Gravel in Wabasso Beach, FL

A typical tri-axle dump truck in the Wabasso Beach area carries about 10 to 12 tons of gravel. Delivered price usually runs between $300 and $800 depending on material type (crusher run, pea gravel, river rock), distance from the quarry, and seasonal demand. Heavier or specialty materials and longer haul distances can push the price higher. Contact Hello Gravel with your zip code for an exact delivered price.

In the Florida region, delivered gravel commonly costs about $30 to $70 per ton, which is roughly $40 to $100 per cubic yard (one cubic yard averages about 1.3 to 1.5 tons depending on the material). Coverage depends on depth: one cubic yard covers about 162 sq ft at 2 inches, 108 sq ft at 3 inches, and 81 sq ft at 4 inches. Final price and coverage change with material type, local availability, and compaction.

Assuming a 20-foot long by 10-foot wide driveway, material needed is about 1.2 cu yd at 2u0022 depth or about 1.85 cu yd at 3u0022 depth; that roughly equals 1.5 to 3 tons of gravel. Because Hello Gravel’s minimum order is 3 tons, expect to pay for at least that amount, so a realistic delivered cost range is about $100 to $350 depending on material choice and delivery distance. If you want a compacted base (crusher run) plus a top layer, budget toward the higher end or ask for a combined quote.

For 1,000 sq ft a 2u0022 finish layer requires about 6.2 cu yd (≈8.6 tons) and a 3u0022 layer needs about 9.3 cu yd (≈13 tons). With local Florida prices of roughly $30 to $70 per ton, material costs typically fall between $260 and $910, and with delivery the total is commonly $300 to $1,200. Exact cost depends on the gravel type, whether you need a base layer, and hauling distance from the supplier.

For cost and long-term performance in coastal Florida, a crusher-run (also called crusher run or dense grade aggregate) base topped with 3/4u0022 crushed stone is usually the most cost-effective option. Crusher-run compacts well to form a stable base that reduces rutting and maintenance, while the crushed top provides better drainage and driving surface than pea gravel or shells. Avoid loose shell mixes near driveways because they can migrate and require frequent raking.

Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and haulers serving Indian River County so you can see available materials and delivered pricing for your zip code. Many landscape yards and quarries in the region will also deliver, but minimums and small-load options vary by supplier; some offer 1-cubic-yard delivery while Hello Gravel’s minimum order is 3 tons. Check supplier listings in our checkout or contact our team for small-load recommendations.

Hello Gravel’s minimum order is 3 tons, which for many common gravels is roughly 2 to 3 cubic yards depending on material density. Some local suppliers outside our network may offer one-cubic-yard deliveries, but availability and fees vary and small deliveries often carry a higher per-unit delivery charge. If you need less than 3 tons, contact our customer team and we’ll try to connect you with local options or provide a quote for the minimum order.

Yes, Wabasso Beach is in Indian River County and coastal property owners should check county zoning, dune protection, and stormwater rules before adding large quantities of gravel. Many HOAs also have rules on driveway materials, color, and edge treatments, and building or environmental permits may be required for work near dunes or wetlands. We recommend contacting your HOA and the Indian River County building or planning department before ordering materials.

Labor rates vary by crew size and whether specialized equipment is needed; many local labor crews charge roughly $40 to $80 per hour, while equipment operators or small specialty crews can run $75 to $120 per hour. So $100 per hour is on the higher side but not uncommon for smaller crews, tight-access jobs, or if machinery like a skid-steer or excavator is required. For larger jobs many contractors prefer to quote by the job or by the cubic yard to give predictable pricing.

A cost-effective, reliable plan is to use crusher-run (compacted base) topped with a standard crushed stone (3/4u0022 or #57) for the driving surface; crushed concrete can be less expensive if available locally. This combination balances low material cost, good compaction, and lower upkeep compared with loose pea gravel or shell mixes that shift and wash out more easily. Always factor in hauling distance when choosing material because delivery often makes the biggest difference in total cost.
