Common gravel types in West Washington include 3/4" crushed stone (often called #57), crushed rock with fines (road base), and washed pea gravel or river rock. For South Hill driveways and high-traffic walkways, angular crushed stone (3/4" or 3/4" minus with fines) is usually best because it compacts and locks together. Washed pea gravel works well for decorative patios and paths but shifts more and is less suitable for vehicle traffic.

For a one-car driveway about 10-12 ft wide and 20 ft long, expect to need roughly 3 to 4 tons of gravel at 3-4 inches depth. If you want a stronger base (4-6 inches) or thicker top layer, plan on 4 to 6 tons. Hello Gravel has a material calculator you can use to enter your exact dimensions and preferred depth for a more precise estimate.

Yes, South Hill’s wet winters and local soils make drainage an important consideration: use well-draining, angular gravels and provide a compacted base layer to reduce settling. Adding a geotextile fabric under the gravel and installing edge drains or a slight crown in the driveway helps manage runoff and prevents washouts. For sites with poor soils or pooling water, consider perforated drainpipe or a crushed-rock French drain and consult a local contractor.

Hello Gravel typically works with local suppliers that have a 3-ton minimum order for delivery, which aligns with common regional minimums for bulk truck loads. Minimums can vary by supplier and delivery access; remote or tight-access sites may have higher fees.

For patios that need a stable, walkable surface, crushed rock compacted with fines is usually better because it locks together and resists movement. Washed pea gravel is excellent for decorative patios, casual seating areas, and rapid drainage applications, but it tends to shift under heavy use and vehicle traffic. For drainage trenches or dry creek beds, washed gravel or river rock is preferred because it allows water to flow freely.

Most South Hill homeowners should plan to regrade and add 1/2 to 1 inch of top gravel every 1 to 3 years, with more frequent attention after heavy winter storms or runoff events. Local contractors and landscapers typically offer regrading, compaction, edging installation, and periodic top-dressing services to maintain grades and prevent ruts. Proper initial compaction and drainage greatly reduce maintenance frequency.

Yes, check South Hill municipal regulations and your HOA rules before installing a gravel driveway: some HOAs require specific materials, colors, or edging, and the city may have stormwater or setback requirements. Contact your HOA and the City of South Hill zoning or public works office to confirm any restrictions or permit needs before ordering materials. If you need help, Hello Gravel's team can point you toward local resources and recommend contractors familiar with local rules.

Drivers may be able to provide tailgate spreading at their discretion; you can request spreading at checkout but there are no guarantees it will be performed. Spreading is more likely for simple, level drop sites; complex access, steep slopes, or safety concerns can prevent spreading. For a more consistent finish in South Hill, consider contracting a local landscaper for professional spreading and compaction after delivery.
