Buy Crushed Gravel in Loris, South Carolina

Loris gets about 55 inches of precipitation a year. That much rain means washout and drainage planning matter when you build with crushed gravel. The size you choose changes how the material behaves under those conditions.

Crushed gravel comes in several angular, interlocking sizes. Pick the one that matches your ground and your load.

Crushed Gravel Sizes Available in Loris

Choosing the Right Crushed Gravel for Your Project

Match the project to the size and depth. The table below shows five common jobs and what we recommend for each.

How the Local Climate and Soil Affect Your Crushed Gravel Job

Frost is not the constraint here, so the calendar is driven by rain and by how wet the ground is. About 77 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain. That means you want to schedule the delivery onto firm ground, not a soaked yard.

About 39 days a year drop below 32F. Freeze-thaw cycles make the ground move, so a deeper base helps keep the surface flat. Snowfall averages about 1 inch a year, which is light but can cause plowing damage to a loose gravel surface if the blade catches the stone.

Soils mapped in the Loris area are commonly somewhat poorly drained. The ground around Loris is in dual hydrologic group B/D. Where it is drained it takes water in at a moderate rate; where it is not, it takes water in very slowly, so most rain runs across the surface. This means drainage and a deeper base layer matter more here than in places with better natural drainage. Extra base stone under the surface layer is a good idea, but how much depends on your specific site.

How Much Crushed Gravel You Need

Frequently Asked Questions About Crushed Gravel in Loris

How much does crushed gravel delivery cost in Loris?

Delivery cost depends on the ZIP code and the tonnage. Enter your address at checkout to see the price. Loris gets about 55 inches of rain a year, so delivery timing can matter if the ground is wet, but there is no extra fee for standard access.

Does the soil around Loris change how much crushed gravel I need?

Yes. Soils mapped in the Loris area are commonly somewhat poorly drained. That means you may need more base stone under the surface layer to keep the gravel stable. The depth depends on your site drainage; a deeper base is often wise.

What is the difference between the sizes you stock?

The size changes how the stone interlocks, how much weight it carries, and how well it drains. Smaller sizes like 3/8 inch compact into a tight surface. Larger sizes like 2 to 3 inches create a open framework for mud control and deep fill.

Can a contractor order on behalf of a customer?

Yes. The contractor can place the order online using the customer's delivery address. A valid phone number is required to confirm the delivery. The same delivery window and approval process apply.
