Gravel For Coastal Drainage And Erosion • Next-Day Gravel Delivery When Available
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.
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 cedarkey Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Cedar Key has a city population of 800 and sits within a growing West Florida metro area with a population of 2.5+ million. The region is expanding at a 2.50% annual rate and sits in USDA Hardiness Zone 8b, with 228 sunny days per year and 34.00 inches of annual rainfall. Those conditions—sun, salt air, sandy soils, and periodic heavy rains—drive steady demand for durable, well-draining aggregates for driveways, pathways, shoreline stabilization, and foundation backfill. Homeowners and small contractors in Cedar Key prioritize materials that resist washout, compact reliably, and blend with local coastal soils, so clear product specs and accurate deliveries are especially important for project success.Popular Projects in cedarkey This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - cedarkey gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in cedarkey.
Typical delivered prices in the Cedarkey area vary by material and distance, but expect a range of about $300 to $800 per tri-axle load (roughly 10 to 12 cubic yards). Per cubic yard prices commonly sit between $30 and $70, which converts to roughly $40 to $100 per ton depending on stone density. Local supplier, material type, and delivery distance to Cedarkey cause most of the variation, so check your zip code on Hello Gravel for exact quotes.
Coverage depends on the gravel density, but a practical rule is to use cubic-yard math first. One ton is roughly 0.7 to 1.0 cubic yards depending on the product; using 0.7 cu yd gives about 115 sq ft at 2", 77 sq ft at 3", and 57 sq ft at 4". For more precise planning, use a calculator or request a material-specific estimate from Hello Gravel based on the product you'll order.
For 1,000 sq ft: 2" requires about 6.2 cubic yards, 3" about 9.3 cu yd, and 4" about 12.3 cu yd. Using a typical conversion of 1.4 tons per cubic yard, that equals roughly 8.6 tons (2"), 13.0 tons (3"), and 17.3 tons (4"). At local delivered rates of $30 to $70 per cubic yard, expect a material-only cost between about $185 and $860 depending on depth and material; get an exact Cedarkey quote on Hello Gravel for final pricing.
Installed costs depend on width, base condition, and labor, but rough installed price ranges for Cedarkey are $3 to $8 per sq ft for a basic gravel driveway with base prep and compaction. For a 20 ft long driveway (assume a 10 ft width = 200 sq ft) expect about $600 to $1,600. For a 20x20 (400 sq ft) driveway expect about $1,200 to $3,200, with higher costs for heavy base work, drainage, or premium materials; request a local estimate through Hello Gravel for a job-specific price.
Generally no; a 2" wearing layer alone is not sufficient in Florida, where sandy soils, heavy rains, and occasional trucks require a deeper base. We recommend at least 4" to 6" of compacted base material (crusher run or road base) plus a 1" to 2" wearing layer of clean gravel for a long-lasting residential driveway. If your site has poor drainage or soft soil, additional base depth or geotextile stabilization should be considered.
In West Florida, crusher run (also called road base), crushed limestone, and shell-rock blends are common and perform well. Crusher run compacts tightly for a stable base; crushed limestone provides good drainage and a clean finish; coastal shell mixes are economical and local in some areas around Cedarkey. For cost-effectiveness, choose locally sourced crusher run or limestone; Hello Gravel can show locally available options and pricing for your zip code.
Yes, compaction is important for a stable surface. For base layers, use a vibratory plate compactor or a small vibratory roller to achieve a firm, well-graded base; the wearing layer is usually lightly compacted with a plate compactor or driven over. For larger jobs, contractors commonly use a 3-ton or larger roller; for small DIY projects, a 1,200 to 2,000 lb plate compactor rented for a day usually works well.
A well-built gravel driveway in Cedarkey can last 10 to 20 years with regular maintenance, but periodic attention is needed. Expect to regrade and add 1 to 3 inches of gravel every 2 to 5 years depending on traffic and rainfall; regrading by a contractor typically costs $100 to $400 locally, while topping up costs follow delivered gravel prices (for example, 1 to 3 tons at $30 to $70 per cubic yard/ton). Regular maintenance like filling ruts and improving drainage greatly extends lifespan.
The most economical route is bulk delivery by dump truck from a local supplier or quarry, which minimizes handling costs. Picking up gravel yourself from a nearby quarry or supplier can save delivery fees if you have the right vehicle, while buying bagged material from big-box stores is the most expensive per cubic yard. Price differences typically range from bagged product being 30% to 100% more expensive than bulk delivered gravel; use Hello Gravel to compare local suppliers and delivery rates for Cedarkey.
Products that reduce movement include gravel stabilizer grids, polymer-treated binders, and resin-bound or compacted crushed stone mixes. Stabilizer grids and polymer binders help lock gravel in place and cut dust, and they work in Florida's climate but increase installed cost significantly (stabilizer grid or polymer systems commonly add $3 to $10+ per sq ft to the base gravel cost). For driveways needing a near-hard surface, consider resin-bound or permeable pavers, but get a local estimate since these systems require professional installation and higher upfront cost.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.
