Gravel: Engineered For Coastal Drainage • Next-Day Gravel Delivery Available
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.
Driveway Gravel
A ¾”-1” clean, crushed stone ideal for rejuvenating worn down gravel driveways, or for installing a fresh new driveway on your property. Aesthetically pleasing and functional!

Why Jacksonville Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Jacksonville's city population is 86,917, and it sits inside a metro area with a population of 2.5+ million. The area is growing at a rate of 0.70% annually, which keeps demand steady for residential improvements, driveway repairs, and new landscape projects. With a mild climate in hardiness zone 8a, about 218 sunny days per year, and an annual rainfall of 34.25 inches, homeowners need materials that balance drainage and durability. Gravel is a practical choice for many local jobs because it manages runoff, limits erosion on coastal soils, and provides a stable base for paths, driveways, and garden beds. Buyers in Jacksonville often look for locally sourced gravel to match color and texture while getting the right performance for sandy or clay-tinged soils common to the region. Gravel performs well in Jacksonville's climate when chosen and installed with drainage in mind. For areas that receive frequent summer storms and 34.25 inches of rain annually, angular crushed gravel and proper sub-base preparation help channel water away and reduce rutting. Hello Gravel connects homeowners to trusted local suppliers and haulers, offering transparent pricing, scheduled deliveries, and the option to request tailgate spreading at the driver's discretion. Our platform makes it simple to pick the right gravel for patios, French drains, driveways, and edging, and to schedule delivery on a timeline that fits your project—standard delivery requires 2+ business days, while next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee.Popular Projects in Jacksonville This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Jacksonville gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Jacksonville.
In Jacksonville (Wilmington metro), a delivered dump-truck load of gravel typically contains about 10 to 14 tons (roughly 6 to 10 cubic yards), depending on truck size and material. Delivered price generally ranges from about $30 to $60 per ton, so a full tri-axle load often runs around $300 to $900. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum and can provide an exact local quote and delivery window for your zip code.
Assuming a common single-car driveway width of 10 ft (that is 1,000 sq ft), you would need about 12.9 tons (≈9.3 cubic yards) at 3" depth and about 17.2 tons (≈12.4 cubic yards) at 4" depth. To calculate for other widths, multiply area (ft2) by depth (ft) to get cubic feet, divide by 27 to get cubic yards, then multiply by about 1.4 tons per cubic yard (density varies by material).
Cost depends on the driveway width and depth; assuming a 20 ft long by 10 ft wide driveway (200 sq ft) at 3" depth, you need about 2.6 tons of gravel. Material plus delivery for a small job often runs $100 to $250, and basic compaction/installation can add $100 to $400 depending on access and labor. For an accurate local price, request a Hello Gravel quote that includes delivery and any installation options.
For a 20x20 area (400 sq ft), at 2" depth you need roughly 3.5 tons and at 3" about 5.2 tons. Delivered material cost typically runs $30 to $60 per ton in the area, so supply-and-deliver alone is commonly in the $100 to $325 range depending on depth and material chosen. Get a zip-code quote through Hello Gravel for an exact delivered price and available materials.
One ton of crushed gravel is roughly 0.6 to 0.8 cubic yards depending on material; at 2" depth it typically covers about 80 to 100 sq ft. To calculate tons needed: area (sq ft) x depth (ft) / 27 = cubic yards, then multiply by about 1.4 tons per cubic yard to get tons. For example, 1,000 sq ft at 2" needs about 8.6 tons; at 3" about 12.9 tons.
In Jacksonville's coastal-plain climate you will usually want at least 3 to 4 inches of gravel for a driveway used by passenger vehicles to ensure good coverage and drainage. Two inches is generally too thin for regular driveway use and can wash out during heavy rain. For heavier vehicles or poor subgrade, consider a compacted base of crushed rock (4+ inches) topped with a 1–2" wearing layer.
The cheapest option depends on quantity and labor. For moderate to large amounts, bulk delivery through Hello Gravel is often cost-competitive because it factors in local supplier and hauler rates; pickup with a trailer can save money for very small loads if you already have a vehicle and time. Contractor-supplied material plus installation is convenient but usually adds labor costs, so compare total delivered price plus your time and equipment needs before deciding.
A 7x14 dump trailer's safe payload depends on its GVWR and axle ratings, but many 7x14 trailers can carry roughly 2 to 4 tons of gravel (about 1.5 to 3 cubic yards). Exact capacity varies by trailer model and local weight limits, so check the trailer's rated payload and gross vehicle weight before loading. When in doubt, make multiple lighter trips rather than overloading.
A well-built gravel driveway in Jacksonville typically lasts 5 to 15 years before requiring major replacement, with periodic maintenance (grading, adding 1–2 inches of new gravel) every 2 to 5 years. Heavy rainfall, poor drainage, and frequent truck traffic accelerate wear, so plan for more frequent top-ups in low-lying or poorly drained spots. Regular maintenance extends life and reduces the need for full replacement.
Five tons of typical crushed gravel is roughly 3.5 cubic yards (varies by material). Spread at 2" depth, 5 tons will cover about 570 to 600 sq ft; at 3" it covers about 380 to 400 sq ft; at 4" it covers about 285 to 300 sq ft. Use these figures to visualize quantity or enter your dimensions into Hello Gravel's material calculator for precise estimates.
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.
