Gravel in Pinewood, SC

Typical delivered gravel prices in the Pinewood area vary by type and distance from the quarry. Expect a rough range of $25 to $60 per ton for common crushed stone and screened gravel, which converts to about $35 to $85 per cubic yard depending on density and material. Hello Gravel often includes delivery in many areas, but final price depends on material type, order size (minimum 3 tons), and your exact zip code—get a zip-based quote for an accurate price.

For Pinewood’s clay soils and frequent rain, angular crushed stone (for example 3/4" crushed rock or #57) with a compacted base performs best because it locks together and sheds water. Avoid loose pea gravel or smooth river rock for vehicle driveways since they shift and rut easily; use those only for decorative areas or walkways. Add a geotextile fabric under the base and provide edge restraint to reduce spreading and rutting.

A 12 ft x 40 ft area is 480 sq ft. At 3 inches (0.25 ft) you need about 4.44 cubic yards, which is roughly 6.2 tons of gravel; at 4 inches (0.33 ft) you need about 5.93 cubic yards, roughly 8.3 tons. Order 5-10% extra for compaction and settling, and remember Hello Gravel’s minimum order is 3 tons, so round up as needed.

Hello Gravel connects you to local suppliers and haulers serving Pinewood and Sumter County, and we source materials regionally so the product reflects local geology. For specific yards and contractors, check availability by entering your zip code on our site or call our team—local landscape supply yards and quarries in the Sumter/Columbia region commonly stock screened gravel, crushed stone, and pea gravel for delivery.

Angular crushed gravel drains well because gaps between particles allow water to pass through, making it effective for slope drainage and erosion control when sized and installed correctly. For steeper slopes, use larger rock at the toe, add geotextile fabric to separate soil and aggregate, and consider terraces, retaining walls, or vegetation to reduce runoff. Proper installation and occasional replenishment are key in West South Carolina’s heavy-rain events.

A compacted crushed-stone driveway with a proper base can last 10+ years with periodic maintenance like regrading and adding a few inches of top-up every 3-5 years. Pea gravel and loose river rock will need more frequent regrading and material top-ups, often every 1-3 years, and are more prone to rutting and potholes. In Pinewood’s climate, watch for washouts after heavy storms, control weeds with fabric or herbicide, and recompact problem spots after repairs.

Generally crushed stone is the most economical option, pea gravel sits mid-range, and decorative river rock is the most expensive. As a rough guide in West South Carolina, expect about $25-$50 per ton for crushed stone, $30-$60 per ton for pea gravel, and $40-$90 per ton for river rock—actual prices vary with color, size, and delivery distance.

Many local contractors and landscapers in the Pinewood/Sumter area offer full installation services including subgrade prep, compacted base, compaction, and edge restraints, especially for driveway projects. Hello Gravel focuses on supplying and delivering material; you can choose DIY delivery or coordinate with a contractor for installation. If you need spreading or light work, request tailgate spreading at checkout but note drivers perform that at their discretion and it is not guaranteed.

Deliveries are typically made by tri-axle dump trucks, so clear a 12- to 16-foot access path and check for low wires or tree limbs. Tell us where you want the load dumped in the Order Notes, leave room for the truck to maneuver, and expect standard delivery in 2+ business days or next-day for orders placed before noon CST with a fee. If you want spreading, request it at checkout, but plan for a contractor if you need guaranteed spreading and compaction.

As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

This involves pulling the truck forward as material is being dumped to make it easier for you to distribute material after delivery.

The minimum order size is 3 tons.
