A single tri-axle dump truck in the West Florida area typically carries about 10 to 14 tons of gravel.

For a driveway surface, 2 inches is usually too thin—especially in Florida where sandy soils and heavy rain can cause movement. A compacted surface of 3 to 4 inches of clean gravel is more common for driveways, with a 4 to 6 inch crushed stone base recommended for long-term stability. Consider local drainage and soil conditions; Hello Gravel can help you choose an appropriate depth.

A 7x14 dump trailer typically holds about 2 to 3 cubic yards of loose material depending on sidewall height and load limits. That is roughly 2.5 to 4 tons of gravel, depending on particle size and moisture. If you plan to use a trailer, confirm its payload and remember Hello Gravel’s delivery minimum is 3 tons.

With proper installation and routine maintenance (periodic top-ups and regrading), a gravel surface can last 10 to 25 years. In West Florida, heavy rain and coastal storms can move material faster, so expect to add fresh gravel every few years in high-traffic or low-drainage areas. Good edging and correct base thickness will extend the life of the surface.

For a flat 1,000 sq ft area, depth determines quantity: at 2 inches you'll need about 10 tons, at 3 inches about 15 tons, and at 4 inches about 20 tons.
