Why Duck Key Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Duck Key is a small but active coastal community with a city population of 350 and steady development pressure. With a growth rate of 2.50% annually and a sunny, subtropical climate (hardiness zone 8b) that averages 228 sunny days per year and 34.00 inches of rainfall annually, homeowners here face unique landscaping and drainage challenges. Salt air, sandy soils, and occasional heavy rain increase demand for durable, well-draining aggregates for driveways, paver bases, dry creek beds, and erosion control. Quality gravel helps protect coastal landscapes by improving drainage, reducing washout, and providing a stable surface that stands up to sun, salt, and shifting soils—important considerations for Duck Key properties undergoing upgrades or new installations.Popular Projects in Duck Key This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Duck Key gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Duck Key.
Material prices in the Florida Keys vary by type, but expect common gravels and crushed limestone or shell to range roughly $40 to $90 per ton delivered. Delivery fees to Duck Key can add $75 to $400 or more depending on truck type, distance, and access; remote or off-road drops cost extra. For an accurate price, enter your zip code on Hello Gravel or request a quote so suppliers can factor local availability and truck access.
Crushed shell is very popular in coastal Florida for its local look and good drainage, but it can break down faster and may shift in storms. Crushed limestone is durable and resists salt spray better than shell, while pea gravel offers good drainage and a smooth finish but can migrate under traffic. Choose material based on desired appearance, expected traffic, and whether you need a finer surface for walkways or a more stable base for driveways.
Duck Key sits on US-1, so most deliveries by dump truck are possible; Hello Gravel connects you to local suppliers and haulers who know island access. Minimum orders typically start at 3 tons, and standard delivery is 2+ business days with next-day options for orders placed early. If a site has tight access, steep driveways, or special placement needs, note that in the order and expect possible extra charges or driver assessment on arrival.

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.
