Gravel in Monticello, FL

Delivered gravel prices in Monticello, FL commonly range from about $35 to $75 per ton including delivery, depending on type and availability. Basic crushed base or local river rock tends to sit at the lower end, while decorative or specialty gravels are toward the higher end. Final price depends on material type, your zip code, access for the truck, and minimum order requirements (Hello Gravel minimum is 3 tons).

For a 20 ft x 50 ft driveway (1,000 sq ft), expect material quantities of roughly 6.2 cubic yards (2u0022 top) up to 12.4 cubic yards (4u0022 top) plus base rock if needed, which is about 8.6 to 17.3 tons. Materials alone typically cost $300 to $900 depending on depth and gravel type; delivery and a standard dump might add $75 to $250. If you include basic base prep and compaction by a contractor, total installed cost in Monticello commonly runs $1,000 to $2,500, depending on site conditions and contractor rates.

For 1,000 sq ft: 2u0022 depth needs about 6.17 cubic yards (≈8.6 tons), 3u0022 needs about 9.26 cubic yards (≈13.0 tons), and 4u0022 needs about 12.35 cubic yards (≈17.3 tons). Using a local delivered price range of $35 to $75 per ton, material cost will be roughly $300 to $650 for 2u0022, $455 to $975 for 3u0022, and $605 to $1,300 for 4u0022. Add delivery fees, possible minimum-order charges, and any spreading/compaction costs for a complete estimate.

In West Florida, crushed stone (like 3/4u0022 crushed stone or crusher run) is often as cheap or slightly cheaper than decorative natural river gravel and usually gives better long-term value for driveways. Crushed stone locks together and compacts better, reducing migration and maintenance in Monticello's wet seasons. Natural rounded gravels look nicer for landscaping but tend to move and require more topping and edging over time.

Crusher run (also called road base or 3/4u0022 minus) is usually the cheapest practical driveway material in Monticello; it contains fines that help bind the surface. Expect delivered costs roughly $30 to $60 per ton ($40 to $85 per cubic yard depending on density and supplier). Prices vary by local supply, truck access, and whether you need additional base or compaction services.

A common tri-axle dump truck in our delivery network carries about 10 to 12 cubic yards of gravel, which typically weighs about 14 to 18 tons depending on material density. At $35 to $75 per ton, a single delivered truckload often costs between $500 and $1,300 for materials and delivery, though small-town rates and distance from the quarry can push the price higher. Remember Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum; ask for exact truck size and weight when you get a quote.

Two inches is generally too thin for a primary residential driveway in Monticello; it works only as a thin top dressing over an already well-built base. For dependable performance on local soils and with seasonal rain, plan on a compacted base of 4 to 6 inches of crushed base rock plus 2 to 3 inches of wearing gravel on top. Consider geotextile fabric and proper grading to improve drainage and reduce maintenance in West Florida conditions.

One ton of typical gravel is about 0.71 cubic yards and will cover roughly 116 sq ft at 2u0022 depth, 77 sq ft at 3u0022, and 58 sq ft at 4u0022. In Monticello, delivered cost per ton is commonly in the $35 to $75 range, so one ton will cost about $35 to $75 delivered; multiply that by how many tons you need for your project. Always round up and add 5-10% for compaction and waste.

Options that produce a hardened surface include polymeric gravel mixes, resin-bound gravel, and stabilized or grouted aggregate. These systems lock the stones together and reduce dust and movement but are more expensive than loose gravel; installed costs in the Monticello area typically range from about $8 to $20 per sq ft depending on product and contractor. Get contractor quotes and samples, and consider drainage and local freeze/thaw (limited in Florida) when choosing a stabilized surface.

A 20x20 driveway is 400 sq ft. For a proper build with 4u0022 compacted base plus 2u0022 top gravel you will need roughly 7.4 cubic yards (≈10.4 tons) of material. Materials and delivery typically run $350 to $800, and basic site prep plus compaction by a contractor usually adds $400 to $1,200, so total installed costs commonly fall between $800 and $2,000 in Monticello depending on site access and contractor rates. For an exact price, request a quote and mention access, desired gravel type, and whether you want geotextile fabric.
