Use the formula: cubic yards = (area in sq ft * depth in inches) / 324. For a 10x10 area (100 sq ft): 2u0022 ≈ 0.62 cu yd (≈0.8 tons), 3u0022 ≈ 0.93 cu yd (≈1.2 tons), 4u0022 ≈ 1.23 cu yd (≈1.6 tons). For a 20x20 area (400 sq ft): 2u0022 ≈ 2.47 cu yd (≈3.2 tons), 3u0022 ≈ 3.70 cu yd (≈4.8 tons), 4u0022 ≈ 4.94 cu yd (≈6.4 tons). For a 20 ft long single-car driveway (10 ft wide = 200 sq ft): 2u0022 ≈ 1.23 cu yd (≈1.6 tons), 3u0022 ≈ 1.85 cu yd (≈2.4 tons), 4u0022 ≈ 2.47 cu yd (≈3.2 tons). Note: we use ~1.3 tons per cubic yard as an average; round up and remember Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order in many areas.

A typical tri-axle dump truck carries roughly 10–14 tons of gravel; total delivered cost often falls in the $400 to $1,200 range depending on material type, seasonal demand, and site access. Heavy or decorative stone and next-day delivery push costs toward the higher end. Request a Hello Gravel quote for a precise delivered price for your address.

Cheapest options are usually recycled asphalt and crusher run (road base), followed by standard crushed stone; pea gravel and decorative washed stone cost more. After delivery, recycled or crusher-run materials can be roughly 10% to 30% less expensive than clean decorative stone, though exact savings depend on local supply. Consider long-term performance: crusher run compacts well and often reduces frequency of top-ups compared with loose pea gravel.

In Jacksonville’s sandy, sometimes clay-patch soils and rainy climate, a prepared base is strongly recommended for driveways: remove vegetation, add 4–6u0022 of compacted crusher run or road base, and use edge restraints. A geotextile fabric helps prevent mixing of soil and stone and improves drainage, though for small decorative paths homeowners sometimes place gravel over a fabric and compacted sand. Proper base preparation reduces rutting and washout during heavy Florida rains.

A full-size pickup can often carry about 1 ton safely but hauling gravel risks overloading the truck bed and suspension if you exceed the vehicle’s rated payload. A 7x14 dump trailer typically holds multiple cubic yards and can carry several tons depending on trailer rating; check the trailer’s payload limit before loading. For anything over 1–2 tons, awkward drop locations, or tight access, professional dump-truck delivery through Hello Gravel is the safer and more convenient option.

For 1,000 sq ft: 2u0022 depth ≈ 6.17 cu yd (≈8 tons), 3u0022 ≈ 9.26 cu yd (≈12 tons), 4u0022 ≈ 12.35 cu yd (≈16 tons). Using a typical delivered price range of $35–$80 per ton, total delivered cost estimates are: 2u0022 ≈ $280–$640, 3u0022 ≈ $420–$960, 4u0022 ≈ $560–$1,280. These are estimates; request a Hello Gravel quote for exact pricing and any delivery fees for your Jacksonville address.

Common lower-cost alternatives include recycled asphalt, crusher run (aggregate base), and salvaged crushed concrete. These materials are often 10%–30% cheaper than clean decorative stone once supply and delivery are included, and they compact well for driveways. Talk to Hello Gravel about local availability—regional suppliers and seasonal inventory affect both price and suitability for your project.

A well-built gravel driveway in Jacksonville can perform for many years but requires periodic maintenance: regrading after heavy rain, adding fresh top material every 1–5 years, and occasional pothole repair. Expect to add a thin top-up (1–2 inches) every 1–3 years depending on traffic and storm exposure; that drives delivery frequency and cost over time. Choosing a compacting base material like crusher run reduces how often you need to replenish the surface compared with loose decorative gravel.

Buying in bulk (truckload) and scheduling standard delivery is usually the cheapest route per ton. Picking up directly from a local quarry can save money if you have a suitable truck and the time, but for most homeowners bulk delivery from a local supplier is simpler and often comparable in price once you factor hauling. Hello Gravel connects you with negotiated local suppliers, shows delivered pricing for your ZIP code, and handles scheduling so you get bulk rates without the logistics headache.
