Gravel, Sand & Bulk Material Delivery in North Fort Myers, FL

Material choice depends on use, drainage needs, and look you want. For functional surfaces and beds people commonly choose from gravel, sand, dirt, stone depending on whether you need drainage, a stable base, or decorative cover. Talk to our team about traffic levels, slope, and desired appearance to narrow options and get local recommendations. Use the material quiz or calculator to compare coverage and cost.

Coastal humidity and frequent rain can speed vegetation growth and move fine particles, while salt air can affect some finishes. Choose materials and installation methods that promote drainage and resist washout, and plan for periodic topping and edging maintenance. Regional sourcing means materials will reflect local geology, so expect some variation in texture and color. For shoreline or erosion-prone areas, consult a local pro for long-term solutions.

Aim for the drier months (typically late fall through spring) to avoid frequent afternoon storms and very hot conditions that can slow work. Standard delivery takes 2+ business days, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Book early for weekend projects or during peak seasons so you can choose a delivery date that fits weather windows. If rain is forecast, allow flexibility for rescheduling.

Minimum orders start at 3 tons and deliveries are made by contracted dump truck fleets (typically tri-axle). Drivers assess site access on arrival, so clear low-hanging wires, narrow gates, and parking obstacles before delivery. Tailgate spreading may be requested at checkout but is performed at the driver's discretion and is not guaranteed. Delivery fees vary by distance and site conditions; check your zip code for pricing.

Calculate cubic yards by multiplying length x width x depth (in feet) and dividing by 27. Convert cubic yards to tons using the material density—this varies by material—so use our online calculator or add 10% for waste and compaction as a rule of thumb. For irregular areas, break the site into rectangles and total the volumes. When in doubt, contact our team with project dimensions for a quick check.

Yes, most local suppliers deliver to residential streets and construction sites, but access and local rules can affect placement. Drivers need adequate turning radius and a safe dump area; tight neighborhoods, narrow lanes, and HOA rules may restrict large truck access. You can request delivery notes at checkout to help drivers find the best place to dump. If site access is limited, consider a nearby drop location or smaller loads.

Local permitting and setback rules can apply, especially for large deliveries, shoreline work, or projects near property lines. Check with the City of North Fort Myers, Lee County, and any homeowners association before placing large volumes of material. For simple landscape top-offs you usually don’t need a permit, but it is wise to verify for drainage, right-of-way, or environmental concerns. If you are unsure, our team can point you to local resources.

Effective solutions mix material selection with grading, vegetation, and sometimes geotextiles or engineered structures. Coarser, well-graded materials help drainage, while finer materials can be used as bedding; native plants and proper slope management reduce erosion. For shoreline or severe erosion areas, combine materials with professional engineering advice to meet local regulations. We can connect you with suppliers familiar with coastal conditions in the Cape Coral–Fort Myers area.

Professional installation adds labor, equipment, and compaction costs on top of materials; this commonly increases the total project cost but provides longer-lasting results. As a general guideline, installation and compaction can add roughly 10% to 30% or more depending on project complexity and site prep needs. Get multiple quotes from local contractors if you want exact pricing for compaction, grading, or full installation. Our team can help you estimate and recommend local installers.

Pricing depends on order size, distance from the supplier, and site conditions; many areas offer free delivery for qualifying orders but fees may apply for remote or difficult sites. Standard delivery is 2+ business days, with next-day delivery available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. You can choose your preferred delivery date during checkout and add notes for the driver. For an exact price and availability, check your zip code or contact our sales team.

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

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.
