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).

Intended to be compacted, hence the inclusion of fines within the material to provide support and be resistant to erosion and shifting.

Why Highlands County Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Highlands County serves a community with a city population of 105,000 and is part of a larger metro area of 2.3+ million. With a steady growth rate of 0.69% annually, demand for residential improvements—driveways, patios, drainage upgrades, and small commercial projects—is rising. The local climate, in hardiness zone 8b, averages 228 sunny days and 33.69 inches of rainfall per year, which supports year-round work but also produces occasional heavy storms and surface runoff. For homeowners, properly specified gravel helps manage that runoff, stabilizes surfaces, and reduces long-term maintenance. Quality aggregates are sought to prevent washouts, limit dust, and provide a durable surface that stands up to Highlands County’s climate and developing neighborhoods.Popular Projects in Highlands County This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Highlands County gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Highlands County.
Costs vary by material and truck size. A typical tri-axle dump truck in the area carries roughly 10-14 tons; for common crushed limestone or base gravel expect an approximate range of $300 to $800 per load, while decorative or specialty gravels can be higher. Exact pricing depends on material type, local supplier rates, and delivery distance, so request a quote on Hello Gravel for a precise price.
Gravel prices in Florida generally range roughly $20 to $60 per ton (about $25 to $75 per cubic yard) depending on type—base rock and limerock are on the lower end, decorative gravels are on the higher end. Regional availability and truck delivery fees influence the final cost in Highlands County, so use Hello Gravel to compare local supplier quotes for the most accurate price.
Cost depends on width, depth, and material. For example, a 20 ft long by 10 ft wide driveway at 3" depth needs about 1.9 cubic yards (roughly 2.5 to 3.0 tons) and might cost $75 to $300 for material and delivery depending on gravel type; using a compacted limestone base or crusher run increases cost but improves longevity. For a firm estimate, provide your driveway dimensions and desired material on Hello Gravel to get local supplier quotes.
Twenty tons of typical gravel is roughly 14 to 16 cubic yards (depends on material density). At a 3" finished depth that covers about 1,400 to 1,700 square feet; for a 12 ft wide driveway that works out to about 115 to 142 feet long. If you need a different depth (2" or 4"), coverage will change, so confirm depth when calculating.
Buying in bulk (per ton) from a local supplier and arranging straight dump delivery is usually the most economical option. Choose locally sourced base materials like limerock or pit-run gravel, avoid decorative mixes, and compare quotes on Hello Gravel to find the best rate. If you can pick up material yourself and have a suitable vehicle, that can reduce cost but check minimum order sizes and truck requirements first.
It depends on the scope and skill required. For general labor or spreading gravel, typical hourly rates for basic crews are usually lower, but $100 per hour can be reasonable for specialized operators, equipment rental with operator, or small contractors doing skilled site prep. Always get itemized quotes, check references, and compare local rates before agreeing to hourly charges.
One cubic yard equals 27 cubic feet and will cover about 161 sq ft at 2" depth, 108 sq ft at 3" depth, or 81 sq ft at 4" depth. In weight terms, one cubic yard of common gravel usually weighs about 1.2 to 1.6 tons (commonly cited around 1.4 tons), so weight-based orders should account for that range. Use your desired finished depth to convert cubic yards to the area you need.
Use Hello Gravel to check your zip code and get matched with local suppliers and contracted haulers serving Sebring, Lake Placid, Avon Park, and surrounding areas. Hello Gravel handles scheduling, compares local pricing, and coordinates dump-truck delivery (minimum order 3 tons and typical tri-axle trucks). If you prefer, you can also contact nearby quarries and landscape supply yards directly, but Hello Gravel simplifies comparison shopping and delivery coordination.
Possibly. Highlands County or a municipality may require permits if your work affects county right-of-way, driveway access to a county road, or stormwater/drainage patterns, and many HOAs have covenants about driveway materials and appearance. Before you order material, check with Highlands County Building and Zoning and review your HOA rules to confirm permit and design requirements.
For Highlands County conditions—sandy soils and heavy seasonal rains—a compacted base of crusher-run or limerock topped with 3/4" crushed stone or angular crushed base gives the best balance of price, drainage, and durability. Decorative pea gravel or river rock looks nice but shifts and requires more maintenance and edging; it is usually more expensive and shorter-lived for driveways. Investing in a proper base, compaction, and drainage will increase upfront cost but significantly extend the driveway life and reduce maintenance.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

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.
