Why Hawthorne Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Hawthorne is a growing community with a population of 8,280, located in a warm, sun-rich region that supports steady construction and landscaping demand. With a 2.50% annual growth rate and a metro area population of 2.5+ million, homeowners and contractors are investing in new driveways, patios, drainage upgrades, and garden beds. The local climate—hardiness zone 8b with about 228/year sunny days and 34.00 inches of rain annually—means materials must handle both long, dry spells and seasonal downpours. That combination drives need for durable, well-draining aggregates that resist rutting, prevent erosion, and minimize maintenance. Local geology also shapes color and texture, so buying from nearby suppliers helps ensure material blends with your yard and performs as expected. Gravel is a practical choice for Hawthorne projects because it sheds water quickly, stabilizes surfaces, and tolerates sun exposure without significant breakdown. Grades like angular crushed stone or 3/4"-1" washed gravel perform well as driveway bases, French drains, permeable walkways, and erosion-control berms in this climate. Hello Gravel connects you with trusted local suppliers and professional dump-truck delivery, offering clear pricing, scheduled dates, and expert guidance on gradation and coverage. Request tailgate spreading at checkout and our team will advise on the right gravel to handle Hawthorne weather and site conditions.Popular Projects in Hawthorne This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Hawthorne gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Hawthorne.
Delivered gravel in Hawthorne generally varies by material and delivery distance; expect a rough range of $30 to $60 per ton or $40 to $80 per cubic yard for common gravels. Exact pricing depends on stone type, truck access, and minimum order (Hello Gravel minimum is 3 tons), so check our checkout for a localized quote and any delivery fees.
For Hawthorne and West Florida, crushed limestone and crushed stone screenings are often best because they compact well and shed water. Shell and pea gravel are common locally but can shift or break down under vehicle traffic; shell is more typical near the coast and may require more maintenance.
Hot, humid summers and periodic heavy rains can wash fines out of loose mixes and cause rutting if the base is weak. Choose a well-graded, compactable material and install proper drainage to reduce washout and rutting in West Florida conditions.
A common rule: calculate area (length x width) and multiply by depth. For example, a 1-car driveway 10' x 20' (200 sq ft) at 3 inches depth needs about 1.9 cubic yards (roughly 2.3 to 2.9 tons depending on material density). For 2-car (20' x 20') or 3-car driveways, scale area and use a 3-4 inch top layer with a 4-6 inch compacted base if you expect heavier loads.
Gravel is typically the lowest upfront cost and easier to install, but it requires regular maintenance (regrading and adding material). Asphalt and pavers cost more initially but offer lower routine maintenance and better curb appeal; consider budget, maintenance willingness, and local drainage when choosing.
Regulations vary; some properties and HOAs have rules on driveway materials, setbacks, or stormwater requirements. Check Alachua County building and zoning offices and your HOA covenants before installing a gravel driveway to confirm any permit or surfacing rules.
Hello Gravel serves Hawthorne when suppliers in the area are available; delivery is typically by tri-axle dump truck with a 3-ton minimum order. Standard delivery is 2+ business days, next-day possible for orders placed before noon CST (additional fee), and drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion — note access limits like low wires or narrow driveways can affect placement.
Clear the drop area of vehicles and obstacles, mark the preferred drop zone, and note overhead wires or tight turns in order notes. If you need material placed in a specific area, request spreading at checkout but expect the driver to assess safety and feasibility on arrival.
In sandy or coastal-influenced soils common around Hawthorne, start with a stable subbase: remove soft organic soil, add a 4-6 inch compacted base of larger, angular stone (3/4" minus), install geotextile fabric to limit mixing with native sand, then top with a 2-3 inch layer of compactable screenings or crushed stone. Edge restraints and proper compaction help prevent migration and rutting in heavy rain.
Expect light maintenance every 6-12 months and more after heavy storms: regrade ruts, add 1/2 to 1 inch of material where low spots form, and compact. Use pre-emergent herbicide and pull weeds as needed; in high-traffic or wash-prone areas, plan to add material more frequently.
Plan for active drainage: include a slight crown or slope on driveways, install swales or French drains where runoff concentrates, and use filter fabric or rock-lined swales to slow water. Because Hawthorne gets heavy downpours, curb the edges with timbers or pavers and consider check-dams or planted buffers to prevent gravel loss during storms.
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.
