Gravel delivery in Oviedo, FL

Delivered price depends on truck size and material. A tri-axle dump truck in West Florida typically carries about 10–12 cubic yards (roughly 12–16 tons) and delivered per-ton prices for common gravels in the region often fall in the $40–$70 per ton range, so a full tri-axle load might run roughly $480–$1,120. Prices vary by material, season, and your zip code, so use our checkout or Get a Quote to see exact pricing for Oviedo.

Cost depends on the depth you choose. For a commonly recommended 4u0022 depth, 1,000 sq ft requires about 12.4 cubic yards (≈17–18 tons); at $40–$70 per ton that equals roughly $680–$1,260 for material alone. Remember Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum, delivery times vary by schedule, and regional variation in material can affect the final price.

For 400 sq ft at 4u0022 depth you need about 4.9 cubic yards (≈7 tons). At a lighter 2u0022 depth you would need about 2.5 cubic yards (≈3.5 tons), and at 6u0022 about 7.4 cubic yards (≈10.5 tons). Material cost depends on type (typical per-ton ranges $40–$70) and delivery is often free in many areas but can vary — check your zip code at checkout or request a quote for exact delivery fees to Oviedo.

Typical delivered per-ton ranges in West Florida are roughly: crushed stone/3/4u0022 gravel $40–$60 per ton, pea gravel $45–$70 per ton, and decorative river rock $60–$100 per ton. One cubic yard of gravel usually weighs about 1.3–1.5 tons, so multiply per-ton price by that to estimate per-cubic-yard cost. Coverage for one ton (using 1.4 tons/yd3) is about 116 sq ft at 2u0022 depth, 77 sq ft at 3u0022 depth, and 58 sq ft at 4u0022 depth.

For light walking paths you can lay gravel on compacted dirt, but for a durable driveway in Oviedo's wet subtropical climate you should install a compacted base (crushed rock) and consider geotextile fabric to separate soil from aggregate and improve stability. Installation costs vary: DIY material cost only, while professional installs that include grading, base, compaction, and drainage typically range depending on scope — a local contractor can give a site-specific estimate; use our Get a Quote to connect with suppliers and haulers in Oviedo.

No, 2u0022 is generally too thin for a residential driveway that will see vehicle traffic. We recommend a properly prepared sub-base plus a finished gravel layer of 4u0022–6u0022 for durability in Central Florida, where heavy rains and runoff can cause rutting if the surface and base are insufficient.

Bulk delivery is almost always the most cost-effective option for yard- and driveway-size projects because the per-ton price is much lower than bagged material. Fifty-pound bags are convenient for very small projects but are typically 2–3 times more expensive per ton; Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons, which is a good threshold to compare against bagged pricing for your project.

A properly built gravel driveway with a good base and drainage can last 10–20+ years but will need periodic maintenance like grading, adding 1–2u0022 of new gravel every few years, and fixing low spots after heavy rains. In Oviedo's climate expect more frequent maintenance after the wet season; budgeting for a small top-up every 2–5 years is common.

A 7x14 dump trailer typically holds about 4–7 cubic yards depending on side height, while a full-size pickup truck bed usually carries about 0.5–1.5 cubic yards (roughly 1–3 tons) of gravel. If your project needs more than a couple of tons, bulk delivery is usually easier and more cost-effective than multiple trailer or truck runs.

Using a typical density (≈1.4 tons per cubic yard), one ton covers about 116 sq ft at 2u0022, 77 sq ft at 3u0022, and 58 sq ft at 4u0022. So 5 tons will cover roughly 580 sq ft at 2u0022 depth, 385 sq ft at 3u0022, or 290 sq ft at 4u0022; 10 tons will cover about twice those areas. We also recommend ordering 5–10% extra to account for compaction, grading, and waste — and remember Hello Gravel's 3-ton minimum when planning small jobs.
