Known for its natural look, this compact, durable material drains well and holds up in high-traffic areas.

Can range in color from light brown and tan to reddish and gray, depending on the natural stone color in the region.
Walkway Gravel
A smaller ⅜” crushed stone that is great for paths, patios, and garden walkways. Comfortable under foot thanks to its smaller size, and creates a beautiful garden-like atmosphere.
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 Sarasota Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Sarasota, Florida (city population 232,227) sits inside a fast-growing metro corridor (metro area population 2.5+ million) expanding at about 2.80% annually. The city’s subtropical setting—228/year sunny days and 34.00 inches of annual rainfall—combined with coastal and inland neighborhoods drives steady demand for landscaping, drainage, and construction materials. As new homes, renovations, and outdoor living projects increase, homeowners need reliable aggregates for driveways, patios, French drains, and erosion control. Gravel provides a durable, permeable surface that complements Sarasota’s sandy soils and sun exposure. Because regional sourcing affects color and texture, many homeowners need clear product descriptions, quantity calculators, and scheduled delivery—exactly the kind of support Hello Gravel provides through its local supplier network.Popular Projects in Sarasota This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Sarasota gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Sarasota.
Delivered gravel in the Sarasota area commonly ranges from about $40 to $80 per ton depending on material type (pea gravel, crushed stone, shell), haul distance, and seasonal demand. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order and provides exact, zip-code-based pricing on checkout—use the site to get a firm quote for your address.
Local suppliers often offer pea gravel, crushed limestone/crushed stone, and shell mixes near Sarasota. For coastal use, angular crushed stone or limestone performs well for driveways because it compacts and locks together; shell is regionally popular for aesthetics but can lose fines and shift more easily, so it is better for low-traffic paths or decorative areas.
A good rule of thumb is one ton of typical gravel covers about 75 sq ft at 1 inch depth, so tons = (area in sq ft * depth in inches) / 75. Example: a 12' x 30' driveway (360 sq ft) at a 3" finished layer needs roughly 14 tons; remember you will usually need extra material for a compacted base and to allow for settlement.
Prep the subgrade by compacting and adding a geotextile fabric to separate sand from base material, install a compacted aggregate base (see depth guidance below), create a crown or slight slope for runoff, and add edge restraints to keep material contained. Also provide controlled drainage (swales or perforated pipes) and expect to regrade and add material after major storms.
In Sarasota's sandy soils aim for a compacted base of 4–8 inches of crusher run or 3/4" minus aggregate (thicker for heavier traffic) over geotextile, topped with 2–3 inches of angular finish gravel or pea stone for the driving surface. For driveways with regular vehicle traffic use 6–8" base plus 2–3" surface, and include edge restraints and proper slope to help stability and drainage.
Salt air has minimal direct chemical effect on most rock types, but shell and some limestones can break down faster in wet, salty conditions and may lose fines. Choose harder, angular aggregates (crushed stone or granite where available) and plan for periodic topping to maintain appearance and performance.
Possibly. Sarasota city and Sarasota County each have local codes that can affect driveways, curb cuts, stormwater, and impervious surface limits, and many HOAs have design rules or color/material restrictions. Check your HOA covenants and call Sarasota County or City of Sarasota planning/permits for specific rules before ordering materials.
Gravel is usually the least expensive upfront option (often about $1–$3 per sq ft installed for typical surfaces), asphalt is mid-range ($5–$10 per sq ft), and pavers are the most expensive ($15–$30+ per sq ft). Gravel is highly permeable and easier to repair after storms but requires regular topping and regrading, while asphalt and pavers are more stable and lower maintenance but cost more and reduce permeability.
Hello Gravel coordinates delivery through local suppliers and contracted dump truck fleets; deliveries are typically by tri-axle dump truck and the platform will show available delivery dates and pricing for your zip code. Tailgate spreading may be available at the driver's discretion (request at checkout), but for guaranteed installation or spreading you should hire a local contractor—Hello Gravel can connect you with suppliers who offer installation on request.
Expect to regrade and add 1–2 inches of new surface gravel every 1–5 years depending on traffic, rainfall, and storm impacts; low-traffic decorative areas may go longer, while driveways hit by heavy storms may need attention sooner. Routine maintenance—raking, filling low spots, and keeping drainage clear—extends the time between major replenishments.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

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.
