Conway sits in a humid, coastal plain environment with sandy soils, occasional clay pockets, and areas with a higher water table near creeks and rivers. For wet or low-lying sites choose materials and construction methods that improve drainage and reduce erosion, such as coarser aggregates, proper grading, and geotextile underlayers. If you are in a known floodplain check local maps and consider professional site evaluation before ordering.

High humidity and frequent rain accelerate vegetation growth, wash fines from surfaces, and can cause staining or color changes over time. Nearer the coast, salt exposure and more intense storms increase erosion and corrosion risks. Plan for periodic topping or replenishment, good edge restraint, and proper drainage to extend performance.

Spring and fall are usually the most favorable for delivery and installation because of milder temperatures and more predictable weather. Avoid scheduling major earthwork during the wettest months or immediately after heavy rains, and plan deliveries at least 2+ business days in advance; next-day delivery may be available for orders placed before noon CST. Coordinate with your contractor and monitor the forecast for the best results.

Permits and HOA rules depend on the scope of work and your specific neighborhood. Simple surface refreshes may not need permits, but changing footprint, adding impervious surfaces, or regrading often requires local permits or HOA approval. Check Conway city or Horry County planning offices and your HOA guidelines before ordering materials.

Homeowners choose a mix of aggregates and soils for affordability, drainage, and low maintenance: gravels and crushed stone for driveways, sand and base mixes for paving, and quality topsoil or dirt for planting areas. Local color and texture preferences reflect regional geology, so regionally sourced materials often match neighborhood aesthetics. Consider appearance, drainage needs, and maintenance when selecting materials.

Costs are generally similar across the same metro region but can vary with distance from suppliers and seasonal demand. Conway’s inland location can sometimes lower coastal delivery charges, while Myrtle Beach-area deliveries may carry higher transport costs. Always check zip-based pricing in our checkout for the most accurate comparison.

Typical delivery trucks are tri-axle dump trucks; you should provide clear access, adequate driveway width, and overhead clearance for safe dumping. Note any weight limits, soft ground, tight turns, steep drives, or landscaping features that could block a truck—these conditions may require smaller trucks or additional fees. Share site photos or notes at checkout and request special instructions if access is tight.

Small landscaping jobs can be completed within a day or a few days after delivery, while driveways and patios that require base preparation, compaction, and curing often take several days to a few weeks. Weather, contractor schedules, and permitting can lengthen timelines, so build extra time into your project plan. Coordinate material delivery with your contractor to avoid delays.

Start by defining the function (driveway, patio, planting, drainage), expected loads, and desired look, then consider local soil, drainage, and maintenance needs. Use our material calculator and chat with our sales team for recommendations based on your zip code and project size. Ordering a slightly larger quantity for settling and coverage is often wise for exterior projects.

Contact our team as soon as possible—changes are easiest before an order is processed or dispatched. We will do our best to accommodate modifications but cannot guarantee changes once a truck has been assigned or materials loaded. See our order policies or contact customer service for help.
