Gravel in Lake Worth, FL

Delivered gravel prices in Lake Worth vary by material, load size, and distance, but ballpark ranges are about $35 to $75 per cubic yard or $30 to $65 per ton for common materials (pea gravel, 3/4u0022 crushed, crusher run). Specialty colors or long hauls can push prices higher. For an exact delivered price get a quote for your zip code and project size.

A typical tri-axle dump truck carries roughly 10 to 13 cubic yards (about 12 to 18 tons depending on material). Total cost for a single truck delivery to a Lake Worth residence usually ranges from about $300 to $900 depending on material price, distance, and whether tailgate spreading is requested. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum and will provide delivery pricing during checkout.

A 12 ft x 100 ft driveway is 1,200 sq ft. At 1u0022, 2u0022, and 3u0022 depths you need approximately 3.7, 7.4, and 11.1 cubic yards respectively. Using a rule of thumb of about 1.4 tons per cubic yard, that converts to roughly 5.2, 10.4, and 15.5 tons.

Installed costs depend on width and base work. A reasonable range for installed gravel (including basic grading and a compacted base) is about $1.50 to $3.50 per sq ft; for a 12 ft wide, 500 ft long driveway (6,000 sq ft) that equates to roughly $9,000 to $21,000. Complex base work, drainage, permits, or premium stone will increase that price.

Covering 1,000 sq ft requires about 3.1 cu yd at 1u0022, 6.2 cu yd at 2u0022, and 9.3 cu yd at 3u0022. With delivered material prices and typical delivery fees, expect total project costs in the approximate ranges of $200–$600 for 1u0022, $350–$1,100 for 2u0022, and $500–$1,700 for 3u0022 depths. These ranges depend on stone type, haul distance, and any requested spreading services.

For Lake Worth’s sandy soils and frequent heavy rain, crushed (angular) stone is generally more suitable for driveways because it locks together and compacts better, reducing rutting and wAshout. Natural round river gravel drains well but tends to migrate and needs more frequent replenishing. Crushed stone is often slightly more expensive up front but typically lasts longer with less maintenance.

Expect to grade and re-level gravel after major storms or every 6–18 months, and to add a fresh top layer every 1–3 years depending on traffic. Typical maintenance costs include occasional hauling and spreader labor or new material, often ranging from a few hundred to a couple thousand dollars over several years for a typical residential driveway. Weed control, edging, and drainage fixes are additional periodic expenses.

Hello Gravel’s minimum order is 3 tons. Standard delivery generally takes 2+ business days with many areas eligible for free delivery; next‑day delivery is avaIlable for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Same‑day delivery can sometimes be arranged depending on supplier and truck avaIlability but is not guaranteed.

Lake Worth neighborhoods and many HOAs often have rules about driveway materials and curb appearance. City code typically governs permits and drainage; HOAs may require an architectural review or approval before changing driveway surfaces. Before ordering, check with Lake Worth city planning and your HOA for any permit, design, or review fees and follow their submission steps.

Common recommendations are: crusher run or road base for the compacted base, 3/4u0022 crushed stone or #57 for a stable driving surface, and 3/8u0022–1/2u0022 pea gravel for low‑traffic walkways. Angular crushed stone compacts and lasts longer but can cost slightly more than natural rounded gravel, which is better for decorative uses but needs more frequent top-ups. Choosing the right mix (base + surface) improves drainage and reduces long‑term costs.
