Gravel in Margate, FL

In Margate a typical tri-axle dump truck carries about 10 to 12 tons of gravel. Expect delivered prices to vary widely by material and supplier, commonly in the $300 to $900 range per truckload; heavy or decorative gravels cost more. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order and regional pricing, so check your zip code for exact quotes and available delivery dates.

One ton of gravel typically covers about 80 to 100 sq ft at 1 inch depth, or roughly 40 to 50 sq ft at 2 inches. Coverage changes with gravel type and compaction, so use these as estimates. For Margate projects, check local supplier specs or use Hello Gravel’s material calculator for a precise number.

Cost depends on depth and material. For example, 1,000 sq ft at 2 inches needs about 6.2 cubic yards (roughly 8 to 9 tons); if gravel is $40 to $60 per ton delivered, expect around $320 to $540 for material plus any delivery fees. Local Florida materials and heavy-rain considerations can affect the exact amount, so get a quote for your zip code.

No, 2 inches is generally too thin for a driveway that sees vehicle traffic. For light residential use plan on a minimum of 3 inches, and 4 to 6 inches is better for regular car traffic and to withstand Margate’s rainy seasons. Always prepare a compacted base and consider drainage to prevent rutting.

A common choice is 3/4" crushed stone (or '3/4 minus' with fines) for a stable, compactable surface. For the base layer contractors often use larger crushed stone or crusher run, then top with a finer mix or crushed stone for a smooth finish. In Margate’s climate choose materials that compact well and allow surface drainage to handle heavy rain.

Locally the least expensive options are typically bankrun, crusher run, or screenings because they are common and need less processing. Prices vary by supplier and regional supply, so savings depend on availability in the Margate area. If budget is tight, ask Hello Gravel about reclaimed or recycled aggregate options that may cost less.

Buying in bulk and scheduling a direct dump delivery is usually the most economical route in Margate, since freight and handling drive up cost for bagged material. Combine orders with neighbors or choose common local materials like crusher run to lower per-ton cost. Always compare delivered price including the minimum 3-ton order requirement when using Hello Gravel.

Per ton, sand is often slightly cheaper than many decorative gravels, but pricing depends on type and availability. Because sand and gravel differ in weight and coverage, total project cost can flip depending on the depth you need and delivery fees. Get line-item pricing for both materials in your zip code to compare accurately.

A 20x20 area (400 sq ft) at 4 inches depth needs about 5 cubic yards of material, which is roughly 6 to 8 tons depending on type. With typical delivered gravel prices in Margate, expect material costs in the $250 to $600 range, plus any spreading or compaction. Final price varies by gravel choice and whether you need additional base work or drainage.

For a 100-foot-long by 12-foot-wide driveway (1,200 sq ft) at a 4-inch depth you’ll need about 15 cubic yards, or roughly 20 to 25 tons. At common delivered rates, material cost can range from about $800 to $2,000 total, which works out to roughly $8 to $20 per linear foot. Prices vary by material, delivery, and site prep needs, so request a Margate-specific quote for accuracy.

Typically you do not lay loose sand before a gravel driveway; a compacted crushed-stone base, proper grading, and geotextile fabric are more effective. Sand is useful under pavers or for bedding but will migrate under traffic and in heavy Margate rains if used as a base. Talk to your Hello Gravel rep about the right base structure for your project and local soil conditions.

Delivered cost for 10 cubic yards in Margate depends on material and supplier, but a common range is $300 to $1,000 or more. Heavy, decorative, or specialty gravels sit at the higher end, while common crushed stone or crusher run is at the lower end. Because Hello Gravel uses regional suppliers and a 3-ton minimum, request a zip-code quote to get an exact delivered price.

A 55-gallon container is about 7.4 cubic feet, so you would need roughly 7 to 8 cubic feet of gravel to fill it. That equals about 0.25 to 0.5 tons depending on the gravel density. For small amounts like this in Margate, consider buying bagged gravel at local retailers or ordering a small pallet rather than a full bulk delivery given Hello Gravel’s 3-ton minimum.

As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.
