For most driveways, 2 inches is too thin. Driveways typically need 3 to 6 inches of compacted gravel (with a compacted base) to handle vehicle weight and local rain. In Richlands’ humid climate, plan for better compaction and drainage by using a thicker base and appropriate crushed stone.

Buying in bulk and choosing locally sourced, common materials (like crusher run or recycled base) keeps costs down. Use Hello Gravel to compare local supplier prices, schedule delivery to avoid extra fees, and consider pick-up if you have a vehicle that can haul the load. Remember our minimum order is 3 tons and delivery fees vary by location.

Coverage depends on depth. As a rule of thumb, 1 ton of gravel covers about 200 sq ft at 1 inch depth, about 100 sq ft at 2 inches, and roughly 65 to 70 sq ft at 3 inches. Use these estimates to calculate needs, then confirm tonnage with Hello Gravel for the exact local material density.

A 20x20 driveway is 400 sq ft.

For driveways in the Richlands area, a compactable crushed stone (3/4u0022 crushed stone or crusher run) makes a good base because it locks together and drains well. Top layers can be smaller crushed stone or decorative gravel depending on appearance and use. Choose materials with good angularity and fines for compaction in the local humid climate; Hello Gravel can show local options.

Yes. Richlands (population about 17,320) sits in coastal plain geology, so locally sourced gravel may be sandier and lighter in color than mountain stone. Regional sourcing means texture and color vary by supplier; you can request color preferences in Order Notes and we’ll connect you with nearby options that reflect local geology.

Most homeowners in small towns like Richlands can store delivered gravel on private property, but plan placement to keep it off sidewalks and public right-of-ways. Choose a stable, level area away from storm drains and protect lawn or drive surfaces if needed; if you have concerns about overnight security or local rules, check with town ordinances or your homeowners association.

Don’t overdo gravel in planting soil: adding small amounts of coarse grit or sand (about 10% to 30% maximum for specific drainage needs) can help drainage, but large volumes of gravel will actually reduce root access to moisture and nutrients. For raised beds in Richlands’ humid climate, focus on well-draining topsoil plus organic matter and use gravel mainly for paths or base layers, not as a bulk soil amendment.

Prices vary by type and supplier, but a rough range in our service area is $30 to $80 per ton, and roughly $40 to $120 per cubic yard depending on material. For exact local pricing, availability, and delivery timing in Richlands, request a quote or check your zip code on Hello Gravel.
