Gravel in Dinsmore, FL

Delivered cost depends on gravel type, amount, and distance. For West Florida deliveries to Dinsmore, expect common driveway gravel to land roughly between $30 and $70 per ton delivered; decorative gravels can be higher. Small residential jobs often run from about $300 to $1,200 total depending on quantity and material.

For stability in sandy soil, angular crushed stone (for example 3/4" crushed stone or crusher run) is usually best because it locks together and compacts well. Washed gravel or #57 stone are good for walkways where drainage matters, while pea gravel and rounded river rock tend to shift under vehicle traffic and are less ideal for driveways. In coastal West Florida, consider mixes with a compactable base and a top layer suited to your look and traffic needs.

For 1,000 sq ft: 2" equals about 6.17 cubic yards (roughly 7.4–9.9 tons), 3" equals about 9.26 cubic yards (roughly 11.1–14.8 tons), and 4" equals about 12.35 cubic yards (roughly 14.8–19.8 tons). Ton ranges reflect typical gravel densities (about 1.2–1.6 tons per cubic yard); exact weight varies by material. Use Hello Gravel's material calculator or contact us for a precise estimate for your chosen gravel type.

Heavy rain and coastal storms increase the risk of washout, rutting, and settling, especially on flat or poorly drained sites. Proper grading, a crowned driveway, adequate sub-base (larger rock or crusher run), and geotextile fabric help keep gravel stable and drain water away. For low spots or areas with standing water, consider larger stone at the base or installing a simple French drain to protect the gravel surface.

Costs vary by scope and local labor rates, but expect material plus basic professional prep (excavation, geotextile, compacted base, and top dressing) to commonly fall within a broad range. Many homeowners pay anywhere from modest hundreds for small repairs to several thousand dollars for a full driveway overhaul; exact quotes depend on driveway size, access, and needed excavation. We recommend getting at least two local contractor quotes and using Hello Gravel to price out materials separately so you can compare labor and material costs.

Gravel is generally the lowest upfront cost and provides excellent drainage, but it requires periodic regrading and topping up. Crushed shell is popular on Florida coasts for appearance and drainage, but it can break down and shift under heavy traffic. Pavers cost more up front but offer durability and minimal yearly maintenance; they also handle storms differently and may need edge restraints and proper base layers to avoid settling.

Permitting and HOA rules vary; Dinsmore is in the Jacksonville/Duval County area, so check Duval County building and zoning rules and any neighborhood HOA guidelines before you start. Some jurisdictions require driveway permits for curb cuts or changes to stormwater runoff; HOAs often have rules on material type and appearance. Contact your county building office and your HOA to confirm requirements before ordering materials.

Plan for annual light maintenance like raking, filling ruts, and topping up 1/4" to 1" of gravel as needed, and more thorough regrading every 2–4 years depending on traffic and storms. Topping up typically requires a few tons; with Hello Gravel's minimum order of 3 tons, many homeowners can refresh small areas for a modest cost. Cost depends on material and delivery, but budgeting for occasional small deliveries and possible professional regrading will extend the life of the surface.

Hello Gravel works with a nationwide network of local suppliers and contracted haulers that serve West Florida including the Dinsmore area; availability depends on your zip code. Deliveries are made by dump trucks (typically tri-axle) with a minimum order of 3 tons; standard delivery is 2+ business days and next-day options are available for orders placed before noon CST. Tailgate spreading may be offered at the driver's discretion—request it at checkout, but note there are no guarantees and additional contractor services may be needed for full spreading and grading.

A compactable mix with angular stone and some fines—such as crusher run or a compacted base with 3/4" crushed stone topped with washed stone—resists rutting better than rounded pea gravel. Installing geotextile fabric under the base and maintaining good drainage reduces weed pressure and keeps stones from sinking into sandy subsoil. For driveways with heavy use, consider a thicker compacted base and periodic re-compaction to minimize rutting and migration.

As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.
