Gravel in Pine Ridge, FL

Expect delivered gravel prices in West Florida to vary by material and season. As a ballpark, typical delivered costs run roughly $25 to $60 per ton (about $30 to $75 per cubic yard), with lower-cost mixes on the low end and decorative or specialty gravels on the high end. Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum order and offers standard delivery in 2+ business days, with next-day options for orders placed before noon CST; check your zip code for precise pricing and delivery fees.

For sandy soils and frequent heavy rain in Pine Ridge, angular crushed stone (3/4"-1") and crushed rock mixes provide better interlock and stability than round pea gravel. Washed, well-graded driveway mix with some fines helps bind the material for driveways, while larger washed rock or riprap is better for drainage and erosion control. Avoid only small, rounded pebbles on steep, high-traffic areas because they migrate more easily in wet conditions.

Requirements vary by city and neighborhood. Contact Pine Ridge city building or planning department and check your HOA covenants before ordering — some municipalities or HOAs restrict driveway materials, slopes, or visible colors. Hello Gravel recommends getting written approval from your HOA and confirming any local permit requirements before placing an order.

Measure the area in square feet and decide your desired depth in inches. Multiply area (sq ft) by depth (inches) and divide by 324 to get cubic yards. To convert to tons for typical crushed gravel, multiply cubic yards by about 1.4 to 1.6 (for example, a 12' x 50' driveway at 3" deep = 600 sq ft x 3/324 = 5.56 cubic yards, or roughly 7.8 to 8.9 tons). Always round up and add 5-10% extra for compaction and spillage.

Choose quartz-rich or granite-based gravels rather than soft carbonates when you expect salt spray or coastal exposure. Hard, angular aggregates resist breakdown and salt-related weakening better than limestone or shell in high-salt environments. Because Hello Gravel sources regionally, you can request color and durability preferences in Order Notes, but expect some natural variation.

High humidity and heavy rains can cause fines to wash out and allow weeds to establish where there's poor base preparation. Good base preparation, geotextile fabric, and proper grading improve drainage and reduce weed and washout problems. Expect to add material and regrade more often in areas with heavy runoff or poor subgrade compared with drier inland locations.

Plan on light maintenance annually and larger touch-ups every 2 to 4 years: regrading low spots, adding 1-3 inches of material as needed, and addressing washouts after heavy storms. Remove weeds with regular herbicide application or hand-pulling and keep drainage ditches and culverts clear to prevent erosion. Budget-wise, maintenance labor and material replacement costs are typically lower than pavement repairs, but frequency depends on traffic, drainage, and storm exposure.

Gravel can help slow surface flow on gentle to moderate slopes when combined with proper grade, terraces, or geotextile fabric, but it is less effective alone on steep slopes or concentrated flow areas. For steeper or high-velocity runoff, combine gravel with check dams, retaining walls, plantings, or riprap for best results. Consider an on-site assessment to pick the right aggregate size and erosion control measures for your slope.

Gravel is the most cost-effective upfront option, offers excellent drainage, and is easy to maintain but requires periodic regrading and material top-ups. Crushed shell is a local aesthetic option near the coast but can compact and break down faster; pavers are low-maintenance and durable but cost much more up front; asphalt gives a smoother, long-lasting surface but is more expensive and reduces drainage. Choose based on budget, desired look, stormwater needs, and long-term maintenance willingness.

Hello Gravel’s minimum order is 3 tons. Standard delivery is scheduled in 2+ business days with no extra fee in many areas, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee; tailgate spreading may be offered at the driver’s discretion but is not guaranteed. Check your zip code at checkout for exact availability, supplier details, and any local delivery fees.

Because Hello Gravel sources materials regionally, color and texture reflect local geology, so expect some variation from photos. For coastal homes, lighter, quartz-rich gravels resist visible salt staining and heat gain, while darker gravels may show salt residues more. Add color preferences in Order Notes and request photos or a sample from your local supplier when available to confirm the look before ordering.

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

Use our material calculator here: https://hellogravel.com/calculator/ to enter the length, width and depth measurements of your project. It will automatically calculate the cubic yards/tons needed. If you are unsure how much to order, contact our team for guidance.

Please type in your zip code on any product screen and it will let you know if we service your area. The chances are that we do!

The material will be delivered via dump truck. If your order is under 20 tons, then it will likely be just one dump truck load. If your order is more than 20 tons, it will be more than one dump truck load.

We cannot get out of the truck and manually spread it. However, depending on the location, safety, and comfortability of the driver – we may be able to tailgate spread your material. 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.

No, because we are a national supplier, we utilize our existing network of suppliers across the country. Therefore, the materials will likely be delivered from a contracted trucking company.

We specialize in making the aggregate buying process as easy and seamless as possible by managing the process from end to end.
