1.5″ Crushed Gravel Delivery in Davie, FL

Davie homeowners and contractors order 1.5″ crushed gravel delivery for driveway bases, landscape edging and drainage work across the Miami-Fort Lauderdale metro area. This larger sized crushed gravel ships by the ton with pricing that drops as order size increases. Below is what this gray angular gravel is used for in Davie, how fast delivery works, how many tons typical jobs need, and how to order.

Davie's Terrain and Landscape Character

Davie sits in the heart of the western Broward County suburbs, about 30 minutes west of Fort Lauderdale, on flat terrain shaped by the Everglades' influence and suburban sprawl. The native soil here is sandy and alkaline, with seasonal high water tables that make proper drainage critical for any construction or landscaping work. Homes range from older single-story ranch properties to newer planned subdivisions and larger custom estates, and most properties benefit from a stable stone base under driveways and permeable surfaces for water management. The sandy soil drains naturally but still benefits from a compacted crushed stone layer to prevent settling and ruts under vehicle weight.

Best Uses for 1.5″ Crushed Gravel in Davie

Around Davie, 1.5″ crushed gravel is popular as a base layer under pavers and gravel driveways, where its moderate size locks into place better than pea gravel but is easier to work with than larger stones. It also works well for landscape edging around gardens and planters, creating a finished border that handles foot traffic without shifting. Contractors use it for drainage around foundations and in areas where water pooling is a concern, since the 1.5 inch size allows good drainage while providing stability. Its gray color blends well with the tropical and suburban landscapes common throughout Davie.

How Much 1.5″ Crushed Gravel You Need

1.5″ crushed gravel is sold by the ton, not by the cubic yard, so you need to think in tons for your Davie project. A cubic yard of this gravel weighs roughly 2,750 pounds, which works out to about 120 square feet of coverage at 2 inches deep, 60 square feet at 4 inches, and 40 square feet at 6 inches, all per ton. A 12 by 50 foot driveway base at 4 inches of depth needs roughly 10 tons. Rather than calculate this by hand, use the calculator, once, inside the how-much-you-need section and enter your square footage and depth to get a ton figure you can order against.

Pricing Notes

Pricing breaks into three tiers based on order size. Small orders of 3 to 7 tons arrive with a delivery fee and come in 1 to 2 business days. Mid-size orders of 8 to 14 tons have a lower per-ton rate with a reduced delivery fee and typically move same day or next business day. Orders of 15 tons or more qualify for the volume bulk rate with free delivery, which is the tier most larger driveway and drainage jobs land in. The final delivered price is calculated from your ZIP code at checkout, since local hauling distance affects the total cost.

About 1.5″ Crushed Gravel

1.5″ crushed gravel is an angular gray aggregate crushed from quarried stone and screened to a consistent size of about 1.5 inches. Unlike naturally rounded pea gravel, its angular broken faces catch against each other when compacted, giving it stability as a driveway base or landscape border. A cubic yard of this gravel weighs approximately 2,750 pounds, making it heavier than mulch or topsoil and larger 3 to 4 inch drainage stone, making it versatile for both functional and decorative applications.

The angular gaps between pieces allow water to drain through rather than pooling on the surface, which makes it useful for drainage applications around foundations and in low areas. Most suppliers grade it consistently nationwide, so the size and performance remain the same regardless of which distribution yard fills your order. Its gray color works well in both traditional and modern landscaping designs, and the moderate size is easier to hand-place than larger stones while providing more stability than fine gravel.
