Walkway Gravel
A smaller ⅜” crushed stone that is great for paths, patios, and garden walkways. Comfortable under foot thanks to its smaller size, and creates a beautiful garden-like atmosphere.
Road Base

Commonly used for constructing roads, driveway bases, parking lots, and other paved and unpaved surfaces.

Why Alachua Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Alachua is a growing community with a population of 17,301, experiencing steady expansion at about 2.50% annually. With a warm, sunny climate (228 sunny days per year) and an annual rainfall of 34.00 inches in USDA hardiness zone 8b, local yards and driveways face strong sun and periodic heavy rains. That combination drives demand for durable, well-draining surface materials that stand up to heat, shed water, and reduce mud. As homeowners renovate yards or add driveways and walkways to match local growth, they seek quality aggregates that balance appearance, drainage, and low maintenance. Gravel is a popular choice because it stabilizes surfaces, improves runoff management, and complements the region’s sandy soils and native landscaping needs.Popular Projects in Alachua This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Alachua gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Alachua.
Prices vary by material, supplier, and delivery distance, but expect common gravels to fall roughly in the $35 to $70 per ton range in the Alachua area. Hello Gravel shows final delivered pricing at checkout (minimum order 3 tons) and may include free delivery in some neighborhoods, so get a quote for the most accurate number.
Angular crushed stone (3/4" minus or 3/4" clean) is usually best because it locks together for stability and sheds water well; limestone base rock also performs well for driveways. Pea gravel and shell look attractive and drain fast, but they shift more in heavy rain and may need edging and more frequent top-ups.
Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and contracted dump-truck haulers who deliver to Alachua; standard delivery is by tri-axle dump truck. Drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion—request it at checkout—but spreading is not guaranteed and depends on site access and safety.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

The material will be delivered via dump truck. If your order is under 20 tons, then it will likely be just one dump truck load. If your order is more than 20 tons, it will be more than one dump truck load.

We cannot get out of the truck and manually spread it. However, depending on the location, safety, and comfortability of the driver – we may be able to tailgate spread your material. This involves pulling the truck forward as material is being dumped to make it easier for you to distribute material after delivery.
The minimum order size is 3 tons.
Hassle Free! Our goal is to make the buying process for gravel and other aggregates as easy and seamless as possible. Enter your zip code on our site, select how much material you need (see below FAQ’s to determine order size), select the date and time frame you would like your material delivered at Checkout, and place your order with any major credit card. After the order is placed our in-house support team will contact you to confirm the details. We will send additional confirmations on the day before and the day of delivery. On delivery day, a dump truck will arrive to dump the materials at your specified location. We request that you have someone available to accept the delivery so that we can make sure to dump it in the correct location. That’s it!
No, because we are a national supplier, we utilize our existing network of suppliers across the country. Therefore, the materials will likely be delivered from a contracted trucking company.
We specialize in making the aggregate buying process as easy and seamless as possible by managing the process from end to end. We have a network of suppliers that we source the materials from where we have negotiated rates. However, we do charge a markup and because of this you may be able to find the materials cheaper on your own. But if you want a hassle free experience, then we are for you!
