Gravel in Skidaway Island, GA

Prices vary by gravel type and supplier, but expect roughly $30 to $60 per ton delivered for common crushed gravel in the Skidaway Island area. Coastal delivery, material type (washed vs. unwashed), and seasonal demand can push prices higher or lower, so check your zip code and request a quote for an exact price.

A typical tri-axle dump truck carries about 10 to 12 cubic yards (roughly 12 to 18 tons for gravel), so multiply the per-ton price by that tonnage to estimate cost. Local factors on Skidaway Island like narrow roads, bridge limits, or staging restrictions can change which truck can deliver and may increase the overall price; get a hole-by-hole quote to be sure.

One ton equals 2,000 lb, and many consumer half-ton pickups do not have a safe payload rating for a full ton of gravel. Check your truck's payload capacity on the door placard or owner manual; heavier-duty 3/4-ton or 1-ton trucks can usually carry a ton, but Hello Gravel's minimum delivery is 3 tons for most locations.

One ton of crushed gravel is about 0.7 cubic yards and will cover roughly 110 ft2 at a 2-inch depth or about 38 ft2 at a 6-inch depth. Coverage depends on gravel size and compaction, so use these as estimates and calculate required quantity with area and desired depth before ordering.

Ordering in bulk (meet Hello Gravel's 3-ton minimum) from a local supplier is typically cheaper per ton than buying bagged gravel at retail. Compare material types, request quotes for different delivery dates, and consider common local materials to reduce hauling distance and cost; narrow island access can increase cost for oversized trucks, so plan delivery location carefully.

Assuming a single-car driveway 20 ft long and 10 ft wide (200 ft2) at a 3-inch compacted gravel depth, you need about 1.85 cubic yards (roughly 2.6 tons), which meets Hello Gravel's 3-ton minimum. Using a delivered price range of $30 to $60 per ton, material cost would be about $90 to $180 plus any delivery or site-access fee; final cost depends on base preparation, compaction, and material choice.

Yes. Skidaway Island has some narrow roads and residential areas where large dump trucks may have limited access or staging space, which can affect delivery placement and fees. When you order, note driveway access, gates, and preferred drop location; drivers may perform tailgate spreading at their discretion but Hello Gravel does not guarantee spreading services.

For driveways and general use on coastal Skidaway Island, washed crushed stone (for example 57 or 3/4u0022 minus) offers good drainage and compaction; coarser stone works well for drive lanes while finer stone is better for walkways and paver bases.
