Gravel in Modoc, SC

Delivered gravel costs in the Modoc area vary by material, quantity, and distance from quarries. Expect a typical delivered range of about $35 to $80 per ton for common gravels in West South Carolina; small orders and decorative stone sit at the higher end. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum and works with local suppliers to show live pricing for your zip code.

Rough delivered price ranges (per ton) in West South Carolina are: crusher run $25-$55, 3/4u0022 crushed stone $30-$60, pea gravel $40-$75, and decorative river rock $60-$100. A handy conversion is roughly 1 cubic yard = 1.3 tons (varies by material), so divide or multiply accordingly to get a per-cubic-yard estimate.

A full 10–12 cubic yard tri-axle load in the Modoc area typically contains about 12–16 tons depending on material. Budget roughly $500 to $1,200 total delivered, where the lower end is for basic crusher run and the higher end is for decorative stone or long-haul deliveries. Final price depends on material, local supplier rates, and driveway access; Hello Gravel will show you supplier quotes for your address.

Assuming a 20 ft long by 10 ft wide driveway (single-car width), you need about: 2u0022 = 2.5 cubic yards (≈3.2 tons); 3u0022 = 3.7 cubic yards (≈4.8 tons); 4u0022 = 4.9 cubic yards (≈6.4 tons). If your driveway width differs, scale proportionally or use Hello Gravel's material calculator for a quick estimate.

Two inches is usually too thin for a long-lasting driveway in Modoc's rural conditions; it may work as a top dressing over a well-compacted base but will move under traffic. We recommend 3 to 4 inches of compacted surface gravel over a properly prepared subbase, and consider geotextile fabric and good subgrade compaction to limit rutting given local soils.

One cubic yard of gravel covers about 162 sq ft at 2u0022, 108 sq ft at 3u0022, and 81 sq ft at 4u0022. Because 1 ton is roughly 0.77 cubic yards (using 1.3 tons/yd3), one ton covers about 125 sq ft at 2u0022, 83 sq ft at 3u0022, and 62 sq ft at 4u0022; exact coverage varies with material density and compaction.

Local suppliers and quarries serving Modoc are typically located around Spartanburg and nearby towns in Cherokee and Spartanburg counties. Hello Gravel connects you to regional suppliers (local pits and national aggregate companies) that service your zip code; enter your address online to see available suppliers and live delivery options.

Crusher run (crush-and-screen mix) and recycled concrete are usually the most affordable options in West South Carolina and are commonly used as driveway base because they compact well. They work fine for a base layer, but for a finished surface you may prefer 3/4u0022 crushed stone or screened gravel for better drainage and a more stable wearing surface.

For small projects under Hello Gravel's 3-ton minimum, pick-up or buying bagged material at a local yard may be cheapest; for 3 tons or more, bulk delivery usually beats multiple small trips. Hiring a contractor adds labor but can save time and ensure proper base preparation; compare material-plus-delivery quotes on Hello Gravel to decide which option fits your budget and timeline.

Suppliers need your delivery address or zip code, material type and size, driveway length and width or desired depth, preferred delivery date, and notes about access (gates, low-hanging wires, soft ground). Also tell them if you want tailgate spreading (drivers may do this at their discretion) and provide a contact phone so the driver can coordinate on arrival.
