A yard is a volume measure (cubic yard) while a truckload depends on truck type and how material is measured (tons or cubic yards). Many of our deliveries use tri-axle dump trucks that typically hold several cubic yards, but exact capacity varies by hauler and material density. Ask your quote whether the price is per yard or per truck to compare options. We can help translate between cubic yards and tons if you provide the material and intended depth.

Multiply length by width by depth (in feet) to get cubic feet, then divide by 27 to get cubic yards. For example, a 20x20 area at 4 inches deep is about 11.1 cubic yards; always round up and add 5-10% for compaction and waste. Tonnage depends on the material (gravel, sand, dirt, stone) so use our online calculator or ask for help when placing your order. Planning ahead avoids underordering and extra delivery fees.

There isn’t one best material—good choices depend on the project. For structural bases and driveways you’ll typically want a stable aggregate, while leveling or bedding often uses finer material; drainage areas benefit from free-draining mixes. Because materials are regionally sourced in South Carolina, consider local mixes and ask our team for recommendations based on your slope, traffic, and drainage needs. We can suggest options that balance cost, appearance, and performance for your specific site.

North Santee is in a warm, humid region with heavy seasonal rain, so choose materials that drain well and resist washout. Materials sourced locally will reflect the region’s geology, so expect color and texture variations. For wet sites, consider aggregates that promote runoff and stable bases to avoid rutting. Our team can help match materials to local conditions and recommend installation tips for wet-weather periods.

Standard delivery is typically 2+ business days after ordering, with a next-day option available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. You choose your preferred delivery date during checkout, and we confirm details before dispatch. Deliveries are made by contracted dump trucks; make sure the drop area is accessible and free of obstacles. Tailgate spreading may be requested at checkout but is performed at the driver’s discretion and is not guaranteed.

Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, but this service is not guaranteed. Request spreading in the Order Notes at checkout and the driver will assess safety and access upon arrival. If spreading is essential, consider hiring local labor or arranging a crew to finish placement before the driver leaves. We recommend clarifying expectations in advance to avoid misunderstandings on delivery day.

Clear a level drop zone with enough room for a dump truck to pull up, and remove low-hanging branches, vehicles, or other obstructions. Confirm where you want material placed and mark any sensitive areas like septic covers, utilities, or lawns. If trucks must travel across a lawn or soft surface, plan for matting or temporary protection to reduce rutting. Provide clear access notes when ordering to help the driver and avoid extra handling fees.

Contact our team as soon as possible if you need to change or cancel an order; it’s easier to accommodate requests before an order is dispatched. Changes may depend on supplier processing and trucking schedules, so early notice improves the chance of a smooth update. We will do our best to accommodate requests but cannot guarantee all changes after processing. Refer to our order policy or contact customer service for next steps.

Materials reflect regional sourcing and local geology, so color, texture, and consistency can vary from photos. Images are representative examples; the actual material delivered in North Santee may look different based on local supplier stock. If color or texture is important, note your preference in the order notes and ask for photos before delivery when possible. We’ll work with suppliers to match expectations, but exact matches are not guaranteed.

Sometimes local rules, county ordinances, or HOA guidelines affect where you can place bulk materials, especially if delivery will occur in a right-of-way or public easement. Check with Clarendon County or your local municipality and any homeowners association before ordering. If permits or special access are required, include that information when you order so we can coordinate with the supplier and driver. When in doubt, confirm local regulations to avoid fines or delivery delays.

Truckload cost depends on material type, quantity, distance from the supplier, and truck size. Ask for a quote that specifies whether pricing is per cubic yard or per truckload, and confirm any additional fees for distance, offloading time, or special access. Remember Hello Gravel’s minimum order is 3 tons and delivery fees vary by zip code, so enter your zip and desired quantity online for a transparent price. Our team can also provide comparisons and suggest quantities to minimize extra deliveries.
