15 tons. Local Florida prices for basic gravel typically run in a wide range, so expect material plus delivery to total roughly $400–$1,200 depending on gravel type, supplier, and delivery; request a quote for an exact price.

On average, 1 ton of typical crushed gravel yields about 100–125 sq ft at a 2-inch depth, 65–85 sq ft at 3 inches, and about 30–40 sq ft at 6 inches. Coverage varies by stone size, compaction, and moisture. Use these ranges when calculating material needs and add 5–10% for waste and compaction.

Prices vary by type ( crushed stone, pea gravel, decorative) and by region. As a ballpark, expect roughly $25–$60 per ton for common base gravel and $35–$100+ per ton for decorative or specialty mixes; per cubic yard prices follow a similar pattern.

A full tri-axle dump truck load (material plus delivery) typically depends on load size (10–14 cubic yards) and material type. Rough delivered cost ranges might be $500–$1,500 for a full load of common gravel, but local factors like road access, exact material, and tipping location affect price. Remember Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum and will provide a specific delivered price for your zip code.

Two inches is usually only suitable as a thin surface or topcoat over a well-prepared base; it is not recommended as the sole thickness for a driveway that will see vehicle traffic. In Casselberry’s wet, Florida climate, a 3–4 inch compacted base over a compacted subgrade (or a 4–6 inch base for heavy vehicles) gives better drainage and longevity. Consider adding a compacted stone base and geotextile fabric for stability in sandy or wet areas.

Material-only estimates depend on depth: at 2 inches you need about 3–4 tons, at 3 inches about 5–6 tons, and at 4 inches about 6–8 tons. With typical local material prices and delivery, expect supply costs roughly $150–$800 depending on depth and gravel type.

A common tri-axle dump truck carries about 10–14 cubic yards, which for gravel equates to roughly 12–18 tons depending on moisture and stone density. At 2 inches depth that is roughly enough to cover 1,200–2,250 sq ft; at 3 inches expect 800–1,350 sq ft. Actual loads vary by truck type and local weight restrictions, so confirm with the hauler when booking.

A well-built gravel driveway in West Florida can last 7–15 years before needing major replenishment, but it requires periodic maintenance such as grading, adding fresh stone, and addressing washouts after heavy rains. Annual upkeep costs are typically modest—often $50–$300 per year for minor grading and occasional top-ups; larger refreshes every few years cost more depending on tonnage. Good drainage and proper base preparation reduce long-term maintenance needs.

Cheapest option depends on your situation. For small amounts, pickup may be cheapest if you have a truck; for most homeowners ordering several tons, direct dump truck delivery through a marketplace like Hello Gravel is usually most cost-effective because it bundles material and hauling. Hiring a contractor adds labor and markup, so it is typically more expensive than self-managing material delivery.

For driveways in Casselberry, crushed limestone or crushed stone (3/4-inch or “¾u0022 minus”) is commonly recommended for a durable, compacted surface; pea gravel works for lighter traffic but can shift more. Decorative gravels and washed pea stone cost more per ton and may need thicker layers to perform well. Choose material based on planned use, appearance, and budget—Hello Gravel can help match local material options to your project.
