Gravel in Duclay, FL

Costs vary by gravel type and supplier, but a tri-axle dump truck (about 10-14 tons) in the Duclay area typically runs between $300 and $1,000 delivered. The final price depends on material (plain crushed stone vs. decorative), local supply, and access for the truck. Hello Gravel shows transparent delivered pricing at checkout and has a 3-ton minimum order.

One ton of common crushed gravel is roughly 0.7 cubic yards and will cover about 116 sq ft at 2 inches depth, 77 sq ft at 3 inches, or 58 sq ft at 4 inches. Use these numbers to estimate how many tons you need for your project, then round up to the nearest whole ton. For small projects in Duclay, remember Hello Gravel’s 3-ton minimum.

Expect local delivered prices to range roughly $30 to $80 per ton depending on the material (basic crusher run on the lower end, decorative washed stone on the higher end). Prices fluctuate seasonally and by supplier, so check your zip code on Hello Gravel for up-to-date quotes. Additional services like next-day delivery or spreading may add to the cost.

Yes; suppliers serving Duclay commonly offer limestone-based crushed stone, crusher run, and shell or coquina blends depending on the local quarry. Decorative washed gravels and recycled crushed concrete are also often available. Due to regional sourcing, color and texture will reflect local geology, so expect some variation.

A simple estimate for a 20 ft long by 10 ft wide driveway at 3 inches depth uses about 2.6 tons, which rounds to the 3-ton minimum. With typical Duclay pricing of $30 to $80 per ton, material delivered would likely cost about $90 to $240, not including spreading labor or base preparation. Final cost depends on width, depth, material choice, and any hauling or installation fees.

If your driveway is 20 ft long by 10 ft wide and you want a 3-inch layer, you need about 2.6 tons, so plan to order the 3-ton minimum. For a different width or depth, use the formula: cubic yards = (square feet * depth in inches) / 324, then convert cubic yards to tons (about 1.4 tons per cubic yard). Round up to ensure coverage and allow for compaction and settling.

A 7x14 dump trailer usually carries about 3 to 4 cubic yards of material, depending on side height and whether you pile above the sides. That equates to roughly 4 to 6 tons for typical crushed stone. Exact capacity varies by trailer model and the specific gravel density.

You can put gravel over soil, but for best results in Duclay you should remove vegetation, grade and compact the subsoil, and consider a geotextile fabric to separate soil from stone. In many Florida soils with poor drainage or high water table, a compacted base layer of crusher run or larger base rock improves longevity and reduces washout. Drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion, but professional spreading and compaction are recommended for driveways and heavy-use areas.

Recycled crushed concrete and basic crusher run are typically the least expensive options in the Duclay region because they use locally available recycled or unwashed material. While cheaper, these materials may contain fines and sharp edges that compact well but may not suit decorative uses. Compare cost vs. performance for your project before choosing the cheapest option.

A layered approach works best: compacted larger base rock (3/4u0022 minus or crusher run) topped with a 3/4u0022 crushed stone or washed stone for a wearing surface. In Duclay, limestone-based or crusher-run materials are common and handle wet conditions well when properly graded and compacted. Ensure adequate drainage and a firm, compacted subbase to avoid potholes and washouts.

For 1,000 sq ft at 2 inches deep you need about 6.2 cubic yards, roughly 8.6 tons. At $30 to $80 per ton typical for Duclay, delivered material would be approximately $260 to $690. This estimate excludes site prep, compaction, and any spreading labor.

Hourly rates around $100 may be high for basic labor in Duclay but can be reasonable for specialized equipment operators or small crews with trucks and compactors. Many landscapers charge by the job or by the ton for gravel hauling and spreading, so get written estimates that list material, hauling, and labor separately. Ask for references and insurance proof for larger installs.

Hello Gravel can schedule delivery to Duclay using local haulers; deliveries are typically made by tri-axle dump trucks and you can request tailgate spreading at checkout. Tailgate spreading is performed at the driver's discretion for safety reasons and is not guaranteed. For guaranteed spreading or grading, hire a local contractor after delivery.
