Gravel in Pooler, GA

Prices vary by material and supplier, but expect roughly $35 to $65 per ton delivered in the Pooler area for common gravels like crush-and-run or #57 stone. Heavier or decorative gravels (pea gravel, river rock) and shorter lead times can increase cost. Hello Gravel has a minimum order of 3 tons and can provide a precise delivered price for your zip code.

Gravel (especially crush-and-run) is generally the more practical and often cheaper long-term choice for driveways in Pooler because it compacts and forms a stable surface. Sand may be less expensive per ton but needs more depth and does not bind well, so it usually requires more maintenance. Choose material based on function: use crush-and-run for base and a crushed stone for the wearing surface.

Coverage depends on depth: at 2 inches one ton covers about 120–130 sq ft, at 3 inches about 80–85 sq ft, and at 4 inches about 60–65 sq ft. These figures assume typical crushed stone density; actual coverage varies by material and compaction. Always round up and allow a little waste when ordering.

It depends on width and depth. For a 100 ft long by 12 ft wide driveway with a 3-inch depth you’ll need roughly 14–16 tons (about 11–12 cubic yards). If you want a thicker base (4–6 inches) plan for correspondingly more material — roughly 20–30 tons for a heavier base. Use Hello Gravel’s material calculator or contact our team for a precise estimate.

If you have a trailer and can pick up directly from a local supplier you’ll often save on delivery fees, but factor in truck rental, time, and weight limits. For most homeowners, ordering the minimum 3 tons through Hello Gravel can be cost-effective because we arrange local suppliers and haulers and often offer transparent delivery pricing. Compare per-ton price plus delivery and consider coordinating orders with neighbors to lower costs.

A typical tri-axle dump truck used in our network carries about 12–16 tons of crushed stone, depending on local road rules and material density. A 7x14 dump trailer usually holds about 4–7 tons of gravel depending on side height and trailer GVWR. Always confirm actual capacity with the hauler before loading to avoid overages or safety issues.

For Pooler’s clay subsoils and wet-season conditions we typically recommend a compactable base like crush-and-run (crusher run) with a surface layer of 3/4u0022 crushed stone or #57 stone for drainage and traction. Decorative pea gravel is an option for aesthetics but needs edging and maintenance. You can order these materials through Hello Gravel to get local suppliers and delivery scheduled to your address.

Supply-only for a 100 ft x 12 ft driveway at 3 inches depth typically runs about $500–$1,000 based on 14–16 tons at $35–$65 per ton. Professional installation (grading, base prep, spreading, compaction) can add $800–$2,500 depending on site access and contractor rates. For exact pricing get a delivered material quote from Hello Gravel and at least two local installation estimates.

One cubic yard is 27 cubic feet and typically weighs about 1.2–1.4 tons depending on the gravel type. As a rule of thumb, one cubic yard (about 1.2–1.4 tons) covers roughly 100–130 sq ft at a 2-inch depth; one ton covers roughly 120 sq ft at 2 inches. Coverage varies with stone size, compaction, and desired depth, so use these as approximations and order a little extra.

A 55-gallon drum holds about 7.35 cubic feet, which is roughly 0.27 cubic yards. That volume of gravel weighs roughly 0.3–0.4 tons depending on material density. Order at least 0.3 tons and round up to the nearest practical purchase amount.

No. Two inches is a thin surface dressing, not a proper base. For a stable driveway in Pooler you should plan on at least 4–6 inches of compactable base material (crush-and-run) over a prepared subgrade, with an additional 2–3 inches of surface stone if desired. Adequate depth and compaction reduce rutting and maintenance in our local clay soils.

A 7x14 dump trailer with typical 18-inch sides holds roughly 4.5–5.5 cubic yards (about 5–6 cubic yards if sides are higher). Exact capacity depends on side height and whether you measure heaped vs level load. Check the trailer’s stated cubic yard capacity and the material’s weight limits before loading.

One ton will spread approximately 120–130 sq ft at a 2-inch depth, about 80–85 sq ft at 3 inches, and about 60–65 sq ft at 4 inches. Differences in stone size, compaction, and moisture will change coverage, so treat these numbers as estimates and allow extra for settling and waste. If in doubt, contact Hello Gravel for help calculating your exact needs.

Yes for most driveways. Crush-and-run compacts into a firm, interlocking base that resists movement and rutting, which is important on Pooler’s clay subsoils and in wet weather. Loose rounded gravel or river rock looks nice but shifts more under vehicle traffic and requires edging and frequent regrading. Many homeowners use crush-and-run for the base and a smaller crushed stone as the wearing surface for the best balance of stability and appearance.
