Gravel in Savannah, GA

Prices vary by material type and supplier, but in Savannah you can expect a typical range of about $30 to $60 per ton delivered for common gravels. Decorative gravels like pea gravel or river rock are usually at the higher end. Check your zip code on Hello Gravel for exact, up-front pricing and available local options.

Coverage depends on depth: one ton of gravel will cover about 100 sq ft at 1 inch deep, about 50 sq ft at 2 inches, and roughly 33 sq ft at 3 inches. These are approximate because regional rock density and compaction change results. Use Hello Gravel’s material calculator for a more precise estimate for your Savannah project.

For basic base materials, sand and gravel are often similar in price per ton, though plain sand can be slightly cheaper. Decorative gravels and specialty sands cost more. Buying in bulk through Hello Gravel and choosing locally sourced materials will usually give the best price.

Crushed gravel is mechanically broken stone with angular edges, which compacts and locks together well for driveways and base layers. Natural or river gravel is rounded and smoother, making it better for decorative uses and drainage but less stable under traffic. In Savannah, crushed material is common for driveways while rounded gravels are used for landscaping accents.

Cost depends on truck size, material, and haul distance; a typical tri-axle dump load (about 12 to 16 tons) can cost roughly $400 to $1,000 delivered in the Savannah area. Hello Gravel’s site shows actual delivered prices for your address and the minimum order is 3 tons. Ask about delivery fees and next-day options when you get a quote.

The most economical approach is to buy in bulk from local suppliers and schedule delivery rather than buying bagged material. Choose base or crusher-run materials instead of decorative stones and use Hello Gravel to compare local suppliers and get transparent delivered pricing. Also consolidate orders to meet the 3-ton minimum to reduce per-ton cost.

Two inches is usually too thin for a driveway in Savannah; we recommend at least 3 to 4 inches of compacted gravel for light passenger vehicles and 4 to 6 inches if heavier loads are expected. Savannah’s coastal soils and periodic heavy rain mean a stable base and proper drainage are important. Consider preparing a compacted subbase before adding top gravel for best results.

A standard tri-axle dump truck used by many local haulers typically carries about 12 to 16 tons of gravel, depending on material density. Smaller single-axle trucks carry less, and some larger tandem or end-dump trucks can carry more. Hello Gravel will show truck type and typical load sizes when you place an order so you can plan accordingly.

Cost depends on driveway width, depth, and material. For example, a 20 ft long by 10 ft wide driveway at 3 inches deep needs roughly 3 tons of gravel; at $40 per ton that equals about $120 for material plus delivery and installation.

For aquarium use you want washed, aquarium-safe gravel rather than landscaping stone; a 55-gallon tank typically needs about 25 to 40 pounds to create a 1 to 2 inch layer. Decorative pea gravel is popular for tanks but be sure it is clean and free of fines to avoid water chemistry issues. This is a different product than bulk landscaping gravel, and bags are the usual purchase method.

Base materials such as crusher-run, bank run, or recycled concrete fines are typically the least expensive because they include a mix of sizes and fines suited for sub-bases. Decorative gravels like river rock or colored pea gravel cost more. For the best price, compare local supplier quotes on Hello Gravel and consider non-decorative materials for functional uses.

A 50 lb bag of pea gravel contains roughly 0.5 cubic feet, which covers about 6 sq ft at 1 inch depth or about 3 sq ft at 2 inches depth. Because Savannah projects are often larger, buying bulk tons is usually cheaper than many bags. If you need bags for small decorative spots, Hello Gravel can recommend local retailers or bulk delivery options.

No loose gravel truly becomes concrete, but compacted crushed limestone or crusher-run with fines can form a firm, near-rigid surface when well compacted and damp. There are also stabilizing products and polymer binders that lock gravel into a solid surface for paths and driveways. For a concrete-like finish in Savannah, discuss stabilized gravel options or consider a paved surface depending on load and longevity needs.

'Type 3' is a term sometimes used for a graded base material that includes a mix of stone sizes plus fines, suitable for driveways and road bases. Exact composition can vary by state and supplier, so confirm local specs. In Savannah, materials similar to Type 3 are commonly used as a compactable base under driveways and hardscape projects; check with your Hello Gravel supplier for the specific blend available near you.
