Why Okaloosa Island Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Okaloosa Island homeowners are part of a growing coastal community with a city population of 5,700 in a region tied to a metro area population of 2.5+ million. With a growth rate of 2.50% annually and a warm, coastal climate (hardiness zone 8b), demand for practical, low-maintenance landscaping and durable driveway solutions is rising. The area averages 228 sunny days per year and about 34.00 inches of annual rainfall, so homeowners need materials that stand up to both sun exposure and occasional heavy showers. Gravel is a popular choice because it is affordable, drains well, and suits the island’s sandy soils and shifting grades, making it ideal for stabilizing driveways, pathways, and shoreline transition areas where routine maintenance and good drainage matter. Gravel works especially well in Okaloosa Island’s environment: it sheds water quickly after storms, resists rutting under vehicle traffic when properly installed, and reflects heat less than solid pavement on sunny days. For coastal projects, angular, washed gravel helps lock into place for erosion control and French drains, while rounded pea gravel offers a softer surface for landscaping beds. Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers who source regionally matched gravel, lets you schedule delivery (standard 2+ business days, next-day available before noon CST for an extra fee), and coordinates professional dump truck delivery so materials arrive when you need them.Popular Projects in Okaloosa Island This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Okaloosa Island gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Okaloosa Island.
On Okaloosa Island, use angular, compactable aggregates as a base and decorative rounded gravels for the top layer. Common choices are 3/4" crushed stone or crushed limestone for a durable base, with pea gravel or small crushed shell mixes on top for appearance. Avoid very round, loose rock alone as a base because it shifts on sandy, coastal soil.
Salt air does not damage most rock, but it can accelerate corrosion of metal edging, fasteners, or other nearby hardware. Shells and some limestones can show more surface weathering and color change over time in salt spray. Choose silica-based or well-washed crushed stone for longevity and rinse/sweep decorative surfaces after storms if salt buildup is a concern.
Delivered prices vary by material and distance, but in West Florida, gravel typically ranges from about $25 to $65 per ton delivered, depending on type and local availability. For an accurate quote for your Okaloosa Island address, check your zip code on Hello Gravel or request a quote since regional sourcing and truck routing affect price.
Use these estimates for crushed stone on Okaloosa Island: 1" depth = about 0.0043 tons per sq ft (roughly 231 sq ft per ton); 2" = about 0.0086 tons per sq ft (about 115 sq ft per ton); 3" = about 0.013 tons per sq ft (about 77 sq ft per ton). Depth and material density vary by type, so round up and add 5-10% for compaction and grading when ordering.
On barrier-island sand, install a compactable, angular base such as 3/4" crushed stone or crushed limestone over geotextile fabric to prevent mixing with native sand. Consider a thicker base (4" to 8") and optional geogrid for heavier loads to reduce rutting and washout. Proper grading and edge restraints are important to keep the base stable during storms and high tides.
Inspect gravel surfaces after heavy rain or storms and do light maintenance as needed, typically every 3-6 months. Expect to regrade low spots and add a light top-up (1/2" to 1") annually; after hurricane season do a thorough check for washouts and recompact or replace material where needed.
Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and haulers that serve Okaloosa Island, so start by entering your zip code on our site to see available materials and prices. Local garden centers and landscape suppliers also carry decorative gravels and shells—contact Hello Gravel for supplier options and delivery scheduling specific to your address.
Crushed stone (angular gravel) makes a more stable, long-lasting driveway because it compacts well and resists washout. Crushed shell gives a coastal look and drains well but is softer, can wash away in heavy storms, and may require more frequent topping. If you want the shell appearance, consider a compacted stone base with a thin shell topping for aesthetics and stability.
Permitting rules can vary by location, flood zone, and any applicable homeowners association; most projects that change drainage or are in regulated zones require review. Check Okaloosa County Building and Zoning or your HOA before starting work. If in a coastal high-risk or floodplain area, plan for proper drainage and elevation per local guidelines and consult Hello Gravel or a local contractor for help.
Schedule major installs outside hurricane season when possible and avoid finishing beds right before known storm windows to reduce washout risk. Use good edge restraints, compacted base layers, and geotextile fabric to limit erosion; keep extra gravel on hand for quick repairs after storms. For large jobs, plan deliveries and grading for relatively dry periods to get better compaction and finish.

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.
