Gravel in Tiger Hole/Secret Woods, FL

Most public parks and preserves require permits and advance approval for commercial deliveries. Hello Gravel typically delivers to private residential or commercial addresses; if you need material dropped at a park, contact the park manager or city parks department first and then tell our team so we can coordinate permits and truck access.

Yes—deliveries to private properties are usually unaffected by park closures, but truck access and street parking rules still apply. If the closure affects road access near your delivery point, let our team know and we will work with the driver and your local supplier to find an alternate drop location.

For coastal Florida, choose angular crushed stone or washed river rock that drains well and resists salt exposure; avoid soft shell mixes for driveways as they break down faster. Typical homeowner choices are 3/4u0022 crushed stone for driveways and 3/8u0022 to 1/2u0022 washed pea gravel for walkways and beds, with a geotextile fabric underneath to reduce rutting and weed growth.

Gravel is not appropriate for dune or beach restoration—those projects use sand and native vegetation to stabilize the shoreline. If you are working on a coastal erosion or dune project, consult local coastal management or permitting authorities for approved materials and methods.

Yes—Florida's wet season (roughly May through October) brings frequent rain that can wash or settle new gravel, so many homeowners prefer to install gravel in the dry season. Also check local rules: some municipalities restrict construction activities during certain months or require erosion controls during rainy periods.

A standard 12-foot-wide driveway paved with 3/4u0022 crushed stone usually needs about 1 ton per 80 square feet at a 2-inch depth; most driveways require multiple inches, so plan on 3 tons minimum per our ordering policy. Use our material calculator or contact Hello Gravel with your dimensions and desired depth for a precise estimate.

Yes, we can deliver to gated communities and large private estates, but you must provide gate codes, delivery instructions, and any HOA or property manager approvals ahead of time. Large-volume orders may require staging space for dump trucks and extra time for coordination, so notify our team when you book delivery.

Prepare a clear drop zone with a firm turn-around area for the dump truck and remove obstructions like low branches or vehicles. Compact the subgrade, install edging to hold gravel, and lay geotextile fabric where drainage or weed control is a concern; tell our team if you want the driver to attempt tailgate spreading, but note that service is at the driver's discretion.
