Gravel in portstjoe, FL

Costs vary by material and truck size. A typical tri-axle load in our service area carries about 10–12 cubic yards (roughly 13.5–16 tons) and delivered prices in West Florida commonly run from about $40 to $85 per ton depending on material (crushed limestone, shell, pea gravel) and distance. Exact pricing and availability for Port St. Joe are best confirmed with a Hello Gravel quote—minimum order is 3 tons and delivery timing affects price.

One ton of gravel is roughly 0.74 cubic yards (about 20 cubic feet). That will cover roughly 240 sq ft at 1 inch depth, about 120 sq ft at 2 inches, and about 80 sq ft at 3 inches; actual coverage varies with stone size and compaction.

Volume depends on desired depth. For 1,000 sq ft: 2" depth needs about 6.2 cubic yards (≈8.3 tons), 3" needs ≈9.3 cubic yards (≈12.5 tons), and 4" needs ≈12.3 cubic yards (≈16.7 tons). Multiply the tons by your local per-ton price (typical Port St. Joe ranges $40–$85/ton delivered) and ask Hello Gravel for an exact delivered quote.

In Port St. Joe and the Gulf Coast area you’ll commonly see crushed limestone, crushed shell mixes, and sand-gravel blends. Shell or locally mined materials can be less expensive but may behave differently (more shifting, faster wear) than crushed stone; price depends on material, local supply, and delivery distance.

Cost depends on width, depth, and material. For a 20 ft long by 10 ft wide area at 3" depth you’d need about 2.5 tons (but Hello Gravel’s minimum order is 3 tons), so expect material costs in the low hundreds plus delivery—typical totals for small single-car gravel driveways often run $150–$500 depending on material and delivery.

Two inches is usually too thin for a vehicular driveway, especially on Port St. Joe’s sandy soils and in a coastal climate. For a stable driveway we recommend at least 3–4 inches of compacted surface gravel over a well-prepared base; heavier traffic or poor drainage may require a thicker base layer and better subgrade preparation.

Capacity depends on side height and load rules. A 7x14 trailer with 12–24" sides typically holds about 4 to 7 cubic yards of gravel (≈5.4 to 9.5 tons using common densities). Check your trailer’s manufacturer capacity and local weight limits before loading.

Five tons is roughly 3.7 cubic yards (about 100 cubic feet). Spread out, 5 tons will cover about 1,200 sq ft at 1" depth, about 600 sq ft at 2" depth, or about 400 sq ft at 3" depth—good for small paths, patches, or topping an existing surface.

If you mean covering a 1,000 sq ft area around the house, the same depth rules apply: 2" depth needs about 8.3 tons, 3" needs about 12.5 tons, and 4" needs about 16.7 tons. For perimeter work near foundations or drainage areas, plan for extra material for grading and consider a coarser base plus a finished top layer to improve drainage and stability in Port St. Joe’s coastal soils.

Buying in bulk and choosing locally abundant materials (shell mixes or locally crushed stone) lowers unit cost, and picking up your own load can save on delivery fees if you have a suitable truck. Hello Gravel helps by comparing local supplier options and coordinating delivery; for very small jobs you may still find pick-up or smaller loads cheaper, but factor in time and hauling costs.

A 20x20 driveway is 400 sq ft. At 3" depth you’d need about 5 tons of material; at typical West Florida delivered prices of $40–$85/ton, material cost alone would be roughly $200–$425, plus delivery and any site prep. Ask Hello Gravel for a local quote that includes delivery and any minimum-order considerations.

Gravel itself doesn’t 'expire' but surfaces shift and thin with traffic, rain, and storms; in Port St. Joe you may need to regrade and add top-up material every 2–5 years depending on use and storm exposure. Routine maintenance—occasional regrading, adding 1–2 inches of fresh gravel, and keeping edges contained—extends the life of the surface.

A well-graded crushed stone (3/4" minus or similar base) topped with a smaller crushed stone or pea gravel gives good compaction and drainage. In Port St. Joe consider materials that resist washout (crushed stone with fines or a compactable base) rather than loose, sharp shells; local suppliers on Hello Gravel can recommend the best mix for coastal soils and hurricane-prone weather.

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.
