Gravel delivery in Nassau County, FL

A typical tri-axle dump truck load in Nassau County (roughly 10–12 cubic yards, about 12–16 tons depending on material) usually costs between $300 and $900 total, depending on gravel type, distance, and whether delivery is next-day. Hello Gravel’s minimum order is 3 tons, and final price will be shown at checkout including delivery; contact our team if you need a firm quote for a specific address.

One ton of gravel covers roughly 230 sq ft at 1 inch depth, about 115 sq ft at 2 inches, and about 77 sq ft at 3 inches. These are approximate values (based on a common density of local crushed stone); coverage changes with gravel type and compaction, so use our calculator or ask our team for a precise estimate.

Prices in Nassau County vary by material: local crushed stone or bank-run gravel is commonly $30–$60 per ton, decorative crushed shell or specialty gravels can be $60–$100+ per ton. Delivery and minimums (Hello Gravel minimum 3 tons) affect the total cost, so check your zip code on our site for an accurate quote.

You can get gravel locally in Nassau County, but supply depends on type: crushed limestone and coastal shell are commonly available, while riverstone or certain crushed rock may be brought in from outside the county. Because Hello Gravel sources regionally, material texture and color will reflect local geology; you can add color or type notes at checkout.

Costs depend on width, depth, and material. For example, a 20 ft long by 10 ft wide driveway at a 3u0022 compacted depth requires about 2.6 tons (round up to the 3-ton minimum) and could cost roughly $150–$400 including delivery with local crushed stone; deeper profiles or decorative stone will raise the price. For a tailored estimate, use our material calculator or request a quote with your driveway dimensions.

Use the formula tons = (area in sq ft * depth in inches) / 231. For a 20 ft by 10 ft driveway (200 sq ft): at 2u0022 depth you need about 1.7 tons, at 3u0022 about 2.6 tons — note Hello Gravel’s minimum order is 3 tons, so you would typically order that much for a small driveway job.

A 7x14 trailer’s cubic-yard capacity depends on side height: with 18u0022 sides it holds about 4–5 cubic yards, with 24u0022 sides about 6–7 cubic yards. In tons that equals roughly 6–10 tons of gravel depending on material density and how high it is loaded; check your trailer’s GVWR and local load limits before hauling.

You can put gravel over soil, but in Nassau County’s sandy and sometimes poorly drained soils you should prepare the area: remove vegetation, add and compact a crushed stone base or larger angular rock for stability, and lay geotextile fabric to reduce mixing and weeds. Proper slope and drainage are important near coastlines to prevent washout; drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion but it is not guaranteed.

Cheapest options locally are usually bank-run gravel or locally crushed stone and crushed shell when it is plentiful; recycled concrete or locally available screenings can also be lower cost. Prices depend on local supply and delivery distance, so Hello Gravel will show current per-ton pricing for your zip code at checkout.

For most Nassau County driveways a well-graded crushed stone (such as 3/4u0022 crushed stone or #57) gives good compaction and drainage; in coastal areas crushed shell is a popular, attractive surface but it can migrate and may need edging. A typical build-up is a compacted base of larger material with a 1–2u0022 topcoat of finer crushed stone or shell for a stable, low-maintenance surface.

At 2u0022 depth you’ll need about 8.7 tons (1,000 * 2 / 231), and at 3u0022 about 13 tons. Multiply by local per-ton prices and add delivery to estimate total cost; Hello Gravel’s minimum order is 3 tons, and larger orders are generally easier to price and deliver.

One acre is 43,560 sq ft. At 2u0022 depth you would need about 377 tons (43,560 * 2 / 231), and at 3u0022 about 566 tons. Large orders like this require coordination for multiple truckloads and staging—contact our team to arrange delivery logistics and site access.

Labor rates vary: general landscape labor in the Nassau County area often ranges from $40–$80 per hour for basic crews, while $100/hour may be reasonable for a skilled operator, small crew, or specialized spreading and compacting equipment. Remember Hello Gravel deliveries do not include guaranteed spreading—request tailgate spreading at checkout and plan for separate labor or equipment if you need full spreading and compaction.
