Gravel in Graniteville, SC

A typical Hello Gravel delivery uses a tri-axle dump truck that carries about 10-12 cubic yards (roughly 14-17 tons of crushed gravel). At a 2-inch finished depth, one truck will cover about 1,600 sq ft; at 3 inches it covers about 1,080 sq ft. Actual coverage varies with gravel size, compaction, and local grading, so use our material calculator or contact our team for a precise estimate.

Prices vary by material and supplier, but in the West South Carolina region delivered gravel often runs roughly $20 to $60 per ton depending on type and processing. That means 500 tons could cost about $10,000 to $30,000 delivered to Graniteville, excluding special hauling, spreading, or site-prep fees. For an exact quote, request a local estimate through Hello Gravel since we source regional suppliers.

Some areas include delivery in the per-ton price, while others charge a delivery fee based on distance and site access. Typical delivery fees in the region range from free up to about $50-$200 for common residential jobs, but remote or difficult access can cost more. Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum and offers standard delivery in 2+ business days, with next-day delivery available for an extra fee.

A layered approach works best: put a compacted base of 4-6 inches of larger stone or recycled base, then a 2-3 inch layer of 3/4u0022 crushed stone or #57 gravel as a wearing surface. 3/4u0022 crushed stone is a common top coat in West South Carolina because it compacts well and sheds water. Local suppliers may offer slightly different aggregate sizes based on regional geology, so mention your desired look and use at checkout.

Two inches of gravel is generally too thin for a driveway you want to last. For a durable driveway we recommend at least a 4-6 inch consolidated base plus a 2-3 inch top dressing of crushed stone. If you’re replacing or resurfacing, plan on regrading and adding more depth to address drainage and rutting concerns common in our area.

Tonnage depends on width and desired depth. For a common single-lane driveway 100 ft long by 10 ft wide at 3 inches depth you’ll need about 13 tons (roughly 9.3 cubic yards). For a wider 20 ft driveway at the same depth, expect about 26 tons. Use our calculator or tell us your exact width and depth and we’ll estimate tons for your address.

Hello Gravel deliveries are typically made with tri-axle dump trucks that haul about 10-12 cubic yards, which converts to roughly 14-17 tons of gravel depending on material density. Smaller local end-dumps or tandem trucks have different capacities, and your order can sometimes be split across trucks for larger deliveries. If you need a single specific truck size, note it in Order Notes and our team will try to accommodate it when possible.

Use larger stone (1-2u0022) or recycled base for under driveways and pads, 3/4u0022 crushed stone or #57 for driveway surfaces and walkways, and smaller fines or screenings for compacted pathways and patio bases. River rock and pea gravel are decorative choices for gardens and drainage but don’t compact as well for driveways. Regional suppliers may offer slightly different names for the same sizes, so check photos and ask our team if you’re unsure.

Buying in bulk through a delivery platform like Hello Gravel reduces per-ton cost compared with small bags, and local suppliers often charge less than out-of-area quarries. Combine orders with neighbors, pick simpler, less-processed materials (like river run), or schedule standard delivery rather than rush service to keep costs down. Always factor in site prep and potential spreading fees when comparing prices.

A 20x20 area is 400 sq ft. At a 3-inch depth you’ll need roughly 3.7 cubic yards or about 5.2 tons of gravel. With typical regional material prices and delivery, expect raw material costs in the low hundreds (for example, $150-$400), plus any delivery, spreading, or site-prep charges. Request a quote through Hello Gravel for a tailored price to your address and material choice.

Cost per linear foot depends on driveway width, depth, and material. For a 10-ft-wide driveway at 3 inches depth, material and delivery typically average about $4 to $15 per linear foot in this region, so a 100-ft run would often cost between $400 and $1,500 for materials and basic delivery. Final price depends on supplier, driveway prep, and whether you request next-day delivery or tailgate spreading.

Graniteville has a population of about 12,860. Local population size can influence how many local suppliers and haulers serve the area, which affects availability, material variety, and delivery pricing. Hello Gravel sources regionally, so we’ll connect you with nearby suppliers to keep delivery efficient and costs competitive.

Due to local geology and historical industry, materials sourced near Graniteville may include granite-derived aggregates and river-run stone with a mix of gray and tan tones. Because Hello Gravel sources regionally, color and texture can vary from batch to batch; include color notes at checkout if you have a preference. If an exact match is critical, request photos from the supplier before delivery.

William Gregg founded the Graniteville textile mill in the 1840s and shaped the town’s early industrial economy. That history led to local infrastructure and transport routes that still affect how materials are quarried and hauled into the area. For gravel buyers, that means established local suppliers and trucking networks are available—Hello Gravel taps into those regional resources for delivery.
