Gravel: Sun-Ready Drainage For Sunset • Next-Day Gravel Delivery Available Locally
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.
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.

Frequently Asked Questions - Sunset gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Sunset.
Costs vary by material type, depth, and driveway size, but expect material prices to commonly range from about $25 to $80 per ton in the Florida region depending on type (crushed stone, pea gravel, or decorative shell). Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum and offers standard delivery in 2+ business days (next-day available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee). Basic DIY spreading reduces labor cost, while hiring a contractor for grading and compacting can add several hundred dollars; get a local quote for an accurate estimate.
For Sunset's coastal, humid climate, common options are crushed shell (coastal look, drains well but can break down over time), pea gravel (good drainage and comfortable to walk on but more prone to shifting), and crushed limestone or granite (durable and compacts well for driveways). Choose crushed shell for aesthetics near the beach, pea gravel where drainage and barefoot comfort matter, and crushed stone where strength and low movement are priorities; regional availability will affect color and texture.
Sunset's subtropical climate brings heavy seasonal rains and often sandy or mixed soils with varying drainage; you may also encounter a high seasonal water table in low-lying coastal areas. Plan for a well-compacted base, positive slope away from structures, geotextile fabric on soft spots, and edge restraints to keep gravel contained; consider a drainage swale or French drain where water pools.
Use this rule of thumb for common gravel: 1 cubic yard covers about 100 sq ft at a 3" depth, and 1 cubic yard is roughly 1.3 to 1.5 tons depending on material. Practical estimates per 100 sq ft: 1" depth = ~0.33 yd3 (~0.45–0.5 tons), 2" = ~0.67 yd3 (~0.9–1.0 tons), 3" = ~1 yd3 (~1.3–1.5 tons), 4" = ~1.33 yd3 (~1.7–2.0 tons). For a precise quantity, measure area and depth, then use A*D/324 to get cubic yards (A in sq ft, D in inches) and multiply by material-specific tons/yd3.
In Sunset's humid, rainy climate you should expect light maintenance annually (raking, filling low spots, and removing debris) and more substantial work—regrading and topping up—every 1 to 3 years depending on traffic. Material top-ups typically cost the price per ton plus delivery (varies by material), and hiring equipment or a contractor for regrading can run a few hundred dollars; exact costs depend on driveway size and local labor rates. Good drainage and edge restraints reduce how often you need to add new gravel.
Rules vary by HOA and municipality, so check your HOA covenants and the Sunset or county building/permitting office before ordering gravel. Some HOAs restrict loose gravel, require compacted surfaces, or mandate specific edging or materials; city codes may also address stormwater and driveway surfacing. If you need documentation or material specs for HOA review, Hello Gravel can help provide details to include with your request.
Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum, uses local suppliers and contracted dump truck fleets (typically tri-axle), and offers standard delivery in 2+ business days with a next-day option for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Note access limitations: narrow drives, low-hanging wires, soft ground, or tight turns can affect whether a truck can dump where you want; add delivery instructions in Order Notes and our team will coordinate with the supplier. Drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion—request it at checkout but know it is not guaranteed.
For slopes or coastal exposures in Sunset, combine a solid base (larger crushed rock) with geotextile fabric, edge restraints, and properly graded swales to direct runoff away from the gravel. Use larger-sized base rock at the bottom of slopes and settle a compacted layer before placing finish gravel; vegetation or retaining features and periodic regrading after heavy storms help keep material in place. For high-erosion spots consider permeable pavers, stabilized gravel products, or professional drainage solutions.
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.
