Decomposed Granite
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.

Why Sylvan Shores Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Sylvan Shores is a growing coastal community with a city population of 5,000 and a metro area population of 2.3+ million. With a growth rate of 0.69% annually, steady development and home improvement projects are common as homeowners expand driveways, patios, and drainage systems. The local climate—228 sunny days per year, 33.69 inches of annual rainfall, and hardiness zone 8b—creates distinct needs: materials must handle intermittent heavy rain, resist washout, and stand up to sun and salt exposure. Homeowners choose quality gravel because it improves drainage, stabilizes driveways and walkways, suppresses weeds, and offers a low-maintenance surface that complements coastal landscaping. Both DIY homeowners and local contractors rely on properly graded aggregates to create stable sub-bases and long-lasting finishes in Sylvan Shores' unique conditions.Popular Projects in Sylvan Shores This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Sylvan Shores gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Sylvan Shores.
A typical tri-axle dump truck in the Sylvan Shores area carries roughly 10–12 tons of gravel. Delivered cost depends on the material and local rates; expect delivered prices in the Florida region to commonly range from about $30 to $75 per ton, so a full truckload may run roughly $300 to $900. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum and will provide exact pricing for your zip code at checkout.
Material needed depends on depth: at 2 inches you need about 6.2 cubic yards (roughly 9 tons), and at 3 inches about 9.3 cubic yards (roughly 13 tons). Local factors like compaction and the specific gravel type affect final amounts, so use our material calculator or request a quote for a precise estimate.
Yes. Florida suppliers provide a variety of aggregates including crushed stone, crusher-run, and coastal materials like shell or coquina; Hello Gravel sources regionally so the exact look and texture will reflect local geology near Sylvan Shores. If you have a color or texture preference, note it at checkout and we will try to match local stock.
For Sylvan Shores driveways, common choices are crushed limestone or crusher-run as a base, topped with 3/8" to 3/4" crushed stone for drainage and traction. If you are near the coast, crushed shell or compactable base mixes can be economical, but they behave differently in heavy rain—ask our team which local blend suits your driveway and climate.
Coverage depends on depth: at a 2" finish 20 tons will cover about 2,300 sq ft; at a 3" finish it will cover about 1,540 sq ft. These are approximate; subsurface conditions and compaction can change required amounts, so check with our calculator for your specific project.
The most cost-effective materials in this region are typically crusher-run, bank-run, or recycled concrete, which provide good base material at a lower price point. Cheaper options trade off uniform appearance and long-term stability, so for driveways or high-traffic areas you may want to invest a bit more in proper base and topcoat material.
A rule of thumb: 1 ton of typical crushed gravel covers about 115 sq ft at 2" depth and about 77 sq ft at 3" depth. One cubic yard (about 27 cu ft) covers roughly 162 sq ft at 2" and 108 sq ft at 3"; a cubic yard weighs roughly 1.3–1.5 tons depending on material, so use those ranges for Sylvan Shores calculations.
A 20x20 driveway (400 sq ft) at 3" depth needs about 3.7 cubic yards or roughly 5–6 tons of gravel. With Florida region pricing, delivered material alone often ranges from about $150 to $450 depending on type and delivery; add hauling or spreading labor if you need help placing or compacting the material.
Hello Gravel lists most materials by the ton because delivered weight varies by material and moisture, but many local suppliers also offer cubic-yard pricing. We display unit pricing and have a material calculator to convert between tons and cubic yards for your Sylvan Shores address.
Drivers in Sylvan Shores may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion; you can request it at checkout but there are no guarantees. The driver will assess safety and access on arrival, and more extensive spreading or grading usually requires a hired landscaper or equipment rental.
Labor rates vary with scope and equipment: basic laborers for small handwork are often less, while skilled crews or machine operators (skid steer, mini-excavator, compactor) can charge $75–$150 per hour in the Florida region. Paying $100/hour can be reasonable for skilled equipment work like grading and compacting, but always get a written estimate that breaks out labor, equipment, and disposal.
Measure the area (length x width) and choose a target depth in inches. Convert depth to feet, multiply area by depth to get cubic feet, divide by 27 to get cubic yards, then multiply by ~1.4 to estimate tons; or use Hello Gravel's online calculator for an instant yard/ton estimate and recommended minimum order.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

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.
