Why Jacksonville Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Jacksonville, with a city population of 814,350 and a metro area population of 2.6+ million, is experiencing steady growth at 1.80% annually and a rising need for durable, low-maintenance building materials. The area’s subtropical climate—about 228/year sunny days, 34.25 inches of annual rainfall, and a hardiness zone of 8b—means homeowners deal with strong sun, seasonal heavy rains, and sandy or variable soils near the coast. Those factors drive demand for aggregates that improve drainage, stabilize driveways and pathways, and reduce erosion. As residential and infrastructure projects expand across the region, homeowners increasingly look for reliable, locally sourced gravel that performs well in Jacksonville’s unique conditions. Gravel is well suited to Jacksonville’s mix of sun and rain: angular crushed stone and well-graded gravel layers promote infiltration, shed runoff, and lock together under traffic to resist rutting in sandy soils. Properly chosen gravel helps protect foundations, improve driveway longevity, and control erosion around beds and swales in wet weather. Hello Gravel simplifies getting the right material by connecting you with local suppliers and professional haulers, offering transparent pricing, regionally appropriate products, and scheduled delivery so your project stays on track with materials that match Jacksonville’s geology and climate.Popular Projects in Jacksonville This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Jacksonville gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Jacksonville.
Delivered gravel in Jacksonville commonly ranges from about $25 to $50 per ton depending on material type (pea gravel, crusher run, shell) and distance from the supplier. Installation costs for spreading, grading, and compaction vary by contractor and site complexity and can add a few hundred to over a thousand dollars for a driveway project. For an accurate price, get a local quote through Hello Gravel as regional supply and truck access significantly affect final cost.
Common choices in Jacksonville include crusher run (good for driveways), crushed stone (for drainage and base layers), pea gravel (for walkways and patios), and crushed shell or shell mix (popular near the coast for its local look). Decomposed granite is used for dry, low-traffic paths but can wash out more easily in heavy rain. Choose material based on use: structural driveways need crusher run or crushed stone, decorative areas often use pea gravel or shell.
Hello Gravel connects you with trusted local suppliers and haulers that serve the Jacksonville metro; availability depends on your zip code. Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons, which aligns with many dump-truck delivery minimums. Some local landscape yards may deliver as little as 1 cubic yard but often add delivery fees or have higher minimums, so check quotes for your address.
Jacksonville's sandy subsoils generally provide good natural drainage, but heavy rain and storm surge can cause washout and migration of fines. To resist movement, use a compacted base, geotextile fabric, edge restraints, and proper grading with crown and swales to move water away. In low-lying or flood-prone lots, consider elevating the gravel pad or adding subsurface drainage to reduce storm-related damage.
Permit requirements vary by scope and location, so check Duval County Building and Zoning and any local municipality rules before you start. Routine resurfacing of an existing driveway often does not need a building permit, but curb cuts, new driveways that change stormwater flow, or significant grading may require permits or driveway permits. Also verify HOA rules and neighborhood covenants, since associations frequently have surfacing or appearance requirements.
Estimate cubic yards with: (area in sq ft x depth in inches) / 324, then multiply cubic yards by about 1.4 tons per cubic yard to get tons (this is a common regional average). Example: a 1-car driveway (10 ft x 20 ft = 200 sq ft) at 3 inches needs about 1.85 cubic yards or roughly 2.6 tons; a 2-car driveway (20 ft x 20 ft = 400 sq ft) at 3 inches needs about 3.7 cubic yards or roughly 5.2 tons. Because of compaction and spreading losses, add 10-20% extra material and remember Hello Gravel’s 3-ton minimum for deliveries.
In humid Florida, plan on regular maintenance: regrade and fill low spots at least once a year, add fresh gravel or fines every 2-4 years depending on traffic, and pull or treat weeds as needed. Keep edges restrained and maintain drainage features so water does not pool or wash out material. If you want less frequent upkeep, consider a thicker base, geotextile fabric, and periodic compaction after major storms.
Gravel is typically the lowest initial cost and easiest to install, but it requires ongoing topping, grading, and occasional regrading. Asphalt and pavers have higher upfront costs—pavers are often the most expensive—but they offer a longer-lasting, lower-maintenance surface; asphalt requires periodic sealcoating and occasional repair. Consider expected traffic, budget, and vulnerability to Jacksonville storms: gravel is economical and permeable, while asphalt and pavers better resist migration and washout in high-traffic or heavier-rain areas.
Clear a dedicated dump area with a turnaround or room for a tri-axle truck to offload, mark overhead utilities and low branches, and remove obstacles like parked cars or trailers on delivery day. If you want tailgate spreading, request it at checkout but note drivers do it at their discretion. Also check ground firmness after heavy rain—soft ground can cause truck rutting or refusal to enter—so schedule delivery when site access is stable.
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.
