A common truckload (tri-axle) holds about 10-12 tons; delivered cost for a truckload of crush-and-run in Chatham County typically ranges from about $350-$900. Final price depends on the exact tonnage, supplier rates, and delivery distance, so request a quote through Hello Gravel to lock in price and delivery.

Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons, which is a requirement across our network. Many Chatham County deliveries have little or no delivery fee for orders above the minimum, but in some locations or for very small orders there may be a delivery charge (commonly $0-$150). Standard delivery timing is 2+ business days, and next-day delivery may be available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee.

Same-week delivery is often possible in Chatham County when local supplier inventory and truck schedules allow, but it is subject to availability. Drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion; you can request this service at checkout but it is not guaranteed and will be assessed for safety and feasibility on arrival. For installation or full spreading services, consider hiring a local contractor and ask Hello Gravel for recommended providers.

Common options in Chatham County include crush-and-run (base), crushed stone (for driveways and pads), pea gravel (decorative and permeable), river rock, and coastal shells or shell mixes in some areas. Generally, crush-and-run is most economical, crushed stone and pea gravel are mid-range, and decorative river rock or specialty shell mixes are the most expensive per ton. Regional sourcing means availability and color/texture will reflect local geology, so samples or photos are useful when choosing.

Local rules can apply: the City of Savannah and Chatham County have regulations about blocking public streets, heavy truck access, work-hour noise restrictions, and curb cuts. For large deliveries that stage trucks on a public road or that require heavy equipment, check with city or county public works or your homeowners association before scheduling. If you are unsure, contact Hello Gravel and your local permitting office so we can help coordinate and avoid surprises.

A quick rule: 1 cubic yard of gravel is about 1.4 tons (density varies by material). For example, a 12-foot by 50-foot driveway at a 3-inch top layer needs roughly 6 cubic yards (about 8 tons); if you need a 6-inch base, double that amount. Suppliers and Hello Gravel can provide firm quotes once you confirm dimensions, depth, and material type; use our material calculator or send measurements for an accurate estimate.

Picking up material yourself usually removes the delivery fee, so it can be cheaper if you have a suitable truck and can load/unload safely. For many Chatham County customers, the savings cover the cost of a truck rental or time, but for larger loads or if you need hauling coordination, delivery often provides better value and convenience. Ask Hello Gravel for both pickup and delivered quotes so you can compare total costs and logistical trade-offs.
