Gravel: Built For West Florida Drainage • Next-Day Gravel Delivery Available For Orders
Decomposed Granite
Known for its natural look, this compact, durable material drains well and holds up in high-traffic areas. Made from crushed and weathered granite down to a mix of fine gravel and sand—best for patios, paths, driveways, and landscape projects. Can range in color from light brown and tan to reddish and gray, depending on the natural stone color in the region.
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 morriston Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Morriston is a small but growing community with a population of 4,590, situated within the fast-expanding West Florida region. The area’s 2.50% annual growth is driving new landscaping and construction projects—from driveway repairs and patio builds to drainage upgrades—and homeowners increasingly need reliable, easy-to-source aggregates. With a hardiness zone of 8b, 228 sunny days per year, and 34.00 inches of annual rainfall, local climate and seasonal storms shape material choices: residents want materials that handle both sun exposure and periodic heavy rain. Gravel is a common, practical choice because it improves drainage, reduces erosion, and keeps maintenance low while giving yards and driveways a clean, finished look. Gravel works well in Morriston’s climate and development patterns. Its permeability helps manage runoff during the region’s 34.00 inches of yearly rain, while sunlight and heat mean color-stable, crushed gravel holds up without frequent replacement. Homeowners use gravel for driveways, French drains, pathways, and xeriscape beds where low water needs matter. Hello Gravel connects you to local suppliers and professional dump-truck delivery—minimum orders start at 3 tons, standard delivery requires 2+ business days, and next-day options exist for orders placed before noon CST—so you can get the right gravel, scheduled for your project, with transparent pricing and local expertise.Popular Projects in morriston This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - morriston gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in morriston.
Costs vary by material type, quantity, and local supplier but expect material prices roughly in the range of $25-$70 per ton for common gravels in West Florida. Hello Gravel often includes free or flat-fee delivery in many areas; delivery fees and minimums (our minimum order is 3 tons) depend on your zip code and truck access. For an exact price, request a quote on Hello Gravel and enter your Morriston address for local supplier rates.
For West Florida’s sandy, often wet subgrade, a layered approach works best: a compacted base of crushed stone or limestone screenings and a wearing surface of 3/4" crushed stone or crushed shell. Pea gravel looks nice but does not compact well and can shift in wet conditions, while angular crushed stone locks together for better stability and drainage. Local suppliers also offer coquina or shell blends that reflect Florida geology but may behave differently in heavy rain.
A typical 2-car driveway around 20 ft by 40 ft (800 sq ft) requires roughly 7 tons at 3 inches of gravel, about 10.5 tons at 3 inches if using heavier stone, and about 14 tons at 4 inches. Use the same area formula to adjust for your driveway size: cubic yards = area (sq ft) x depth (in) / 324, then multiply cubic yards by about 1.4 to get tons. Keep in mind you may need extra for compaction, base layers, and future settling; Hello Gravel’s material calculator can help fine-tune quantities.
Hello Gravel connects you with vetted local suppliers and contracted dump truck fleets that deliver by tri-axle trucks across West Florida. Standard delivery is typically 2+ business days, with a next-day option for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee; tailgate spreading may be available at the driver’s discretion. Enter your Morriston zip code on Hello Gravel to see available materials, delivery windows, and exact pricing from nearby suppliers.
Gravel itself drains well because it’s permeable, but overall performance depends on depth, stone size, base preparation, and slope. On Morriston’s sandy, often high-water-table ground, a properly graded base and larger stone underlayer help prevent pooling and rutting during heavy rain. For best results, provide good slope for runoff, consider a permeable base, and avoid placing gravel in depressions where water collects.
Installed costs vary with site prep, material choice, and contractor rates; a ballpark estimate for a basic gravel driveway in West Florida is about $1.50 to $4.00 per square foot installed. More extensive prep (grading, geotextile, base rock, drainage) increases costs, as can premium decorative gravels. Get local contractor quotes and a Hello Gravel material quote to compare materials and total installed pricing for your Morriston address.
Expect to add a top-up of gravel every 1 to 3 years in West Florida, with heavier maintenance (filling ruts and regrading) possibly needed more often in areas with frequent heavy rain or vehicle traffic. Regular maintenance—light grading, filling low spots, and adding 1/2 to 1 inch of material as needed—keeps the surface even and improves drainage. Using a compactable base and proper thickness reduces how often you need to replenish.
Yes—on sandy, wet soils common around Morriston, geotextile fabric plus a compacted base of crushed stone or limestone screenings improves stability and prevents washout. Fabric helps separate the native soil from the gravel, slows sinking, and makes the surface easier to maintain; a compacted base gives the wearing layer something firm to sit on. For driveways and high-traffic areas, plan for fabric plus a 3-4 inch compacted base beneath a 2-4 inch wearing layer.
For driveways in West Florida, 3/4" crushed stone or crushed limestone with screenings on top provides good compaction and traction. Walkways and garden paths often work well with decomposed granite, pea gravel, or shell mixes for a finished look, but pea gravel is less stable under vehicle traffic. Choose materials based on use: angular, compactable stone for driveways; smaller decorative gravels for walking areas and beds.
