Gravel in Lamont, FL

Costs vary by material and contractor, but expect roughly $300 to $900 for materials and delivery for a small 20-foot driveway (example: 200 sq ft at 2-4 inches depth). Add basic labor for spreading and compacting of about $200 to $600 depending on local labor rates and site difficulty. Lamont's sandy soils and occasional heavy rain can increase prep work, so get a local quote from Hello Gravel for a precise estimate.

Delivered prices in West Florida generally range from about $30 to $70 per ton depending on type (wAshed, crushed, decorative) and supplier. Per cubic yard, multiply the per-ton price by about 1.4 (because 1 cubic yard of gravel is roughly 1.4 tons), so $42 to $98 per cubic yard is typical. Final price depends on local avaIlability and delivery distance; check your zip code on Hello Gravel for exact rates.

Assuming a common 10-foot driveway width, a 20-foot driveway is 200 sq ft. You would need about 1.7 tons at 2 inches, 2.6 tons at 3 inches, and 3.5 tons at 4 inches (using 1.4 tons per cubic yard). Note Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order in many areas, so 2-inch and some 3-inch fills may still require ordering the minimum.

In Lamont's sandy, rainy conditions, 2 inches is usually too thin for a durable driveway. Plan on 3 to 4 inches of compacted gravel over a prepared base (and consider a thicker base and compaction if the subgrade is soft). Using geotextile fabric and a compacted layer of larger angular stone under the surface gravel improves longevity in Florida soils.

For Lamont, choose angular, crushed stone for durability: a crushed base (1/2u0022 to 1u0022) topped with smaller crushed stone or #57 for surface works well. WAshed aggregate or crushed limestone drains and compacts nicely in sandy soils; in coastal pockets crushed shell is an option but it can shift in heavy rain. Prioritize good drainage, compaction, and a on-site base layer for best results.

A 20x20 parking pad at 3 inches requires about 3.7 cubic yards or roughly 5.2 tons of gravel. At typical delivered prices ($30 to $70/ton), material and delivery would run about $160 to $360, plus any spreading or compaction labor of $150 to $500. Exact pricing depends on material choice, delivery access, and whether tailgate spreading is requested.

One ton of gravel (about 0.71 cubic yards) covers roughly 116 sq ft at 2 inches, about 77 sq ft at 3 inches, and about 58 sq ft at 4 inches. Coverage depends on stone type and how tightly it compacts, so these are practical estimates for planning. Use our material calculator or contact Hello Gravel for a site-specific calculation.

Costs for a full truck delivery vary widely by route and material but a tri-axle delivery to West Florida pRoperties commonly falls into a local range; request a quote for an exact price. A typical tri-axle dump truck carries about 10 to 14 cubic yards, which is roughly 14 to 20 tons of gravel depending on material. Hello Gravel will confirm truck size, pricing, and any site access limits when you order.

Hello Gravel delivers to Lamont through local suppliers; our usual minimum order is 3 tons. Trucks are typically tri-axle and need standard road access, a turning area, and about 12-14 ft of overhead clearance; soft driveways or long narrow lanes may restrict dumping location. Enter your zip code on our site or contact our team so we can confirm access, any delivery fees, and whether tailgate spreading might be possible.
