Buy Crushed Stone in Loris, South Carolina

The size of crushed stone you choose changes how the material drains, compacts and holds under load. Loris gets about 55 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage and washout planning need to guide the depth and the aggregate grade you pick.

Each size has a job it does best. Order the wrong one and you get extra settling or poor locking. Gravel Monkey stocks the standard crushed stone sizes for construction, driveways and drainage.

How Loris weather and soil affect your crushed stone job

About 77 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Those wet days matter for scheduling a delivery onto firm ground. Without a hard freeze to lift the surface, drainage and washout are what decide how long the material lasts.

Freezing days hit about 39 days below 32F, but that is not deep enough to push the ground significantly. The work window stays open most of the year, and the base does not need extra depth for frost protection.

Soils mapped in the Loris area are commonly somewhat poorly drained. The ground around Loris falls in dual hydrologic group B/D: where it is drained, water moves in at a moderate rate; where it is not, most rain runs across the surface. That drainage difference makes a deeper base more important here than in places with free-draining soils. It pays to plan for water moving under the stone.

Estimating how much crushed stone you need

To figure out how many tons of crushed stone your project needs, measure the length, width and depth in feet, then use Gravel Monkey's crushed stone calculator. That tool turns the volume into tons for the size you want.

Frequently asked questions about crushed stone in Loris

How many tons of crushed stone do I need for my project?

The total tons depend on the volume of the area you are filling. Snowfall in Loris averages about 1 inch a year, so frost heave rarely factors into the depth calculation. Use the crushed stone calculator to get an exact tonnage.

Do you deliver crushed stone to Loris and the surrounding area?

Yes, Gravel Monkey delivers crushed stone to Loris and nearby communities. Ground freezing here is not a significant factor, so the base depth can focus on drainage instead of frost protection. A delivery date is chosen at checkout.

How far in advance should I order?

The delivery date must be at least 3 business days after the order is placed. You choose the date and a morning or afternoon window at checkout. Order a few days early to secure your preferred window.

Do you deliver to a job site with no one on it?

No, someone must be available at the site during the delivery window. If no one is there, a missed delivery or redelivery fee can apply. You can nominate a person to be present.
