Decomposed Granite
Known for its natural look, this compact, durable material drains well and holds up in high-traffic areas.

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 Fort Myers Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Fort Myers sits in a rapidly expanding market: the city has a population of 288,108 and the Cape Coral-Fort Myers metro area tops 2.3+ million. Local growth of 2.50% annually, 230 sunny days per year, and a mild hardiness zone 8b drive steady residential development and outdoor living projects. With an annual rainfall of 34.00 inches and sandy native soils, homeowners and contractors frequently need aggregates that manage water, stabilize driveways, and create low-maintenance landscape beds. That combination of growth and climate creates sustained demand for quality gravel for drainage, base layers, and decorative surfaces—especially where erosion control and salt tolerance matter. Homeowners want clear quantity estimates, easy selection guidance, and reliable delivery windows to keep weather-sensitive projects on schedule.Popular Projects in Fort Myers This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Fort Myers gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Fort Myers.
Costs vary by material and truck size, but expect roughly $300 to $1,000 for a typical tri-axle truckload in the Fort Myers area. Price depends on gravel type, local supply, and delivery distance; Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum and provides up-front pricing for your zip code. Contact us for an exact quote for your address and preferred delivery date.
One ton of gravel is about 0.71 cubic yards and will cover roughly 231 sq ft at 1" depth or about 116 sq ft at 2" depth. Actual coverage depends on the gravel size and how compacted you want it, so we recommend calculating using your desired depth before ordering. For Fort Myers lawns and pathways, 2" is common for topping while 3-6" is typical for structural bases.
For 1,000 sq ft at 2" depth you need about 6.17 cubic yards or roughly 8.6 tons. At typical Fort Myers per-ton prices the material cost could range from about $250 to $700, with final delivered price depending on aggregate type, delivery fees, and any spreading service. Use our material calculator or request a quote for a precise price for your zip code.
Buying bulk delivered is usually the most cost-effective option for homeowner projects in Fort Myers, since per-ton prices drop when you order more material. Other lower-cost options include reclaimed crushed concrete or recycled asphalt from local suppliers, or arranging a pickup if you have a vehicle that can haul the load. Keep in mind minimum order sizes and delivery logistics—Hello Gravel can show you the most economical local options for your project.
Costs depend on depth and material: for a 20x20 (400 sq ft) area at 2" depth you need about 3.5 cubic yards or ~5 tons. Expect installed material costs (delivered) in Fort Myers of roughly $400 to $1,600 for that size, depending on gravel type and whether you pay for spreading or compaction. For full driveways with proper base work, add costs for excavation, geotextile fabric, and compaction—get a detailed quote for project-level pricing.
No, 2" of gravel is generally too thin for a driveway. In South Florida's sandy soils and rainy climate we recommend a compacted base of 4" to 6" of crushed stone or base material plus a 1" to 3" wearing layer on top, especially for vehicle traffic. Proper base preparation and drainage are important in Fort Myers to prevent rutting and washout.
A 7x14 dump trailer can hold roughly 4 to 7 cubic yards depending on the sidewall height and whether the load is level or mounded. Exact capacity varies by trailer model; check your trailer's manufacturer rating for a safe maximum. For most homeowner tasks, a tri-axle dump truck is a common delivery option and carries more material than a small trailer.
For a 10x10 area (100 sq ft) at 2" depth you need about 0.86 tons (≈0.6 cubic yards). If you want 4" depth double that to about 1.7 tons (≈1.2 cubic yards). Always round up slightly to allow for compaction and settling, and remember Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum for delivery.
Locally, crushed concrete or crushed shell blends tend to be among the least expensive options because they are recycled or locally abundant. Natural limestone or decorative colored gravels usually cost more. Consider availability in Cape Coral-Fort Myers, and ask our team to compare local options and pricing for your zip code.
Gravel itself doesn't 'go bad,' but surface gravel on driveways and pathways typically needs replenishing every 2 to 5 years in Fort Myers due to rain, runoff, and vehicle traffic. With proper base preparation, compaction, and periodic top dressing, a well-built gravel installation can function effectively for many years. High-wear areas or hurricane-related washouts may require more frequent maintenance.
A common choice for driveways is a compactable crushed stone such as 3/4" minus (a mix of stone and fines) for the base and a 3/8" to 3/4" clean stone or pea gravel for the top layer, depending on desired look. In Fort Myers you may also see shell-based mixes; pick a size that compacts well and drains in heavy rain. If you want a decorative surface, ask about locally sourced colors and textures when ordering.
Recycled crushed concrete, reclaimed asphalt, and local seashell or shell rock can be less expensive than some decorative gravels in the Fort Myers area. Decomposed granite is another option for low-traffic paths but may not be suitable where heavy loads or frequent wetting occur. Evaluate drainage, compaction needs, and appearance before choosing an alternative.
Fort Myers' sandy soils, heavy rain events, and coastal salt exposure affect how gravel performs—good drainage and a stable base are critical to prevent washout and rutting. Choose materials that compact well and consider geotextile fabric and proper grading to direct water away from the surface. Our team can recommend gravel types and installation tips tailored to Fort Myers weather and soil conditions.
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.
