Gravel in Martin County, FL

A typical tri-axle dump truck load in Martin County holds about 10-12 tons. Material prices vary, but expect raw gravel costs roughly $30 to $80 per ton in the area, so a full truck can run about $300 to $960 for material alone; add delivery or placement fees if applicable. Hello Gravel’s minimum order is 3 tons, and we’ll provide clear pricing and delivery options for your zip code at checkout.

Per-ton prices in Martin County commonly fall between $30 and $80 per ton depending on type (crushed stone, river rock, shell), color, and supplier inventory. Delivery, seasonal demand, and any screening or washing add to the final cost, so get a quote for your specific material and address.

Use a simple rule: 1 ton is about 0.7 cubic yards, so 20 tons is roughly 14 cubic yards. At a compacted depth of 3 inches that covers about 1,500 square feet, and at 4 inches it covers about 1,100 square feet — good for estimating gravel driveways or large yard areas.

Cost depends on width, depth, material, and prep. For a 20 ft long by 10 ft wide driveway at about 3 inches of gravel you’ll need roughly 2.5 to 3.5 tons (our 3-ton minimum covers it), so material could be $90 to $260; including delivery, site prep, grading, and compaction total costs typically range from a few hundred dollars to about $1,000 for a simple small drive.

Buying in bulk and ordering directly from local suppliers or through a marketplace like Hello Gravel usually gives the best price per ton. Combine orders with neighbors, choose locally sourced materials, pick up (if you have a truck) to avoid delivery fees, and avoid specialty or washed products unless needed to keep costs low.

Martin County’s main population hubs—Stuart, Jensen Beach, Palm City, and Hobe Sound—have nearby aggregate suppliers and haulers.

Yes, we deliver to Martin County through our network of local suppliers and contracted trucking partners. Standard delivery typically requires 2 or more business days; a next-day option may be available for orders placed before noon CST (confirm availability at checkout). Drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion but it is not guaranteed.

Because Martin County is coastal and can be salty and wet, choose materials that resist breakdown and washout: angular crushed stone and compactable base mixes work well for driveways and paths, while crushed shell is popular for decorative uses but can shift or compact differently. Discuss your project with our team to pick a material that tolerates local rainfall, salt exposure, and drainage needs.

Regulations vary by municipality and HOA. Many homeowners can install a gravel driveway without county permits, but coastal setbacks, drainage rules, or HOA covenants may restrict materials or thickness. Check with Martin County Building and Zoning and your homeowner association before ordering material.

One acre is 43,560 sq ft. At 3 inches depth you need about 403 cubic yards, which is roughly 565 tons (using 1 cubic yard ≈ 1.4 tons). For 2 inches expect about 377 tons, and for 4 inches about 754 tons. These are estimates—use our material calculator or contact our team for a precise quote.

Because Hello Gravel sources regionally, gravel color and texture reflect local geology and can vary across Martin County. Photos are a guide, not an exact match; you can add color preferences in Order Notes and we’ll do our best to source material that fits your expectations, but natural variation is common.

Labor rates for spreading and basic installation in Martin County vary with scope; expect local crew rates commonly from about $50 to $100 per hour depending on experience and equipment. Smaller jobs or tight-access sites can cost more per ton due to extra labor; request an on-site estimate for accurate pricing and ask at checkout if the driver may be able to assist with tailgate spreading (no guarantees).
