Gravel in Wilmington Island, GA

Prices vary by type and local supply, but expect roughly $30 to $60 per ton delivered in the Wilmington Island area. Final price depends on material (pea gravel, crushed stone, screenings), seasonal demand, and delivery distance; get an exact quote via Hello Gravel for your zip code.

A single ton of typical crushed gravel covers about 80 to 100 square feet at a 1-inch depth. Coverage changes with gravel size and depth, so for driveways or paths you should calculate for 2-3 inches to get an accurate tonnage estimate.

At a 3-inch depth, 1,000 sq ft requires about 9 to 10 cubic yards, roughly 12 to 15 tons of gravel. Costs will vary by material; use Hello Gravel's calculator or request a local quote to get price and delivery for Wilmington Island.

Buying a common, locally sourced material in bulk is usually cheapest; crusher run or screenings are often the lowest-cost options. Compare quotes from local suppliers, schedule delivery during weekdays, and order at least the 3-ton minimum to keep per-ton pricing low.

A tri-axle dump truck (commonly used in our network) typically carries about 10 to 14 cubic yards, which is roughly 14 to 20 tons depending on the gravel type. The cost for a full truckload varies by material and distance; get a Hello Gravel quote for an exact price and available truck sizes in Wilmington Island.

It depends on width and depth. For example, a 100 ft long by 12 ft wide driveway at a 3-inch top layer needs about 11 cubic yards or ~15 to 16 tons; if you want a 4-6 inch compacted base plus a 2-3 inch top layer you could need 30+ tons. Local soil and drainage on Wilmington Island can increase recommended base depth, so check conditions before ordering.

Two inches is generally too thin for a driveway, especially in coastal Wilmington Island where sandy soils and heavy rain can cause washout. We recommend at least a 3-inch top layer over a 4-6 inch compacted base for regular car traffic; heavier use may need deeper base and better subgrade preparation.

Most trucks in our contracted network are tri-axle dump trucks that carry about 10 to 14 cubic yards, or roughly 14 to 20 tons of gravel. Larger 10-wheel trucks can carry more, but capacity depends on local regulations and the material's density.

Cost depends on width and depth. For example, a 20 ft long by 10 ft wide area at 3 inches depth needs about 1.8 cubic yards or ~2.5 tons, which will cost roughly $75 to $200 delivered depending on material; remember Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons, so your delivered price may reflect that minimum.

A 10x10 ft area (100 sq ft) needs about 0.6 cubic yards at 2 inches depth (roughly 0.8 to 1.0 ton) and about 1.2 cubic yards at 3 inches (roughly 1.6 to 2.0 tons). Because Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons, consider combining small jobs or topping up other areas to avoid paying for excess delivery volume.

Locally, crusher run, gravel screenings, or recycled concrete are usually the least expensive options because they are common and easy to source. Material names and availability vary regionally around Wilmington Island, so check Hello Gravel listings to compare low-cost local options.

With proper base preparation and regular maintenance (regrading and occasional top dressing), a gravel surface can function well for 10 to 20 years, with the top layer needing refresh every 3 to 5 years. In Wilmington Island, expect faster wear where tidal flooding, heavy rain, or poor drainage occur, so plan for periodic touch-ups.

Recycled concrete aggregate is often cheaper than new gravel and performs similarly when compacted, and crushed shells are a common low-cost option in coastal Georgia. For driveways, a compacted base of recycled material with a thin gravel topping can save money while keeping good performance.

Ten cubic yards of typical crushed stone weighs roughly 14 to 18 tons depending on material density. Pricing varies by type and delivery distance; request a Hello Gravel quote for Wilmington Island to see current per-yard or per-ton pricing and available truck sizes.

A mix is best: use a compactable base like 2 to 3 inches of crusher run or crushed stone, topped with 3/4-inch to 1-inch crushed stone (#57 or similar) for the wearing surface. Coastal conditions on Wilmington Island may favor angular crushed stone that locks together better than rounded river rock, improving durability and drainage.
