Crushed Gravel ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Moncks Corner address and unloads right where you point.
Crushed gravel and crushed stone both come as angular, fractured aggregates, but crushed gravel forms naturally with a wider range of particle shapes. That can mean better interlock for load-bearing surfaces, though more fines than a crushed granite product. Knowing which one you need comes down to the project and the ground underneath.
Moncks Corner gets about 53 inches of precipitation a year, which puts drainage planning at the front of any gravel job. A well-compacted crushed gravel base handles water better than a loose fill, especially on a site that sees regular traffic.
Each crushed gravel size solves a different problem, but none work well as a finished walking surface without a top layer. The fines in the smaller grades help compaction, while larger stone provides structure over soft ground. Here are the options you can order by the ton for a Moncks Corner address.
| Product | Best Use | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Crushed Gravel | Fine compacting layer | Not a top dressing for foot traffic; too many fines for a clean path surface. |
| 3/4" Crushed Gravel | Workhorse size for base and drives | Not for deep fill over mud; needs a larger stone first. |
| 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Structural base under heavy loads | Not a wearing course; too coarse for a smooth drive surface. |
| 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | First lift over soft subgrade | Not for shallow applications; needs at least 6 inches of depth to work. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | Mud control and deep fill | Not for compacted base layers; too large to lock into a firm surface. |
The surface you are building tells you which crushed gravel size to order. The table below matches common Moncks Corner projects to the product that handles the load and drainage conditions.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Trench backfill | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | Compact in 6-inch lifts |
| Soft or muddy subgrade | 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | 12-inch minimum before top layers |
| Farm and site access road | 3/4" Crushed Gravel over 2"-3" base | Base depth depends on soil bearing |
| Shed or slab pad | 3/8" Crushed Gravel | 4 to 6 inches after compaction |
| Compacted base | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | Use for sub-base under concrete or asphalt |
Moncks Corner sees about 74 days a year with at least a tenth of an inch of rain. That means scheduling the delivery onto firm ground matters: you want the site dry enough for the truck to place the load without rutting. The area gets roughly 45 freezing days a year, so the ground can shift as it thaws, which makes a deep enough base important for any surface that needs to stay level.
Snowfall here runs about 0 inches a year, so plowing damage to a loose driveway surface is not a concern. Ground freezing is not a significant factor, which means the base layer depth is driven by the soil type and traffic load rather than frost heave. Soils mapped in the Moncks Corner area are commonly somewhat poorly drained. That suggests more base stone may be needed under the surface layer compared with well-drained sites nearby.
Ground around Moncks Corner is in dual hydrologic group C/D. Where the site is drained, the ground takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface. Where it is not drained, it takes water in very slowly, so most rain runs across the surface. Either way, drainage and a deeper base matter more here than elsewhere. Work can run most of the year in this climate, which makes scheduling the delivery the easy part.
The tonnage depends on the area and the depth you plan to place. A 4-inch compacted layer covers fewer square feet per ton than a 2-inch layer, so the right estimate is the one that matches your project dimensions. Use our material calculators to figure the volume before you order, then adjust for compaction and waste.

Crushed gravel often works as a base for other surface materials. These products complement it on a Moncks Corner site.
The tonnage depends on the area and depth of the project. Your chosen depth, project dimensions, and the material's density determine the total. A typical compacted base of 3/4" crushed gravel covers roughly 100 square feet at 4 inches deep per ton, but each job is different. Use our material calculators to get an estimate for your specific Moncks Corner project.
Yes. Gravel Monkey delivers crushed gravel to any address in Moncks Corner and the surrounding region. The delivery date must be at least 3 business days after the order date. You pick a morning or afternoon window at checkout, and we confirm the load with you before dispatch.
Crushed gravel is not a good choice for a finished walking surface if you want a clean, uniform look, because the fines can stain footwear and track inside. It is also not ideal for playgrounds or areas where children will play, because the angular edges can be rough. For a smooth, rounded surface, look for pea gravel or river rock instead.
The delivery price is calculated at checkout based on your ZIP code and the quantity you order. Factors include distance from the supplier and truck capacity for the load. The price is shown before you commit to the order.
