Gravel in Poinciana, FL

In Poinciana, common gravel types typically range from about $20 to $45 per ton delivered, depending on material (e.g., crusher run, base stone, or pea gravel). Decorative, colored, or specialty gravels usually run higher, about $40 to $75 per ton. Prices vary by supplier, material weight, and whether delivery is included.

A typical tri-axle delivery to Poinciana carries roughly 10 to 12 tons of gravel (about 7 to 10 cubic yards depending on density). Expect a delivered load to cost roughly $300 to $900 per load depending on material type and distance; that works out to roughly $40 to $100 per cubic yard. Exact quotes depend on the material, local supplier, and any delivery surcharges.

Using a common density (about 1.4 tons per cubic yard), 1 ton of gravel covers roughly 230 sq ft at 1u0022 depth, about 116 sq ft at 2u0022, and about 77 sq ft at 3u0022. These numbers vary by stone type, moisture, and compaction, so use them as estimates and check our material calculator for a project-specific number. For heavy or very angular stone the coverage will be slightly less.

Hello Gravel requires a minimum order of 3 tons for delivery. Many suppliers and haulers offer reduced per-ton pricing at higher volumes (commonly starting around 10 tons and greater), but bulk discount levels vary by material and supplier—contact our sales team for specific volume pricing. We can provide a tailored quote based on your zip code and project size.

For Poinciana driveways we commonly recommend angular crushed stone or crusher-run (3/4u0022 minus) for good compaction and stability; pea gravel or 3/8u0022 rounded stone works well for walkways and patios. For drainage use, 1/2u0022 washed stone or clean drainage rock is best. Cost-wise, basic crusher-run and washed base stones are usually the most economical, pea and decorative gravels cost more, and specialty or colored stones are the most expensive.

Additional fees may apply in Poinciana for gated properties, long driveways, tight access, or soft/steep sites; some suppliers also add travel or fuel surcharges for long hauls. Standard delivery is 2+ business days, next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee, and same-day delivery is rarely available and not guaranteed.

Tailgate spreading may be offered at the driver's discretion but is not guaranteed or included; ask at checkout and expect the driver to assess safety on arrival. For hired spreading, grading, or compaction expect equipment plus operator rates in the ballpark of $75 to $150 per hour and labor rates around $40 to $90 per hour, depending on crew size and machine. Prices vary by contractor and job complexity, so request an itemized quote for any additional services.

Many areas of Poinciana fall under HOA covenants and either Osceola County or Polk County rules, and some HOAs restrict driveway materials, colors, or front-yard gravel. Driveways that change the curb cut, stormwater flow, or drainage may require county permits. Always check your HOA covenants and contact county permitting before ordering if you have questions about setbacks, curb cuts, or materials allowed.

Picking up gravel can lower per-ton cost by avoiding delivery fees, but you must have a suitable truck and loading equipment. Some quarries or yards may charge a tipping or loading fee (varies, often small or waived by supplier), while delivery removes the loading hassle and sometimes includes free delivery in many areas. Compare the hourly cost of your time and truck rental plus any quarry fees against delivered quotes to decide which is cheaper.

Washed and screened gravels and specialty materials (colored stone, decomposed granite, or landscaping blends) are often available in the Poinciana area but availability depends on regional suppliers. Expect specialty and decorative materials to cost 15% to 50% more than common base gravels, and some types may have minimum order sizes or longer lead times. If you need a specific look or wash specification, request samples and a lead-time estimate when you get a quote.
