Gravel in Cocoa Beach, FL

A full tri-axle dump truck to Cocoa Beach typically carries about 10-12 cubic yards (roughly 14-17 tons, depending on material). Delivered price varies by material, supplier, and distance but commonly falls between $400 and $1,200 for a full load in West Florida; contact us for an exact quote. Our minimum order is 3 tons, and delivery timing depends on local supplier schedules.

Prices vary with material and location, but typical West Florida ranges are: crushed limestone or crush-and-run $25-$45 per ton, #57 or washed stone $30-$50 per ton, pea gravel $35-$65 per ton, and screenings/stone dust $20-$40 per ton. Multiply tons by about 1.3 to convert to cubic yards (or use supplier-provided cubic yard pricing) since material density varies by type and moisture content.

Volume for 1,000 sq ft: 2u0022 = about 6.2 cubic yards (≈8.6 tons), 3u0022 = about 9.3 cubic yards (≈13.0 tons), 4u0022 = about 12.3 cubic yards (≈17.3 tons). Using a typical West Florida price range of $30-$60 per ton, material cost would be roughly $260-$520 for 2u0022, $390-$780 for 3u0022, and $520-$1,040 for 4u0022, plus delivery and any spreading/compaction charges.

A 20x20 driveway (400 sq ft) at 3u0022 depth needs about 3.7 cubic yards (≈5.2 tons) and at 4u0022 about 4.9 cubic yards (≈6.9 tons). Material plus delivery for the gravel is often $150-$450 depending on type; professional base prep (grading, compaction, and a crushed-stone base) can add $500-$1,500 depending on site condition. DIY installation will lower labor cost but may still require renting equipment for proper compaction.

In Cocoa Beach's sandy, coastal soils, 2 inches of gravel is usually too thin for a driveway and will rut and shift. We recommend a compacted crushed-stone base of 4-6 inches under a 2-3 inch wearing layer, or a 3-4 inch compacted surface for light-use driveways, to improve stability and drainage. Using angular crushed material and geotextile fabric can greatly reduce movement in sandy conditions.

Yes—Hello Gravel supports small loads; our minimum order is 3 tons. Small-load deliveries are common, but delivery charges depend on supplier distance, truck access, and local routing; small-load delivery fees often range from $0 to $150 in West Florida. Enter your zip code at checkout or contact our team for an exact small-load price and delivery window.

The least expensive local options are usually crusher run (crush-and-run), screenings, or recycled concrete, and sometimes local shell material in coastal areas. These work well as a compactable base or for utility driveways and drainage but may not be ideal for decorative surfaces or high-traffic driveways where washed or angular stone performs better. Consider using cheaper material as a base layer with a finished surface of washed or decorative gravel if appearance matters.

Hello Gravel arranges delivery only; we do not provide full installation services. For a DIY install you pay material plus delivery (often the lowest cost), though you may need to rent compactors and tools. Professional installation in Cocoa Beach for grading, base, spreading, and compaction commonly adds several hundred to a few thousand dollars depending on project size and site prep needs, so get local quotes for accurate pricing.

A 7x14 dump trailer capacity varies by side height but commonly holds about 3-7 cubic yards; a standard tri-axle dump truck typically carries about 10-12 cubic yards. To calculate loads: measure area x depth to get cubic yards (area in sq ft x depth in ft ÷ 27), then divide total cubic yards by the vehicle capacity to find the number of loads needed and round up to allow for compaction and waste.

Yes — Cocoa Beach and Brevard County may have rules about driveway tie-ins, curb cuts, and stormwater that affect material choices and project scope, so check local building or zoning offices before starting. Coastal considerations include using angular crushed stone for stability, a deeper compacted base in sandy soils, geotextile fabric to prevent migration, and corrosion-resistant edging near salt exposure; these measures increase material and prep costs but improve longevity. Also consider hurricane season timing and erosion control when planning deliveries and installation.
