Using the wrong gravel or rock can lead to loose paths, poor drainage, or shifting beds. Each product here is suited to certain jobs, but not all. For instance, pea gravel moves easily underfoot and is not right for driveways, while crusher run locks tight and is not a finish material. The table below lists each product, its typical use, and a note on its limits.
| Product | Use | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel | Play areas, patios | Rounded and smooth; not stable for slopes or high traffic areas like driveways. |
| River Rock | Beds, borders, dry creek beds | Smooth stones for beds, borders, and dry creek beds; they do not compact. |
| 2-4" River Rock | Larger decorative cover and erosion control | Larger stones for decorative cover and erosion control; too large for walkways. |
| Drain Rock | French drains and dry wells | Angular rock for French drains and dry wells; not for decorative purposes. |
| Decomposed Granite | Paths and patios that compact firm | Compacts firm for paths and patios; not suitable for wet areas as it may erode. |
| Crusher Run | Compacting base under everything | A compacting base under everything including driveways; not for surface finish as it is rough. |
| Road Base | Lanes and pads that carry trucks | Designed for lanes and pads that carry trucks; not for decorative beds. |
The right material and depth make the difference between a project that holds up and one that fails. For example, a French drain needs angular drain rock that lets water through, while a path needs compactable decomposed granite. The table below matches five typical projects to the right gravel or rock.
| Project | What to Order | Depth or Note |
|---|---|---|
| Path that stays firm | Decomposed Granite | 2 to 3 inches after compaction |
| French drain | Drain Rock | 12 to 18 inches deep in trench |
| Erosion control on a slope | 2-4" River Rock | 3 to 4 inches on slope |
| Dry creek bed | River Rock | 4 to 6 inches for creek bed |
| Landscape beds | 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel | 1 to 2 inches for ground cover |
Annual precipitation across the cities we deliver to in South Carolina runs from 46 to 55 inches. This moisture means that base material under patios or paths needs to drain well to avoid shifting.
Freezing days range from about 22 to 65 days a year below 32F, depending on where in the state. Most of the state sits in the negligible band for ground freezing, so deep frost protection is not needed for most projects.
The most common soil types are hydrologic groups B and B/D, which drain moderately well. A deeper base of crusher run or road base can help stabilize surfaces in areas with slower drainage. Work can run most of the year in this climate, which makes scheduling the delivery the easy part.
