Crushed Gravel ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your South Carolina address and unloads right where you point.
Driveways, shed pads and site access roads all need a stable base. Crushed gravel gives you angular stone that locks together under compaction, whether you are placing a fine layer of 3/8" Crushed Gravel or building a heavy load path with 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel.
Gravel Monkey delivers crushed gravel across South Carolina by the ton. You order online, see the delivered price for your ZIP before checkout, and the truck brings the load to your address.
The product line splits between fine finish materials and structural base stone. Each size serves a specific part of the job.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Crushed Gravel | Fine compacting layer | Creates a smooth, tight surface for pathways and under pavers. |
| 3/4" Crushed Gravel | The workhorse size for base and drives | Balances compaction strength with drainage for most residential jobs. |
| 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Structural base under heavy loads | Used under concrete slabs and commercial parking areas. |
| 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | First lift over soft subgrade | Bridges weak soil before the finer base goes on top. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | Mud control and deep fill | Provides a porous, structural layer in wet or unstable ground. |
The table below matches project type to the best material choice, comparing a budget option with a long-term option where it matters.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Soft or muddy subgrade | 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | 6 to 8 inches as first lift; caps with 3/4" if traffic is light. |
| Shed or slab pad | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | 4 to 6 inches, compacted, on prepared ground. |
| Trench backfill | 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Fills voids around pipes; use 3/8" for final grade. |
| Compacted base | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | 4 to 6 inches after compaction, geotextile below if soil is soft. |
| Farm and site access road | 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | 8 to 10 inches, with a 3/4" wearing course on top. |
Across the cities we deliver to in South Carolina, annual precipitation runs from about 46 to 55 inches. The state also sees about 22 to 65 days a year below 32F, depending on where in the state. Most of South Carolina sits in the negligible band for ground freezing. This means drainage and washout are what decide how long the material lasts, not frost heave.
The hydrologic soil groups B and B/D are the most common across the served cities. Soils in those groups drain moderately well or have a seasonal high water table. That translates into base depth guidance: on a B/D soil, you may need an extra 2 to 4 inches of crushed gravel to prevent the base from pumping in wet weather.

Gravel Monkey delivers to addresses across South Carolina, not only the cities listed here.
Crushed gravel is sold by the ton, so you need to convert your project volume into weight. A cubic yard of crushed gravel typically weighs about 1.4 tons, but that varies with stone density and moisture. For a quick estimate, use our material calculators to enter your area and depth, and it will give you the tonnage.
Because crushed gravel is a heavy material, delivery pricing depends on how far the truck travels from our supplier network. You order online by the ton, and the delivered price for your ZIP shows before you pay. Loads range from 1 to 40-plus tons, and free delivery applies on qualifying orders.

We carry a full yard of aggregates. These materials pair well with crushed gravel or offer an alternative.
South Carolina experiences about 22 to 65 days below freezing each year, but most of the state is in a negligible frost band. This means seasonal road restrictions from frost heave are rare. If your road has weight limits, check with your local authority before ordering.
Annual rainfall across the cities we serve runs from 46 to 55 inches, and most of the state has hydrologic soil groups B or B/D. On a B/D soil you may need a thicker base layer to prevent washout. In areas with higher rainfall, choose a coarser gravel like 1 1/2" to improve drainage.
