Gravel in Murray Hill, FL

Prices vary by stone type and delivery distance, but expect a tri-axle dump load (about 10–12 cubic yards) of common gravel in Murray Hill to cost roughly $300 to $1,000 delivered. Heavier or decorative stones can run higher. Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum and will provide an exact delivered price for your zip code.

One ton of typical gravel is about 0.7 cubic yards and will cover roughly 116 sq ft at 2 inches, 77 sq ft at 3 inches, or 58 sq ft at 4 inches. Coverage changes with stone size and how tightly you compact it, so use the depth you plan to install when calculating needs.

Gravel prices in Florida vary by type and local supply; common base gravel typically ranges from about $30 to $80 per ton delivered in the region. Local factors in Murray Hill like availability, truck access, and chosen stone can change the price, so request a quote through Hello Gravel for an exact delivered price.

For a durable, budget-friendly driveway, crushed stone or crusher-run (mixed crushed stone and fines) is often the most cost-effective choice because it compacts well. In Florida, locally sourced materials like crushed limestone or shell mix may also be economical; pick a compacting base and a coarser top layer for drainage and longevity.

Cost depends on width, depth, and stone type. For example, a 20 ft long by 10 ft wide driveway at 3 inches deep uses about 2.6 tons of gravel; at $40–$80 per ton, material would be about $100–$210 plus delivery and any spreading/labor — total typically ranges from a few hundred to around $700, depending on service and stone selected.

A 7x14 trailer holds about 98 ft2 of floor area; depending on side height this equals roughly 3.5 to 6 cubic yards. For gravel that weighs about 1.4 tons per cubic yard, that is approximately 5 to 8.5 tons, but exact capacity changes with trailer side height and material density.

If you mean 20 ft long, estimate by width and desired depth. Example: a 20 ft by 10 ft driveway at 3 inches deep needs about 2.6 tons (≈1.9 yd3). If you mean 20 ft wide (and, say, 40 ft long), calculate area first and then use depth to find cubic yards or tons; Hello Gravel's calculator can do this for your exact dimensions.

You can, but preparation matters—especially in Florida where wet soils and clay pockets are common. For best results, grade and compact the subgrade, consider a geotextile fabric to reduce migration, add a compactable base layer (crusher-run), then a topcoat of finishing gravel. Proper prep improves drainage and reduces rutting in rainy months.

It depends on your truck's payload rating. One ton is 2,000 lb and about 0.7 cubic yards; many full-size pickups have payloads between 1,200 and 3,000 lb, so some can carry a ton but others cannot. For most Murray Hill deliveries, Hello Gravel uses dump trucks and has a 3-ton minimum, so delivery is usually a better option than hauling yourself.

Labor rates vary by crew size, scope, and complexity; $100 per hour can be reasonable for skilled crews or small-diameter specialized work, but basic spreading and compacting for a simple driveway is often charged at lower hourly rates or a flat job price. Get multiple estimates and ask what the price includes (grading, compaction, material handling) before hiring.

A layered approach works best: a compactable base like crusher-run or recycled crushed concrete, topped with 3/4u0022 crushed stone or #57 stone for the wearing surface. In Murray Hill you should prioritize materials that drain well and resist rutting in wet periods; local suppliers can recommend a finish stone that fits Florida conditions.

Recycled crushed concrete, reclaimed asphalt, or locally sourced shell materials can be cheaper alternatives depending on availability. Each has tradeoffs in appearance and drainage; ask Hello Gravel about local options and pricing in Murray Hill before choosing.

A 20x20 driveway is 400 sq ft. At 3 inches deep that requires about 3.7 cubic yards (≈5.2 tons). With material priced roughly $30–$80 per ton, expect materials around $150–$420 plus delivery and installation — total cost typically falls between $400 and $1,200 depending on stone type, delivery distance, and any spreading labor.

Most tri-axle dump trucks used locally carry about 10–12 cubic yards, which for gravel equals roughly 14–17 tons depending on stone density. Exact capacity varies by truck type and material; Hello Gravel will confirm truck size and load weight when you request delivery.
