Gravel: Built For Plant City Drainage • Choose Your Gravel Delivery Date
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 Plant City Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Plant City, with a city population of 74,158, sits within a growing West Florida region whose metro area population is 2.5+ million. That regional expansion, combined with a 2.50% annual growth rate, is driving steady demand for residential builds, driveway upgrades, and yard improvements. Local climate plays a big role: about 228 sunny days per year paired with substantial seasonal rainfall (34.00 inches annually) mean homeowners need materials that handle both heavy sun and periodic downpours. Gravel is a popular choice because it is cost-effective, easy to place, and performs well in drainage and erosion-control roles. As Plant City expands, homeowners and contractors increasingly seek quality aggregates sourced to local geology so texture, color, and performance match the ground they’re working with.Popular Projects in Plant City This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Plant City gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Plant City.
Typical bulk gravel prices in Plant City vary by type and supplier; expect a rough range of $30 to $70 per ton for common gravels. Delivery costs depend on distance, order size, and supplier; Hello Gravel lists free delivery in many areas but minimum orders start at 3 tons and some next-day or short-notice deliveries carry an extra fee.
For Plant City’s sandy and clay-prone soils, angular crushed stone (3/4" crushed rock or limestone) is a top choice because it locks together and resists tracking. Use a compacted base layer of larger crushed stone with a finer top layer for driveways; pea gravel can be decorative but shifts more in heavy traffic and clay soils.
Gravel is very good for drainage and can help reduce surface runoff in Plant City when installed correctly. To avoid erosion during heavy storms, use a stable base, proper slope, edging, and consider geotextile fabric; on steep slopes you may need additional erosion controls.
A typical 2-car driveway (about 20x20 ft) built to a 6" compacted thickness needs roughly 7 to 8 cubic yards, or about 10 to 11 tons. A 10x20 ft patio at 2" depth needs about 1.2 cubic yards (roughly 1.7 to 2 tons), and a 100 ft walking path 3 ft wide at 2" depth needs about 1.8 to 2.0 cubic yards (about 2.5 to 3 tons). Remember Hello Gravel minimum orders start at 3 tons, so small projects may require the smallest standard delivery.
Hello Gravel connects you with trusted local suppliers and haulers in the Plant City/West Florida area, and most suppliers honor the platform’s minimum order of 3 tons. Material selection and exact availability vary by supplier and region, so check your zip code on the site or contact our team for supplier-specific details.
Maintenance is mostly periodic regrading, topping up settled areas, and weed control; expect to add 0.5 to 1 inch of material every few years in high-traffic areas. Pea gravel may need replenishing more often (every 2-5 years), while well-installed crushed stone or limestone can perform well for 10+ years with routine upkeep.
Gravel is the most budget-friendly and highly permeable option, good for drainage but it needs more maintenance than asphalt or pavers. Asphalt is smoother and lower-maintenance for vehicles but costs more up front and can soften slightly in extreme heat; pavers give the longest life and curb appeal but have the highest installation cost. Choose based on budget, desired look, and how much ongoing maintenance you want.
Permit and HOA rules vary by neighborhood in Plant City; some projects that change driveway location, curb cuts, or stormwater flow may require city permits or county approval. Always check Plant City municipal code and your HOA guidelines before ordering materials; if in doubt contact our team and your local planning office for guidance.
Installation costs depend on site conditions, but a professionally installed gravel driveway including excavation, base material, geotextile, edging, and compaction commonly ranges from about $3 to $8 per square foot in the Plant City area. Complex sites with poor soils, drainage fixes, or longer driveways will be toward the higher end; get local contractor quotes for accurate pricing.
Angular crushed stone or crushed limestone over a properly installed landscape fabric and firm edging gives the best weed suppression and stability in Plant City. Pea gravel is attractive but allows more weed growth and movement unless combined with good fabric, edging, and occasional replenishing.
Order online by selecting your material, entering your Plant City zip code, and choosing a delivery date; standard delivery is 2+ business days and next-day options are available for orders placed before noon CST with an added fee.

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.
