That covers roughly 231 sq ft at 1u0022 depth, 116 sq ft at 2u0022, 77 sq ft at 3u0022, and 58 sq ft at 4u0022; actual coverage changes with gravel type and compaction, so order a little extra to allow for settlement and waste.

Yes, basic crushed gravel is generally less expensive than river rock in West Florida because river rock is heavier, often more expensive per ton, and typically requires more labor to place attractively. Delivery and installation costs also tend to be higher for river rock, so crushed gravel is usually the more budget-friendly choice for driveways and broad landscape areas.

Hello Gravel’s minimum order is 3 tons (about 2–2.5 cubic yards depending on material), so very small 1-yard deliveries may be limited unless a supplier in your area offers a special small-load service. Per-yard prices in the region vary widely (roughly $30–$120 per cubic yard depending on material); check availability and small-load fees for your Sweetwater zip code through the Hello Gravel checkout.

Some suppliers and local contractors offer grading, spreading, and compaction as add-on services, but Hello Gravel primarily coordinates material delivery and any installation is arranged separately with the supplier or a local contractor. Typical add-on costs vary: expect grading/leveling or labor from ~$50–$125 per hour or flat rates around $1–$3 per sq ft for full prep and compaction, depending on site complexity and equipment needed.

Yes, Sweetwater, Miami-Dade County, and local HOA rules can affect whether gravel is allowed, required drainage or curb cuts, and whether a permit is needed for driveway modifications. Check city and county building departments and your HOA before ordering, and factor any permit fees, required drainage work, or retaining edges into your budget; contact Hello Gravel if you need help locating local rules.
