Why Dover Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Dover has a city population of 15,560 and sits within a rapidly expanding regional market — a West Florida metro area with a metro area population of 2.5+ million and a 2.50% annual growth rate. That growth, combined with Dover's warm, coastal-adjacent climate (hardiness zone 8b), 228 sunny days per year, and 34.00 inches of annual rainfall, is driving steady demand for outdoor projects from new driveways and walkways to drainage upgrades and landscape renovations. Homeowners in Dover often need aggregates that handle heavy sun, periodic heavy rain, and sandy native soils; well-graded, angular gravel that drains well and compacts reliably answers those needs and reduces standing water and erosion on properties.Popular Projects in Dover This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Dover gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Dover.
In Dover, delivered gravel usually ranges from about $30 to $70 per ton depending on type (pea gravel, #57, crushed stone), color, and local supplier availability. Decorative or specialty aggregates tend to sit at the higher end of that range. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order and delivery fees or free delivery depend on your zip code and supplier.
For Dover's hot, wet conditions, crushed stone with some fines (commonly called 3/4" minus or crusher run) is a good base because it compacts well and sheds water. Top with #57 stone or 3/8" crushed stone for a more stable surface and better drainage. Avoid very fine sand mixes that wash out easily; consider edging and proper grade to help control stormwater.
Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers who deliver by dump truck (typically tri-axle). Standard delivery is scheduled for 2+ business days, with next-day delivery available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Add delivery notes in checkout for preferred drop location, and remember tailgate spreading is possible but at the driver's discretion.
As a rule of thumb, for a driveway topcoat use 3 inches of material; a 12 ft by 50 ft single-car driveway (600 sq ft) needs about 5.5 cubic yards, roughly 7.5 to 8.5 tons depending on stone density. For a larger two-car driveway (20 ft by 50 ft, 1,000 sq ft) youd need about 9.3 cubic yards or roughly 13 tons. Order 10-20% extra to allow for compaction, grading, and waste.
A well-built gravel driveway in Dover can serve for 5 to 15 years before a major refresh is needed, with regular small maintenance (regrading, filling ruts) more frequently. Expect to add material every 1-5 years depending on traffic and storms; top-ups are often 1-3 tons and material costs follow local per-ton pricing. Professional regrading or repairs can range from about $150 to $800 for small drives, depending on scope and access.
Gravel is low-cost, permeable, and easy to install but needs more upkeep and can migrate in heavy rains. Crushed shell fits coastal Florida aesthetics and drains well but can compact into a crust and can be tracked into the house. Pavers give the lowest maintenance and best finished look but cost significantly more up front and require proper base work to avoid settling in wet soils.
Geotextile fabric is strongly recommended in Dover when building over sandy, silty, or soft soils because it reduces mixing of subgrade and aggregate and improves long-term stability. Material alone typically costs about $0.25 to $1.00 per square foot, with installed cost higher depending on labor and overlap needs. It is especially worthwhile on slopes, driveways with poor subgrade, or areas with standing water.
Professional installation prices in the wider West Florida region commonly run from around $0.50 to $2.50 per square foot depending on site prep, depth of base, drainage work, and local labor rates. A straightforward single-car driveway install might land in the low thousands, while more complex jobs with grading and geotextile can be several thousand dollars. Hello Gravel can supply material and delivery; get local contractor quotes for full installation pricing.
For garden paths, 3/8" pea gravel or 1/4" to 3/8" crushed stone makes a comfortable, attractive walking surface. For drainage and French drains use larger angular stone like #57 (about 1/2" to 1") which allows water to flow through. Combine a geotextile layer under the stone to keep fines out of the drainage rock and improve longevity.
Gravel can handle moderate rain if the driveway has proper slope, compaction, and edge restraints, but heavy storms and sheet flow will cause washouts without good drainage. Prevent erosion by installing stable edges, swales or French drains to divert runoff, using geotextile underlayment, and placing larger base stone on slopes. Regular regrading after major storms and adding vegetation or retaining structures where appropriate will keep gravel in place longer.

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.
