Crushed Gravel ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Rincon address and unloads right where you point.
Effingham County saw about 790 single-family homes permitted in 2024, and many of those new properties sit on lots that need a solid gravel surface. From suburban driveways to rural barn approaches, crushed gravel is the go-to material for a stable, long-lasting base.
Because Rincon gets about 50 inches of precipitation a year, drainage and washout planning matter when you put down a gravel surface. The right crushed gravel mix and proper base preparation help keep the material in place through wet weather.
Crushed gravel comes in several angular sizes, each suited to a different layer or load. The table below shows what we stock and what each size is typically used for.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Crushed Gravel | fine compacting layer | Use as a top dressing over larger base stone for a smooth finish. |
| 3/4" Crushed Gravel | the workhorse size for base and drives | The most versatile size for driveways, paths, and utility pads. |
| 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | structural base under heavy loads | Use where farm trucks or equipment will travel regularly. |
| 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | first lift over soft subgrade | Stabilizes soft ground before placing a finer top layer. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | mud control and deep fill | Best for muddy spots, deep ruts, or filling low areas. |
Whether you are fixing a muddy access road or building a shed pad, matching the size to the job keeps the surface stable. This table pairs common projects with the recommended crushed gravel.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Farm and site access road | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | Compacted base for vehicle traffic |
| Shed or slab pad | 3/8" Crushed Gravel | Tight compaction for a level surface |
| Soft or muddy subgrade | 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | First lift to stabilize the ground |
| Trench backfill | 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | Deep fill that also provides drainage |
| Compacted base | 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Structural support under heavy loads |
Rincon gets about 50 inches of precipitation a year, which means you need to plan for drainage and washout when installing a crushed gravel surface. Proper slope and base preparation help keep the gravel from migrating.
About 70 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain, so scheduling deliveries onto firm ground matters. The county also sees about 21 days a year below freezing, which narrows the work window for placing and compacting gravel in winter. Frost is not a significant factor here, so the base layer does not need extra depth for frost heave.
Soils mapped in the Rincon area are commonly somewhat excessively drained. This area guidance suggests you may need a slightly thicker base stone under the surface layer to maintain stability. The ground around Rincon is in hydrologic group A, which soaks water up quickly and produces little runoff, reducing the need for additional drainage stone beneath the surface. Frost is not the constraint here, so the calendar is driven by rain and by how wet the ground is.
To figure out how many tons of crushed gravel you need, measure the length and width of the area and decide on the depth. Use our material calculators to get an estimate based on your project dimensions.

Yes. Soils in the Rincon area are commonly somewhat excessively drained, so you may need a slightly thicker base layer to maintain stability. The ground's hydrologic group means it soaks water quickly, which can reduce the need for additional drainage stone beneath the surface.
We stock five sizes from 3/8 inch up to 2 to 3 inches. The smallest is used for a fine compacting layer, the medium sizes for base and driveways, and the largest for mud control and deep fill. The size you need depends on the project's purpose and the subgrade conditions.
The depth needed depends on the subgrade conditions and the weight of vehicles using the driveway. For most residential driveways, a compacted base of at least a few inches of crushed gravel is necessary to prevent rutting and maintain stability.
