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 Lake Wales Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Lake Wales has a city population of 34,180 and sits within a rapidly growing regional economy—part of a metro area exceeding 2.5+ million residents with a 2.50% annual growth rate. The local climate (USDA hardiness zone 8b, about 228 sunny days per year and roughly 34.00 inches of rain annually) supports year-round outdoor projects, from driveway installs to low-maintenance landscape overhauls. As development continues, homeowners and small contractors increasingly need reliable aggregates for drainage, erosion control, base layers, and decorative surfacing. Quality gravel helps protect investments by improving water management, stabilizing walking and driving surfaces, and cutting long-term maintenance in Lake Wales’s sun and seasonal rains.Popular Projects in Lake Wales This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Lake Wales gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Lake Wales.
Retail gravel prices in the Lake Wales/West Florida area typically range from about $30 to $65 per ton depending on material (pea gravel, crushed limestone, shell) and color. Contractors buying bulk may see lower per-ton rates around $20 to $40 for common base and driveway blends when ordering larger volumes. Prices vary by supplier and season, so get a local quote through Hello Gravel to see exact pricing for your zip code.
Hello Gravel connects you with several local suppliers and contracted haulers serving Lake Wales and Polk County; we source regionally so materials reflect local geology. Standard delivery is typically 2 or more business days from order confirmation, and next-day delivery is often available if placed before the cutoff (check availability at checkout). Lead times can change with weather and demand, so confirm your preferred delivery date on our site or call our team.
For Lake Wales, crushed limestone is a common choice because it compacts well and creates a solid driving surface, while crushed shell provides a local look and drains well but can break down over time. Pea gravel is attractive but does not compact strongly and can shift on slopes or sandy soils, so it is best used as a top layer over a compacted base. For drainage areas use larger angular stone (1/2" to 1") or gap-graded mixes to allow water through while preventing clogging.
Use the rule: cubic yards = (area in sq ft * depth in ft) / 27, then multiply by about 1.4 tons per cubic yard (approximate). Example estimates for 3"–4" depth: 10x20 driveway needs about 2.6 to 3.5 tons; 12x24 needs about 3.7 to 5.0 tons; 20x40 needs about 10.4 to 13.8 tons. These are approximate; round up for compaction and future settling and note Hello Gravel minimum order is 3 tons.
Rules vary by neighborhood and HOA; Polk County and the City of Lake Wales may have specific requirements for driveway widths, curb cuts, and impervious surface calculations. Before ordering gravel, check with your HOA and city planning or building department to confirm any permit or design rules. If you need documentation for permits, Hello Gravel can provide product descriptions and delivery details to help with applications.
Lake Wales sees seasonal heavy rain and warm temperatures that can cause loose gravel to rut, wash into drains, or sink into sandy soils if the base is not stabilized. Installing geotextile fabric and a compacted crushed-stone base reduces migration and rutting; stabilizers (resin binders or grids) add longevity on driveways and high-traffic areas. For most residential driveways in sandy or clay transition zones, fabric plus a compacted base is a cost-effective first step; consider stabilizers where you want a low-maintenance, lockable surface.
Contractor rates vary, but typical local charges for spreading and compacting delivered gravel often run from about $15 to $40 per ton on top of material costs, depending on site difficulty and access. Edging can add roughly $5 to $20 per linear foot depending on material (timber, stone, metal), and periodic maintenance or top-ups are usually quoted by job. Always get at least two written estimates from local contractors and ask what is included (grading, compaction, edging, cleanup).
Yes, resin binders, gravel grids, and permeable paving systems are available locally and through suppliers Hello Gravel partners with, but costs vary widely based on product and installation. Expect installed prices to range from moderate to premium compared with loose gravel; stabilizers are more likely to be worth the cost in Lake Wales if you have loose sandy soils, steep slopes, or want reduced maintenance. Ask for product samples and local references, and request an installed-cost quote to compare long-term savings versus periodic regrading and topping up.

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.
