Tonnage depends on width and depth. For a common single-car driveway 20 ft long by 10 ft wide at 3 inches depth you need about 1.9 cubic yards (roughly 2.5 to 3 tons), so you will hit our 3-ton minimum. If your driveway is wider or you want a deeper base, order correspondingly more—contact us with exact dimensions for a quick calculation.

Yes, we can often deliver to residential addresses on Jekyll Island, but island access rules and staging constraints can affect delivery. Some streets, gates, or causeway regulations may limit truck size, timing, or require permits; please provide your exact address and any HOA or Jekyll Island Authority instructions when ordering so we can confirm feasibility and any extra charges.

On Jekyll Island's sandy and sometimes high water-table soils, preparing a base is recommended. Clear vegetation, grade and compact the subgrade, consider geotextile fabric, and install a 2-4 inch layer of larger base stone before top dressing to prevent mixing, rutting, and sinking. PRoper preparation improves drainage and reduces long-term maintenance.

Recycled crushed concrete and local native crushed stone are often the most economical driveway options in coastal Georgia. AvaIlability varies by supplier; Hello Gravel can check local inventory and show cost-effective options for Jekyll Island when you request a quote. Keep in mind that cheaper materials can require more maintenance in wet or sandy coastal conditions.

Approximate tonnage for 1,000 sq ft: 2u0022 depth ≈ 8.6 tons, 3u0022 ≈ 13.0 tons, 4u0022 ≈ 17.3 tons (using a common density for crushed stone). You can order that amount, but we recommend adding 5-10% extra for compaction and grading. Note that Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum and final tonnage may vary slightly by material density and local sourcing.

Hello Gravel focuses on delivery and does not perform full installation. Labor and installation costs on Jekyll Island vary by contractor, driveway complexity, and access; island deliveries may add labor or mobilization fees. For budgeting, contact local contractors for quotes and ask them to include base preparation, compaction, and edge control—we can help by delivering materials to their schedule.

We require a 3-ton minimum order for most deliveries, which aligns with typical dump truck loads and route economics. If you need less than 3 tons, consider local landscape suppliers for bagged products or combine orders with neighbors; contact our team and we will explore any avaIlable options for your Jekyll Island address.

For coastal Jekyll Island driveways choose well-draining, angular crushed stone for the base (3/4u0022 to 1.5u0022) and a finer wearing course like crushed stone screenings or 3/8u0022 gravel on top for a smooth surface. Natural shell products are popular locally for appearance but may shift more and require more upkeep. Price differences depend on local supply—crushed recycled materials tend to be cheapest, quarried crushed stone mid-range, and decorative wAshed shell or specialty mixes usually cost more; request a local quote to compare.
