Gravel in trailerestates, FL

Delivered gravel prices in West Florida typically range by material: plan on about $30-$60 per ton for common driveway blends (crushed stone or crushed shell) depending on type and distance. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum and many areas include free delivery; some rural or long-haul deliveries may carry a per-load fee. For an accurate number, check your zip code on our site or contact our sales team for a local quote.

For West Florida, angular crushed stone (¾" or crusher-run) is usually best for a stable, compacted driveway; washed limestone or crushed shell can be economical and match local look. River rock tends to roll under traffic and is not ideal for driveways, while decomposed granite (DG) can be good for low-traffic pads if mixed with stabilizer. Choose materials with good interlock and add a compacted base to resist washout during the wet season.

Use this quick guide based on 1.4 tons per cubic yard: 12x30 (360 sqft) needs about 3.1 tons at 2", 4.7 tons at 3", 6.2 tons at 4", and 9.3 tons at 6". For a 20x40 (800 sqft) area plan about 6.9 tons at 2", 10.4 tons at 3", 13.8 tons at 4", and 20.7 tons at 6". Hello Gravel's online calculator can confirm quantities for your exact layout and depth.

Heavy rains in West Florida can cause washout and rutting if gravel is laid on soft soil or without drainage. Reduce risk by installing a compacted base, adding geotextile fabric, creating positive slope and drainage swales, using angular crushed stone that locks together, and installing edging to keep material in place. Proper prep and thicker base layers minimize future maintenance even during intense storms.

Contractor costs vary, but expect base preparation, geotextile, grading, and compaction to run roughly $1.50-$4.00 per square foot in West Florida, depending on site conditions and local labor rates. Machine spreading and compaction might be priced per ton (often $10-$30/ton additional) or included in a lump-sum quote. Always get multiple local bids and confirm what is included (excavation, fabric, edging, compaction, and hauling).

Gravel has the lowest upfront cost of the three options but requires more regular maintenance like regrading and topping up every few years in this climate. Asphalt costs more initially and needs periodic sealcoating and repairs, while pavers have the highest upfront cost but can last decades with less frequent upkeep. Choose gravel if budget and quick installation matter; choose asphalt or pavers if you want lower maintenance and a smoother surface long term.

For drainage and compaction around mobile homes, use angular ¾" crushed stone for load-bearing areas and washed aggregate for drainage trenches. Septic drain fields typically require specific washed stone (often #57 or similar) — always confirm local health department specs before ordering. Avoid loose river rock near septic or high-traffic spots because it reduces compaction and can shift during heavy rain.

In West Florida's wet climate, expect light-use areas to need topping up every 1-3 years and driveways to need regrading or replenishing every 2-5 years unless a robust base and drainage are installed. High-traffic areas, poor drainage, or sandy subsoil can shorten that interval and may require annual touch-ups. Proper installation with fabric, edging, and a compacted base stretches the time between repairs.

Requirements vary by county and HOA; many areas do not require a simple driveway permit, but setbacks, drainage rules, and HOA covenants may restrict surface type or appearance. Before work, check your county permitting office and read your HOA rules or contact the association to confirm any restrictions. If septic, stormwater, or right-of-way work is involved, you may need permits or inspections.
