Why Babson Park Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Babson Park (city population 2,530) sits in West Florida's warm, growing region — the surrounding metro area population is 2.5+ million — and is seeing steady demand for residential and small-scale commercial projects as the area expands at a 2.50% annual growth rate. Located in hardiness zone 8b, with 228 sunny days per year and 34.00 inches of rain annually, homeowners face both strong sun exposure and periodic heavy rainfall. Those conditions increase the need for durable, well-draining materials for driveways, walkways, French drains, and erosion control. Gravel is often chosen here because it sheds water, stabilizes surfaces on sandy or loamy soils common to the region, and requires low upkeep—an attractive combination for DIY homeowners and local contractors managing site prep and landscaping work.Popular Projects in Babson Park This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Babson Park gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Babson Park.
Prices vary by material and supplier, but expect roughly $25 to $60 per ton in West Florida near Babson Park, which converts to about $35 to $85 per cubic yard (1 cu yd ≈ 1.4 tons). Premium or decorative gravels run higher, while recycled or bulk contractor grades are at the low end. Check your zip code on Hello Gravel for exact, up-to-date prices and remember our minimum order is 3 tons.
Buy in bulk, choose locally sourced standard contractor grades (crusher run or road base), and compare quotes from nearby suppliers using Hello Gravel. Recycled materials like crushed concrete can be cheaper but may not suit all driveways. Also consider pickup from a local quarry if you have an appropriate truck, and order outside peak landscaping season when demand is lower.
A typical tri-axle dump truck in this region carries about 10 to 12 cubic yards (roughly 14 to 17 tons) depending on material. Delivered cost for a full truckload can range widely—often $400 to $900—depending on distance, material type, and site access. Get a delivery quote for your exact zip code on Hello Gravel because some areas have free delivery and others charge based on haul distance.
Assuming a 20 ft long by 10 ft wide single-car driveway (200 sq ft): 2" ≈ 1.2 cubic yards (≈ 1.7 tons), 4" ≈ 2.5 cubic yards (≈ 3.5 tons), and 6" ≈ 3.7 cubic yards (≈ 5.2 tons). Order about 10% extra to account for compaction and grading. If your driveway width differs, scale the numbers by actual square footage.
For a single-car 20x10-ft driveway expect a wide range: low-end DIY (material + delivery) could be $200 to $700 depending on thickness and material; if you add paid spreading/compaction labor, total costs commonly fall between $400 and $1,400. Costs depend on material type, access difficulty, whether the driver will tailgate-spread, and local labor rates—ask Hello Gravel for a materials + delivery quote and get contractor bids for spreading and compaction.
Generally no—2 inches is thin for Florida conditions with sandy soils and frequent heavy rain. Aim for at least 3 to 4 inches for light residential use over a well-prepared base, and 4 to 6 inches (with compaction) where vehicle traffic is heavier. Also prioritize proper drainage, a compacted base, and consider geotextile fabric to reduce rutting and washout.
Cheaper local options can include crushed concrete (recycled concrete aggregate) and reclaimed asphalt millings; both are often priced similarly to or slightly less than virgin gravel. Crushed shell or compacted sand are common in parts of Florida but are less durable under heavy traffic. Prices vary—compare Hello Gravel quotes and get contractor input on long-term performance for your site.
Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and contracted haulers that deliver to Babson Park; supplier availability depends on your zip code. Some drivers may provide tailgate spreading at their discretion, but spreading and compaction are not guaranteed as part of delivery. If you need full installation, ask the supplier for contractor referrals or request multiple contractor quotes through our platform.
Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order. Delivery is typically 2+ business days with a next-day option for orders placed before noon CST; fees vary by area—many locations have free delivery while others charge based on distance. For permits, replacing a driveway in the same footprint usually needs no county permit, but check Polk County rules, any local HOA requirements, and stormwater/drainage rules before altering driveway grading or runoff paths.
Hello Gravel provides upfront material and delivery pricing at checkout so you know those costs before purchase. Labor for spreading, grading, and compaction requires a contractor estimate and is not covered by materials pricing—request itemized installation quotes and share photos or measurements for accurate bids. Contact our team if you want help collecting multiple quotes or arranging delivery details.
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.
