Choose the Right Gravel for Your Project

Each project needs a specific product to solve a problem. The table below matches common projects with the right gravel or rock.

How Myrtle Beach Weather and Soil Affect Your Choice

Soils mapped in the Myrtle Beach area are commonly very poorly drained. The area gets about 56 inches of precipitation a year. That makes drainage and washout planning important for any gravel project. You may need more base stone under the surface layer.

About 76 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain. That means scheduling the delivery onto firm ground matters. The ground around Myrtle Beach is in dual hydrologic group B/D, so drainage depends on whether the site is drained. Where it is drained, water soaks in at a moderate rate; where it is not, most rain runs across the surface. This makes drainage and a deeper base more important here than elsewhere.

Myrtle Beach has about 38 days a year that drop below 32 degrees Fahrenheit. That affects the work window and how much the ground moves. Fortunately, work can run most of the year in this climate, which makes scheduling the delivery the easy part.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the length of the freeze season in Myrtle Beach change what I should order?

The freeze season in Myrtle Beach has about 38 days below freezing each year. That is enough to cause ground movement, so a compacted base layer is important. But the frost depth is not significant, so your base does not need to be as deep as in colder climates.

Is Myrtle Beach wet enough that drainage should drive the choice?

Yes. Myrtle Beach gets about 56 inches of precipitation a year. That makes drainage a key factor. Choose products like drain rock or a thicker base layer to handle the water.

What size gravel and rock should I choose?

The size depends on the use. For paths and patios, 3/8-inch pea gravel works well. For drainage, choose a clean rock like drain rock. For a base, crusher run or road base is best.

Is there a discount on a first order?

Yes. Use the code FIRSTTIMER50 to get $50 off your first order. This code applies to qualifying orders.
