Why altoona Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Altoona has a city population of 2,770 and sits within a growing metro area of 2.5+ million. The region’s expansion—driven by an annual growth rate of 2.50% annually—has increased demand for residential landscaping, driveway upgrades, and erosion-control work. Local climate factors matter: Altoona averages 34.00 inches of rain each year, enjoys about 228 sunny days annually, and falls in USDA hardiness zone 8b. Those conditions create a need for durable, well-draining materials that stand up to both heavy sun and periodic heavy rainfall. Homeowners often choose gravel for its ability to improve drainage, stabilize soft soils, and reduce ongoing maintenance compared with organic surfaces like mulch or bare soil. Clear sizing, local sourcing, and timely delivery are top priorities for successful projects.Popular Projects in altoona This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - altoona gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in altoona.
Delivered gravel in Altoona typically ranges between $25 and $60 per ton, or about $18 to $40 per cubic yard, depending on type (crushed limestone, shell, river rock), distance, and truck access. Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum order and offers standard delivery in 2+ business days, with a next-day option for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee; final price is shown at checkout for your zip code.
For Altoona's sandy soils and humid climate, angular crushed stone (crushed limestone or crushed concrete) and crushed shell perform best for driveways because they lock together and resist movement. For drainage areas, larger washed stone or river rock (1" to 2") helps move water, while pea gravel is attractive but tends to migrate and can rut under traffic.
A typical 2-car driveway (about 20–24 ft wide and 40–60 ft long) will need roughly 14 to 31 tons of gravel depending on depth and base design. Plan for a 4–6" compacted crushed base plus a 2–3" surface layer; use our material calculator or contact Hello Gravel with your exact dimensions to get a zip-code-specific estimate.
Requirements vary by property in Altoona; some county or municipal codes and HOAs may have rules on driveway materials, setbacks, or curb tie-ins. Check with Altoona town hall, your county building department, and any HOA before installation, and note that Hello Gravel can help with supplier and delivery logistics but does not handle permitting.
Yes—because Altoona has sandy subsoils, a stable base is important: install a 4–6" compacted crushed stone base over a level subgrade and consider geotextile fabric to reduce mixing with native soils. Proper compaction, edge restraints, and drainage grading are also essential to prevent rutting and washout during heavy rains.
Hello Gravel connects you to local suppliers that typically deliver in 2+ business days under standard service; some suppliers in the West Florida area can deliver within 1 business day if you order before the next-day cutoff (before noon CST) for an added fee. Lead times can vary by material, truck access, and seasonal demand, so check estimated delivery date at checkout.
Gravel is usually the lowest upfront cost and is more permeable, allowing more stormwater infiltration than asphalt or concrete, which helps with runoff during heavy West Florida rains. However, gravel requires more ongoing maintenance (periodic grading, topping up, and edge containment), whereas asphalt and concrete are more durable but create more runoff and typically cost more initially.
Use angular, crushed stone with some fines (crusher run or 3/4" minus) for the base and a coarser angular surface (1/2" to 3/4") that compacts well; the angularity and fines help the material lock together and resist migration. Avoid smooth, rounded stones (like untreated pea gravel) for high-traffic areas unless you add solid edging, geotextile fabric, and a stable base.
Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion; you can request spreading at checkout but the driver will assess whether it can be done safely on arrival and no spreading is guaranteed. If you need professional spreading and grading, consider hiring a local contractor for installation after delivery.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

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.
