Gravel in Woodstock, FL

A typical tri‑axle dump truck carries about 10–12 cubic yards (roughly 13–16 tons depending on material and local weight limits). Delivered to Woodstock, FL, a full truckload usually runs in the range of $350–$900, depending on material type, supplier inventory, and travel distance; contact our checkout for an exact quote and available trucks.

Delivered gravel prices in the Florida region commonly range from about $35–$70 per cubic yard, which converts to roughly $45–$90 per ton using a typical estimate of 1 cubic yard ≈ 1.3 tons. Prices vary by material (pea gravel, crushed stone, shell), local supply, and delivery distance, so check your zip code for a precise delivered price.

Assuming a standard 10‑foot driveway width, a 20 ft x 10 ft driveway needs roughly 1.25 cubic yards (about 1.6 tons) at 2 inches deep and about 2.47 cubic yards (about 3.2 tons) at 4 inches deep. Keep in mind Hello Gravel has a 3‑ton minimum order, so for deeper covers you may already meet the minimum while shallower covers may still require ordering 3 tons.

One cubic yard of gravel covers about 324 sq ft at 1 inch deep, 162 sq ft at 2 inches, and 108 sq ft at 3 inches. Using a rule of thumb of 1 cubic yard ≈ 1.3 tons, one ton covers roughly 249 sq ft at 1 inch, 125 sq ft at 2 inches, and 83 sq ft at 3 inches; actual coverage depends on material and compaction.

You can place gravel over soil, but especially in Florida's sandy soils and occasional heavy rains we recommend basic preparation: clear vegetation, grade for drainage, add a compacted crushed‑stone base or geotextile fabric, and install edge restraints for containment. Basic prep (weed removal, grading, light compaction) often runs roughly $0.50–$2.00 per sq ft; full contractor installs that include base, fabric, and edging can be $2–$6 per sq ft, depending on site conditions.

For Florida driveways, 3/4u0022 crushed stone or crusher‑run (mix of stone and fines) and compactable limestone work well for durability and drainage; recycled concrete is also a durable, often lower‑cost option. Typical delivered prices in the Florida region: crushed stone/crusher‑run $35–$60/yd³, pea gravel $40–$70/yd³, and decorative shell or coquina $40–$80/yd³, with local variations based on supplier and distance.

The cheapest options are usually reclaimed or bank‑run material and basic crushed rock; these may cost at the lower end of the $35–$45/yd³ range delivered. Trade‑offs include rougher appearance, more dust, less consistent sizing, and possibly more frequent maintenance or top‑ups compared with higher‑grade crusher‑run or decorative gravels.

With normal residential use and proper base preparation, gravel often needs a light top‑up every 1–3 years and may require more substantial replenishing or partial replacement every 8–15 years. Heavy traffic, poor drainage, or lack of edging can shorten that timeline; routine maintenance like raking, regrading, and adding 1–2 inches of new material keeps surfaces functional longer.

Pea gravel and small aggregates do not attract pests by themselves, but they can create hiding spots for insects if placed adjacent to mulch, dense vegetation, or standing water. In wetter Florida locations, small aggregates with fines can reduce infiltration over time unless installed over a well‑draining base; design grading and drainage paths to avoid pooling.

Hello Gravel's standard minimum order is 3 tons, but in some areas local suppliers or partner yards may offer 1‑yard or pickup‑load options with a small‑load delivery fee. If you need less than our minimum, check your zip code on the site or contact our sales team to see local small‑load availability and typical small‑delivery fees of about $50–$150 depending on distance.

Ask about delivery drop location, tailgate spreading requests (performed at driver discretion), and whether the supplier can recommend local contractors for grading, compaction, and edging. For ongoing care, ask about periodic top‑up deliveries, compaction services, and recommended thicknesses for your intended use so you can budget for future maintenance.
