Across Florida, pricing depends on type (crushed stone, pea gravel, river rock), regional supply, and haul distance; a typical delivered range is about $25 to $75 per ton for common gravels. Coastal areas or specialty decorative stones tend to be pricier, and Hello Gravel shows exact pricing for your zip code and material selection.

A standard tri-axle dump truck usually carries about 10 to 14 cubic yards (roughly 12 to 18 tons, depending on material). That load will cover approximately 1,600 to 2,200 sq ft at 2u0022 depth or 800 to 1,100 sq ft at 4u0022 depth, but results depend on the actual truck size and your chosen depth—ask your Hello Gravel quote for the supplier's truck size.

Generally no—2 inches is too thin for a driveway surface and will rut and shift under traffic, especially on Florida's sandy subsoils. For a stable residential driveway we recommend 4u0022 to 6u0022 of compacted base stone with a 1u0022 to 2u0022 wearing layer; in soft or wet spots consider geotextile fabric and a thicker base.

One ton of typical crushed gravel covers about 110 to 120 sq ft at a 2u0022 depth, roughly 75 to 80 sq ft at 3u0022 depth, and about 55 to 60 sq ft at 4u0022 depth. Coverage varies with aggregate density and moisture; use Hello Gravel's material calculator or request a local estimate for a precise number.

Costs depend on width and depth; for a 20' long by 10' wide driveway at 4u0022 depth you need about 2.5 cubic yards (around 3.5 tons). At a delivered rate of $30 to $60 per ton that works out to roughly $105 to $210 for material, plus any spreading labor or site prep; get a zip-code-based quote for exact pricing and delivery.

To save money in Lorida, order the minimum bulk amount (Hello Gravel requires 3 tons), choose a common locally sourced aggregate instead of specialty decorative stone, and schedule standard delivery rather than rush. Picking up material yourself from a nearby quarry can save on delivery if you have an appropriate vehicle, but Hello Gravel makes bulk ordering and local delivery easier for most homeowners.

Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion; you can request this service at checkout, but it is not guaranteed and depends on site conditions and safety. Hello Gravel recommends planning for a small crew or renting a plate compactor if you need even spreading and compaction after delivery.
