For a 20-foot-wide driveway per 100 feet of length: 2u0022 depth needs about 12.4 cubic yards (about 16 tons), 3u0022 needs about 18.5 cubic yards (about 24 tons), and 4u0022 needs about 24.7 cubic yards (about 32 tons). For other lengths, scale linearly: divide your driveway area by 2000 sq ft (the 20x100 example) then multiply these amounts. Densities vary, so add 5-10% extra to allow for compaction and grading.

A typical tri-axle load (about 10-14 tons, average ~12 tons) yields roughly 9 to 11 cubic yards. That will cover approximately 70-80 feet of a 20-foot-wide driveway at 2u0022 depth, about 45-55 feet at 3u0022 depth, and about 35-40 feet at 4u0022 depth. Exact coverage depends on truck load, material density, and compaction.

For large amounts, bulk delivery from a supplier is usually cheapest per ton because it avoids multiple trips and time costs. Picking up loose material can save delivery fees but requires a suitable truck and time, and small purchases from landscapers are often pricier per ton. Contractors may get better wholesale pricing but will add labor costs; compare per-ton price plus delivery to decide which is cheapest for your project.

A $100 per hour rate can be fair for a small crew doing grading or spreading if that rate is for the crew (not per individual). Labor rates vary with crew size, experience, and job complexity; some crews charge flat rates per project instead of hourly.

Local quarries, landscape supply yards, and recycling or reclamation yards near Fort King District often sell bulk gravel and delivery is commonly available. Hello Gravel can connect you with nearby trusted suppliers and schedule dump-truck delivery; check your zip code on our site for local availability and quotes. For low-cost options, ask suppliers about reclaimed or bank-run material and confirm delivery and placement details.

In Fort King District’s sandy, wet-prone climate, compactable materials like crusher-run (3/4u0022 minus) or crushed limestone provide a stable base that inhibits weed growth and resists washout when properly graded. For a low-maintenance surface, use a compactable base, a geotextile fabric underneath for weed control and separation, then a decorative top layer (pea gravel or 3/8u0022 crushed) for appearance. Good edge restraints and proper drainage are essential in Florida to keep gravel from spreading and weeds from taking hold.

Reclamation yards and municipal projects sometimes sell surplus or recycled aggregate at reduced prices, and some local landscape suppliers offer reclaimed material seasonally. Availability changes frequently, so call local yards, state DOT stockpile locations, or ask Hello Gravel to check nearby suppliers for reclaimed options. Always inspect reclaimed material before purchase for contaminants or inconsistent sizing.
