ShopDriveway Gravel in Orlando
Contractors and homeowners in Orlando buy driveway gravel from opposite starting points. Contractors know their tonnage and call the order in; homeowners often measure for the first time and need help choosing the right size and depth.
Orlando gets about 53 inches of precipitation a year, which means drainage and washout planning need to be part of the driveway design from the start.

Orlando Climate and Soil Conditions for Driveway Gravel
Orange County is growing fast: in 2024 the county permitted about 4,810 single-family homes, many of them on new lots that need a driveway from scratch. Whether you are building a new home or refreshing an existing lane, the local conditions matter.
Soils mapped in the Orlando area are commonly poorly drained, which means you may need more base stone under the surface layer to keep the driveway firm. The ground around Orlando is in dual hydrologic group B/D. Where it is drained it takes water in at a moderate rate; where it is not, it takes water in very slowly, so most rain runs across the surface. Drainage and a deeper base matter more here than elsewhere.
About 2 days a year drop below 32 degrees Fahrenheit in Orlando, so the work window is wide and frost heave is barely a concern. Plan the delivery around dry ground: a truck needs a firm surface to reach the drop point.
How to Estimate the Tonnage You Need
A cubic yard of driveway gravel weighs roughly 1.4 tons, but the exact number depends on the stone size and moisture. Use the driveway gravel calculator to get a tonnage estimate based on your driveway dimensions and depth.

Frequently Asked Questions about Driveway Gravel in Orlando
Do winter conditions in Orlando affect delivery?
No, winter is mild in Orlando, with about 2 days a year below freezing. That rarely affects delivery or the driveway work. The main concern is wet ground, not cold weather.
How many wet days a year should I plan a driveway gravel delivery around in Orlando?
Orlando has about 77 days a year that bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Plan your delivery for a dry spell so the truck can reach the drop point without sinking.
Can a contractor order on behalf of a customer?
Yes. A contractor can place the order and have the driveway gravel delivered to the job site. The delivery window and site access rules still apply.
Where will the driver put the load?
You mark the spot, and the driver dumps the load there, as long as the truck can reach it safely. If access is tight, they unload as close as they can.
