Gravel in Lauderdale-By-The-Sea, FL

A single dump-truck delivery (typical tri-axle) to Lauderdale-By-The-Sea usually delivers about 10 to 16 tons of gravel, and material plus delivery typically ranges from about $350 to $1,000 depending on the gravel type. Coastal delivery can be a bit pricier because of local demand, material choice (pea gravel, crushed stone, shell), and any access complications. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order; exact pricing is shown at checkout based on your zip code and selected material.

One ton of typical crushed gravel will cover roughly 100 to 120 square feet at a 2-inch depth, about 65 to 80 square feet at a 3-inch depth, and about 50 to 60 square feet at a 4-inch depth. Coverage varies with the type and density of the gravel (rounded pea gravel is lighter than dense crushed stone) and how much it settles after spreading. Use our material calculator or contact our team for a precise estimate for your project.

In Florida, gravel typically costs about $25 to $60 per ton delivered, depending on type (base gravel, crushed rock, pea gravel, decorative stone) and region. In Lauderdale-By-The-Sea and other coastal Broward County locations you may see prices toward the higher end of that range because of local sourcing, higher demand, and extra handling for tight beachside access. Hello Gravel shows transparent pricing for your zip code at checkout and displays delivery options before you pay.

Cost depends on width and depth; for example, a 20-foot by 10-foot driveway (200 sq ft) at a 3-inch depth needs about 1.8 cubic yards (roughly 2.5 to 3 tons), which will typically cost $90 to $180 for material plus delivery and any fees. If your 20-foot driveway is longer or wider (for example 20 by 20 feet), multiply area and recalculate depth; many local jobs also need fabric or edging which adds cost. Because Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum, small driveways often start at that minimum order size and price shown at checkout.

A 7x14 trailer’s theoretical volume depends on side height: 1 foot of fill is about 3.6 cubic yards, 2-foot sides about 7.3 cubic yards, and 3-foot sides about 10.9 cubic yards. In practice for heavy gravel you’ll be limited by the trailer’s weight capacity and legal road limits, so most 7x14 trailers safely carry about 4 to 6 cubic yards of dense gravel. Always check your trailer’s GVWR and factor gravel weight (roughly 1.2 to 1.6 tons per cubic yard) before loading.

For coastal properties near Lauderdale-By-The-Sea choose materials that drain well and resist salt exposure, such as washed crushed stone or stabilised crushed shell mixes designed for Florida beaches. Avoid materials that trap water or break down quickly in the sun and salt; adding a geotextile fabric and proper base layer improves drainage and reduces migration into sand. If you want a decorative look, ask about local color options and how each material handles coastal weather.

Yes, Hello Gravel works with local suppliers and contracted dump truck fleets, but access limitations can affect truck size and drop location. Note that tri-axle dump trucks are typical; if your property has narrow streets, low-hanging wires, or limited turnaround space, add delivery notes at checkout and our team will confirm if an alternate truck or drop point is needed. Drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion, but it is not guaranteed—plan for a short shovel-and-rake job if spreading is required.
