Gravel in Cheval, FL

In the Florida region a typical tri-axle dump truck carries about 10 to 14 cubic yards of loose gravel, which translates roughly to 14 to 20 tons depending on the material density. Exact capacity varies by truck and gravel type; Hello Gravel lists a 3-ton minimum order for deliveries.

For 1,000 sq ft you will need about 6.2 cubic yards (≈8.7 tons) at 2 inches, 9.3 cubic yards (≈13.0 tons) at 3 inches, and 12.3 cubic yards (≈17.3 tons) at 4 inches. These figures use a common conversion (1 cu yd ≈ 1.4 tons) so actual tonnage can vary by gravel type and moisture.

Delivered prices vary by material, supplier, and season, but gravel in the Florida region typically runs about $30 to $65 per ton delivered. For a rough estimate multiply the tons needed by that range and check your zip code on Hello Gravel for exact pricing and available next-day options.

Using a delivered price range of $30 to $65 per ton, covering 1,000 sq ft costs roughly: 2u0022 depth (≈8.7 tons) = $260 to $565; 3u0022 depth (≈13.0 tons) = $390 to $845; 4u0022 depth (≈17.3 tons) = $520 to $1,125. These are estimates; contact Hello Gravel and check your zip code for an exact quote.
