Gravel in Williamsburg, FL

Most tri-axle dump trucks in our delivery network carry about 10-12 cubic yards of gravel (roughly 14-17 tons). At a 2u0022 finished depth that will cover about 1,600-1,900 square feet; at 3u0022 depth it covers about 1,050-1,450 square feet. Exact capacity varies by truck and local material density, so check your delivery confirmation for the truck size.

One cubic yard of typical crushed gravel is roughly 1.4 tons (about 2,800 to 3,000 pounds), though density varies by rock type and moisture. For planning, use 1 cubic yard ≈ 1.4 tons as a rule of thumb for Williamsburg projects. If you need precise weight for permits or heavy equipment, ask your supplier for the exact material weight.

A single cubic yard of gravel is about 27 cubic feet, which works out to roughly 56 50-lb bags. The exact count can vary slightly by gravel type and bag compaction, so use 56 bags per cubic yard as a practical estimate for small jobs in Williamsburg.

For a 20 ft long driveway that is 10 ft wide at a 3u0022 depth, you need about 1.85 cubic yards, which is roughly 2.5 to 3 tons. Our minimum order is 3 tons, so that amount usually covers a short 20 ft driveway in one delivery. Always order a little extra for compaction and grading losses, or call our team for a quick calculator-based estimate.

Costs vary by material and delivery, but as an example a 200-ft long single-lane driveway (10 ft wide) at 3u0022 depth needs about 26 tons of gravel. At a typical delivered price range of $40-$70 per ton in the Florida region, material and delivery would be roughly $1,040-$1,820; local site prep, edging, and spreading labor are additional.

For most Williamsburg driveways we recommend a compactable base such as crusher run or #411 for the bottom layer, topped with 3/4u0022 crushed stone or #57 for driving surface and drainage. These mixes compact well and resist rutting in our humid, sometimes wet Florida soils. Consider geotextile fabric under the base if you have very sandy or unstable subgrade.

More affordable options in the Florida region are typically base mixes like crusher run, bank-run gravel, or recycled crushed concrete, which are priced lower than washed decorative stone or pea gravel. These cheaper materials work well for base layers and basic driveways but may not be ideal for decorative landscape uses. Prices vary by supplier and local availability, so request quotes for the exact material you have in mind.

Yes, crushed concrete (recycled concrete aggregate) is often cheaper than new gravel and performs well for driveways and base layers when properly compacted. It drains reasonably well and compacts into a stable surface, but it can contain fines that may harden and show concrete fragments. Ask your supplier about local mix and acceptability for your project before ordering.

One ton of gravel will cover roughly 115 square feet at a 2u0022 depth and about 77 square feet at a 3u0022 depth, depending on material density. In Williamsburg's regional materials, use 115 sq ft per ton at 2u0022 as a practical rule of thumb. For accurate planning, convert to cubic yards and account for compaction and grading losses.

Gravel is usually cheaper up front than a concrete slab: a gravel driveway often runs $1-$3 per square foot for materials and basic delivery, while a poured concrete driveway commonly costs $4-$8 per square foot installed. Gravel requires more maintenance over time and may need periodic regrading, so weigh the lower initial cost against long-term upkeep and durability for Williamsburg's climate. For a certified comparison, get local contractor estimates that include site prep and drainage.

Dump truck costs depend on truck size, material type, and delivery distance. For Williamsburg, expect a single tri-axle truckload (10-12 cubic yards, roughly 14-17 tons) of basic gravel to fall in the ballpark of several hundred to a couple thousand dollars—exact pricing depends on the material and whether your address qualifies for free delivery.

Hourly labor rates vary by crew size, skill, and scope; $100 per hour can be reasonable for a small crew or specialized services, while basic labor rates may be lower for simple spreading. Expect higher rates if the job needs equipment, tight access handling, or multiple crew members. Get written estimates that list labor hours and tasks so you can compare total project costs reliably.
