Many Hello Gravel orders include free or low-cost delivery locally, but delivery fees depend on distance, truck access, and order size—local deliveries commonly range from no fee to a few hundred dollars for longer hauls. Tailgate spreading can be requested at checkout but is done at the driver’s discretion and may incur an extra charge; it is not guaranteed.

Use area x depth to find cubic yards, then convert to tons. As a quick rule: 1 cubic yard covers about 108 sq ft at 3 inches depth (1 yd3 ≈ 1.4 tons). Example: a 12' x 100' driveway (1,200 sq ft) needs ~11.1 yd3 at 3u0022 (about 15.5 tons); at 2u0022 it would be ~7.4 yd3 (~10.4 tons), and at 4u0022 ~16.7 yd3 (~23.4 tons).

For driveways, well-graded, angular crushed stone (for example 3/4u0022 crushed stone or #57) over a compactable base provides stability in humid Florida soils. For drainage, use clean, larger stone (1u0022–2u0022) or washed stone without fines to promote flow. Because of Florida’s high rainfall and sometimes high water table, combine good base material, geotextile fabric, and proper slope to avoid rutting and standing water.

Large producers like Martin Marietta operate in parts of Florida, but exact product availability and proximity to Marietta vary by county and quarry.

Deliveries are scheduled via the checkout calendar and arrive on contractor-style dump trucks during normal business hours.

Contractor and large-volume pricing varies by supplier and haul distance; Hello Gravel negotiates rates with local suppliers, and discounts commonly appear for orders of multiple truckloads or orders above several dozen tons. For volume pricing or ongoing contractor accounts in the Marietta area, contact our sales team to get a tailored quote and delivery plan.

Many private residential gravel installations do not require a permit, but HOA rules, county setback requirements, or regulations about placing material in the public right-of-way can apply. Check with your local county permitting office and HOA before ordering; Hello Gravel can advise on typical issues but cannot determine permit requirements for you.

Bagged gravel is convenient for very small projects and easy to move, but it is significantly more expensive per ton and not practical for larger areas. Bulk gravel delivered by dump truck is cheaper per ton, faster to place for medium-to-large jobs, and required for anything over a few cubic yards; note Hello Gravel’s 3-ton minimum for bulk delivery.

A 50-lb bag contains about 0.025 tons and roughly 0.018 cubic yards, so you need about 56 bags to equal one cubic yard. For planning, convert your project to cubic yards first, then multiply by ~56 to get the number of 50-lb bags you would need.

Clear the drop area of debris, park vehicles away from the access path, and mark any hazards or preferred drop spots with flags or cones. Check for low-hanging wires and confirm a clear truck approach; request tailgate spreading at checkout if you want the driver to attempt spreading, understanding it is at their discretion.

Plan a firm, permeable base (well-graded crushed stone), use geotextile fabric to separate native soil from aggregate, and slope the surface away from buildings to shed water. Consider adding French drains or perforated pipe under larger gravel beds to manage a high water table or frequent heavy rains common in the Florida region.
