Gravel in Medley, FL

Delivered gravel prices in Medley typically vary by material, quantity, and supplier. Expect a broad range of roughly $30 to $80 per ton for common gravels delivered, with specialty or colored gravels costing more; Hello Gravel’s minimum order is 3 tons and final price depends on your zip code and delivery options.

Common choices in Medley include pea gravel for decorative areas, 3/4u0022 crushed stone or DOT #57 for driveways and drainage, and crusher-run (road base) for a compacted sublayer. Regional sourcing means texture and color can vary locally, so request photos or samples when ordering.

Coverage depends on gravel size and desired depth, but a handy estimate is that one ton covers about 100 sq ft at 1u0022 depth. For common project depths: 1 ton ≈ 50 sq ft at 2u0022, ≈ 33 sq ft at 3u0022, and ≈ 25 sq ft at 4u0022; adjust these numbers for heavier materials like crusher-run, which will cover slightly less area per ton.

Labor and compaction rates in Medley vary by project size and site conditions; for small jobs contractors often charge a flat rate or $1 to $4 per sq ft, while larger jobs may be quoted per ton or per cubic yard. For an accurate price, get at least two local quotes and include site prep, edging, and compaction in the estimate.

Heat and humidity have little effect on inert gravel, but Florida’s heavy rain seasons (usually summer) increase risk of erosion, rutting, and washouts if drainage is poor. Plan for proper base preparation, good grading, and occasional top-ups or regrading after strong storms to keep surfaces stable.

Yes—suppliers and quarries that serve the Miami-Dade area deliver to Medley, but availability and minimums vary. Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers; our minimum order is 3 tons, while some quarries or specialty suppliers may require larger minimums for certain products (for example 10+ tons for bulk quarry loads).

Some drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion, but this is not guaranteed and depends on safety and site access. You can request spreading in the Order Notes at checkout and the driver will assess on arrival, or hire a local crew for guaranteed spreading and compaction.

For driveways in Medley choose angular crushed stone or DOT #57 with a compactable base for strength and drainage; for garden paths or decorative beds choose pea gravel or washed decorative gravel for comfort and appearance. Consider local drainage, desired maintenance, and whether you need a compactable base or only a decorative top layer.

Expect delivery by dump truck (typically tri-axle) with materials dropped in a single pile at a safe, accessible spot; drivers will avoid hazards but can’t guarantee placement or spreading. Clear a route for the truck, mark overhead wires or fragile landscaping, and note access restrictions in your order to reduce the chance of delays or extra fees.
