Decomposed Granite
Known for its natural look, this compact, durable material drains well and holds up in high-traffic areas. Made from crushed and weathered granite down to a mix of fine gravel and sand—best for patios, paths, driveways, and landscape projects. Can range in color from light brown and tan to reddish and gray, depending on the natural stone color in the region.
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
(Class 5 | ABC | Crusher Run) A mixture of crushed limestone or granite, gravel, and sand, ranging from 1 ½” in size down to fines (small particles). Commonly used for constructing roads, driveway bases, parking lots, and other paved and unpaved surfaces. Intended to be compacted, hence the inclusion of fines within the material to provide support and be resistant to erosion and shifting.

Why Brandon Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Brandon has a city population of 77,690 and sits inside a fast-growing Tampa–St. Petersburg region whose metro area population is 2.3+ million. With a growth rate of 3.20% annually and 228 sunny days a year, local yards and home projects are expanding quickly — from new driveways and patios to raised beds and drainage upgrades. That steady development, combined with hot, sunny conditions and seasonal storms, drives demand for durable, well-draining aggregates. Homeowners choose quality gravel because it controls erosion, improves surface drainage, reduces mud, and provides a low-maintenance finish that stands up to frequent sun exposure and neighborhood vehicle traffic. Gravel is a great match for Brandon’s climate and soils: it sheds water during the 34.00 inches of annual rainfall, resists compaction in prolonged sun, and stabilizes paths, driveways, and drainage trenches. At Hello Gravel we connect you with local suppliers who source regionally appropriate mixes, offer transparent pricing, and schedule delivery on your timeline. Orders start at 3 tons and typically arrive by standard delivery in 2+ business days, with next-day options available before noon CST — all to help homeowners get the right gravel for long-lasting results.Popular Projects in Brandon This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Brandon gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Brandon.
A 10-yard load in the Brandon/Tampa area typically runs about $350 to $630 delivered, depending on gravel type and supplier. That range comes from a typical delivered price of about $25 to $45 per ton (roughly $35 to $63 per cubic yard); a 10-yard load equals about 10 cubic yards or ~14 tons. Prices vary by material, local availability, and any access or offload complications.
Typical delivered pricing in the Tampa–St. Petersburg area is roughly $25 to $45 per ton, which converts to about $35 to $63 per cubic yard (1 cubic yard ≈ 1.4 tons for most gravels). Local sourcing, type of gravel (driveway mix vs. decorative), and seasonal demand can push prices above or below these ranges.
At a 3-inch depth, 1,000 sq ft requires about 9.3 cubic yards of gravel, or roughly 13 tons. Using local delivered price ranges, materials plus basic delivery will typically be about $325 to $586. Exact cost depends on the gravel type you choose and any delivery access issues.
Two inches is only a light surfacing and is usually not enough for a driveway that will see vehicle traffic in Brandon's rainy climate; 3 inches is a common minimum and 4 inches is better for durability. Moving from 2" to 3" increases material needs by about 50%, and from 3" to 4" by about 33%, so expect a roughly proportional increase in material cost (for example, a 1,000 sq ft drive would move from ~6.2 yd at 2" to ~9.3 yd at 3").
The most budget-friendly option for driveways is usually a 'crusher run' or driveway mix (a blend of fines and larger stone) because it compacts well and is widely available. Crushed stone (clean stone) is typically a bit more expensive but offers better drainage and stability, while shell or coquina can be cheaper near the Gulf Coast but may break down faster under traffic; local availability determines exact pricing.
You can have gravel dumped over grass, but it is not recommended for a long-lasting driveway. Proper prep—removing vegetation, installing geotextile fabric, edging, and compacting—gives the best results; lack of prep can lead to rutting and mixing with soil. Drivers may refuse to dump on very soft ground, and some suppliers may charge extra for difficult access, long carry distances, or for offloading by hand.
A standard tri-axle dump truck commonly used in our network carries about 10 to 14 cubic yards; smaller tandem trucks carry 6 to 10 cubic yards. A 7x14 dump trailer usually holds roughly 1.5 to 3 cubic yards. At a 3-inch depth, one 10- to 12-yard truckload will cover about 1,080 to 1,296 sq ft (10 yd -> ~1,080 sq ft; 12 yd -> ~1,296 sq ft).
Costs vary with driveway width and soil conditions; assuming a single-car width of 10 to 12 ft and a 3" gravel depth (about 2 to 2.5 cubic yards), materials and delivery alone might be $100 to $300 locally. Adding base prep, edging, compaction, and labor typically pushes total installed cost into the $600 to $1,500 range, depending on site access, whether existing material must be removed, and the edging material chosen.
In Brandon's humid, rainy climate a well-built gravel driveway can last many years but typically needs periodic maintenance: light grading and re-compacting yearly and topping up every 2 to 5 years. Annual upkeep costs are modest for most homeowners—often $50 to $200 for regrading and small material additions—while a larger top-up (several cubic yards) every few years may cost $200 to $800 depending on size and material chosen.
Gravel is substantially cheaper upfront for materials and delivery; a typical gravel driveway for a given area will usually cost a few hundred to a few thousand dollars installed, while poured concrete typically costs several thousand to tens of thousands depending on size and finish. Over time, gravel requires more regular maintenance (grading, adding stone), but even with periodic upkeep, many homeowners find gravel remains less expensive over a 10- to 20-year span; exact totals depend on traffic, site prep needs, and local contractor rates.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

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.
