Gravel delivery in North Miami Beach, FL

A full tri-axle dump typically carries about 10–14 cubic yards (roughly 12–16 tons) depending on material. In the North Miami Beach/Miami-Fort Lauderdale area a full load delivered usually runs about $400–$1,200, depending on gravel type, local supplier rates, and access; get an exact price by entering your zip code on Hello Gravel. Remember Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons, and delivery timing varies (standard 2+ business days, next-day option available for an extra fee).

If you mean a 20-foot long by 10-foot wide single-car driveway (200 sq ft), a common 4u0022 compacted gravel depth needs about 2.5 cubic yards (roughly 3.5–4.0 tons). Material alone typically runs $150–$400 delivered depending on type; professional installation (grading, base prep, compaction) commonly adds about $1.50–$4.00 per sq ft, so total supply+install often falls in the $450–$1,200 range. Exact cost depends on existing subgrade, drainage needs, and access; request a quote on Hello Gravel for a firm number.

Prices vary by material and supplier, but in the Miami-Fort Lauderdale area expect roughly $30–$70 per cubic yard or about $40–$80 per ton for common gravels and crushed stone delivered. Specialty decorative gravels or colored stone can cost more, while bulk limestone or recycled concrete may be at the lower end.

For 1,000 sq ft you need about 6.17 cu yd (2u0022), 9.26 cu yd (3u0022), or 12.35 cu yd (4u0022). Using a delivered price range of $40–$80 per ton and a density range of 1.4–1.6 tons/cu yd, material cost will typically be about $340–$790 at 2u0022, $520–$1,200 at 3u0022, and $690–$1,900 at 4u0022, not including any installation or special delivery fees. Prices can shift by product type and access, so check Hello Gravel for an exact quote.

Use the rule: cubic yards = area (sq ft) * depth (in inches) / 324. For 1,000 sq ft that equals about 6.17 cu yd at 2u0022, 9.26 cu yd at 3u0022, and 12.35 cu yd at 4u0022. Converted to weight using a common density range (1.4–1.6 tons/cu yd), you get roughly 8.6–9.9 tons at 2u0022, 13.0–14.8 tons at 3u0022, and 17.3–19.8 tons at 4u0022.

Two inches is only a thin surface layer and is not recommended by itself for a driveway in North Miami Beach, especially given heavy rains and a high water table. For a stable driveway, plan on a well-prepared subgrade, a compacted base of 4–6u0022 of crusher-run or compactable material, plus a 2–3u0022 top dressing of decorative gravel if desired. Proper drainage, geotextile fabric, and compaction are important in South Florida to avoid rutting and washout.

For driveways in this climate, angular crushed stone (3/4u0022 crushed stone or crusher-run, sometimes called 3/4u0022 minus) is a good choice because it compacts and sheds water better than rounded pea gravel. Recycled concrete/crusher-run is another budget-friendly option that compacts well; pea gravel is decorative but shifts more and drains differently. Cost notes: common crushed stone or crusher-run generally falls in the mid-range ($40–$80/ton delivered), recycled concrete is often cheaper, and decorative pea gravel or colored stone is typically more expensive. Local availability and color vary by supplier.

Hello Gravel includes delivery in many areas, but special circumstances can add fees: short-haul (extra distance from truck to drop point), limited access, tight turns, or requiring smaller trucks can add about $25–$150 or more depending on difficulty. Next-day delivery, after-hours drops, or very small orders under the 3-ton minimum may also carry extra charges. The best way to know is to enter your address on Hello Gravel or contact our team so suppliers can assess access and provide any site-specific fees.

Permit and HOA rules vary by property and neighborhood; some HOAs or local codes restrict gravel driveways or require specific materials, edging, or drainage. Hello Gravel can help by pointing you to local contacts and advising on typical local requirements, but we do not handle permitting on your behalf; check with the City of North Miami Beach and your HOA before ordering. If you need help determining whether a permit is required, contact our sales team and we can suggest next steps.

Typical professional installation costs for grading, base prep, and compaction in the Miami area run about $1.50–$4.00 per square foot, depending on site complexity, how bad the existing subgrade is, and whether drainage work or geotextile fabric is required. Simple overlay jobs on a sound base trend toward the low end, while full rebuilds with heavy equipment and engineered base materials reach the high end.
