Gravel in College Park, FL

A standard tri-axle dump truck in the College Park area typically carries about 10-14 tons of gravel. Material and delivery prices vary by type (crushed limestone, pea gravel, river rock) and supplier, so a full truckload commonly ranges from about $400 to $1,200. Exact pricing depends on the gravel type, local availability, and whether you need next-day delivery or special placement services—get a quote for an accurate number.

Coverage depends on gravel type and desired depth, but using a common conversion (1 cubic yard ≈ 1.4 tons): one ton of gravel covers about 232 sq ft at 1u0022 depth, about 116 sq ft at 2u0022 depth, and about 77 sq ft at 3u0022 depth. Regional variations in stone size and compaction can change these numbers slightly, so use these as planning estimates. For final quantities, use a material calculator or contact us for help.

Needed volume depends on depth: for 1,000 sq ft at 2u0022 depth you need roughly 12.3 cubic yards (about 17.2 tons); at 3u0022 depth you need about 18.5 cubic yards (about 26 tons). Local suppliers in College Park may round to truckloads or a minimum order (Hello Gravel minimum is 3 tons), so order a little extra to allow for compaction and grading. Contact us with your project dimensions and preferred depth for a tailored estimate.

Prices vary by material and season, but a cubic yard of common gravel in the College Park/Orlando area typically falls in the range of about $25 to $80 per cubic yard. Specialty stones (decorative colored gravel or river rock) are toward the higher end, while basic crushed limestone is toward the lower end. For firm pricing and delivery fees, request a quote for your zip code and material choice.

Assuming a single-car driveway 20 ft long by 10 ft wide at a 3u0022 top layer, you need about 1.85 cubic yards (roughly 2.6 tons) of gravel—but Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum so plan accordingly. Material costs for that amount are typically $100 to $240, but delivery, base preparation, and additional base layers can raise the total. For full driveway replacement with a proper base, expect higher quantities and costs; get a site-specific quote to include hauling and any spreading.

Volume depends on side height: a 7x14 bed with 12u0022 sides holds about 98 cu ft (3.6 cubic yards), while with 24u0022 sides it holds about 196 cu ft (7.3 cubic yards). In tons, that is roughly 5 to 10 tons of typical gravel (using ~1.4 tons per cubic yard), though the trailer's payload limit may be lower than the geometric capacity. Always check your trailer weight rating and local road limits before loading.

For driveways in College Park, a compactable 3/4u0022 crushed stone or crushed limestone base topped with 3/8u0022 stone or crusher-run is common because it locks together and drains well. For walkways and patios, pea gravel (3/8u0022) or decorative river rock provides a finished look but may shift in heavy rain, so edging and a compacted base help. Because Central Florida gets heavy summer rains, pick materials that drain well and talk to suppliers about local mixes that perform here.

Hello Gravel delivers to College Park via local dump truck fleets with a standard lead time of 2+ business days and a next-day option if you order before noon CST (additional fee may apply). Drivers may perform tailgate spreading at their discretion if you request it at checkout, but spreading is not guaranteed and depends on site conditions and safety. Minimum orders are 3 tons and delivery logistics (driveway access, overhead lines) can affect placement, so include site notes when ordering.

Materials are regionally sourced, so gravel color, texture, and size reflect local geology in the College Park area and can vary from photos. Natural stone has inherent variation, and suppliers may deliver different batches over time, especially after rain or seasonal quarry changes. If you have a strict color or size preference, add details to Order Notes and request a supplier sample or photo before delivery.
