Gravel in Indian River Park, FL

A typical tri-axle dump truck for gravel carries about 10 to 12 tons.

Bulk gravel in the Florida Region commonly runs about $25 to $60 per ton delivered, which translates to roughly $35 to $85 per cubic yard delivered. Densities vary by material, so for estimating use 1 cubic yard = about 1.3 to 1.5 tons (1.4 tons/yd3 is a useful rule of thumb). For an exact price we recommend getting a written quote for the specific gravel type you need.

A 12'x50' driveway is 600 square feet. For a 3-inch layer you need about 5.6 cubic yards (≈7.8 tons) and for a 4-inch layer about 7.4 cubic yards (≈10.4 tons). Using the local price range of $25 to $60 per ton, material + delivery would be roughly $195 to $468 for 3 inches and $260 to $624 for 4 inches; spreading and compaction by a contractor will add separate labor or equipment charges.

River rock is heavier and usually costs more than crushed stone; in the Indian River Park area expect about $60 to $150 per cubic yard delivered depending on size and source.

Equipment rental prices vary: a plate compactor may be $50 to $150 per day and a skid-steer or bobcat $200 to $400 per day, while contractor hourly labor is commonly $50 to $100 per hour.

Indian River Park's coastal climate and sandy native soils mean drainage and salt tolerance are important considerations. Washed shell, crushed limestone, or angular crushed stone with a well-graded base can perform better than rounded river rock for driveways because they lock together and resist shifting. Tell us about your site's slope, drainage, and exposure and we can recommend materials commonly sourced in the Florida Region.

Drivers will usually dump in the location you request at checkout or at a spot agreed on arrival, but they will assess safety and access upon arrival and may refuse to dump where property damage or unsafe conditions are likely. Note driveway width, overhead lines, fences, and soft ground in your order notes, and consider appointing someone on site to direct the driver. If access requires smaller trucks or extra handling, additional fees may apply and can be included in your quote.
