Weather and Soil Considerations for Driveway Gravel in Myrtle Beach

Myrtle Beach has about 76 wet days a year, meaning rain on roughly one in five days. That affects when you can schedule a delivery onto firm ground. It also means surface water management is part of the job.

About 38 days a year drop below 32F, but ground freezing here is not a significant factor. Snowfall averages about 1 inch annually, so plowing damage to a loose gravel surface is rare but possible. Without a hard freeze to lift the surface, drainage and washout are what decide how long the material lasts. The area's soils are commonly very poorly drained, which means you may need more base stone under the surface layer. Ground around Myrtle Beach is in dual hydrologic group B/D: where it is drained, water sinks in at a moderate rate; where it is not, most rain runs across the surface. That makes drainage and a deeper base more important here than in many other places.

Estimating How Much Driveway Gravel You Need

Gravel is sold by the ton, so you need to calculate the volume of your driveway in cubic feet and convert it. Our driveway gravel calculator does the math for you when you enter the length, width and desired depth. The result is an approximate tonnage that you can use to place your order.
