    The driver nailed it on putting the gravel I ordered in front of my trailer and between the sidewalk. Very satisfied with how my flowerbeds look now.

    Two to three inches is right for decorative beds and walkways, while driveways and French drain trenches need four to six inches or a full trench fill.

    Measure length and width in feet, then choose your depth. Use two to three inches for decorative beds and paths, and four to six inches for driveways or drainage trenches. Because stone does not compress like mulch, order close to your calculated figure and add about five percent for spread and low spots.

    Add geotextile fabric underneath so stone does not vanish into sandy loam, and use steel or paver edging to hold clean lines through heavy Lowcountry rain. Crusher run makes a solid compacted base under any decorative surface stone.

    Mulch Mound Pro Tip

    Always separate stone from Mount Pleasant sand with woven geotextile fabric. Sandy loam pumps upward under traffic and rainfall, and within two seasons an unlined gravel bed becomes a sand bed with rocks in it. Fabric costs very little compared to reordering stone. Overlap the seams by at least twelve inches and run it a few inches past the edging.

    Mulch Mound Pro Tip

    Design gravel around downspouts, not just under them. With 51 inches of rain a year, a single downspout can dump hundreds of gallons in an afternoon. A splash pad of river rock over fabric absorbs the impact, prevents a crater in your sandy soil, and spreads the flow. Extend the stone at least three feet out and slope it away from the foundation.

    Mulch Mound Pro Tip

    Match stone size to slope. On the gentle grades typical in East Cooper yards, small rounded pea gravel travels during a downpour and ends up in the lawn or the street. Use angular stone in the three quarter inch to one and a half inch range on anything with fall to it, since the rough faces lock together and stay where you put them.

    The Unique Landscape of Mount Pleasant

    Stone earns its keep in Mount Pleasant because water is the constant variable, whether it comes from a 51 inch rainfall year, a summer thunderstorm, or a king tide backing up into low lying yards. Gravel drives, drainage beds, and French drain backfill move water off sandy loam before it stalls, and unlike mulch, stone does not decompose in our heat or float away when a bed floods. It also stands up to salt air and humidity that shorten the life of most organic materials near the Intracoastal and the marsh. For homeowners tired of remulching twice a year, decorative gravel in side yards, around downspouts, and along foundation drip lines is a genuinely low maintenance answer. At 13 feet of elevation, giving water a designed path matters more here than almost anywhere inland.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Click a question to see the answer

    Answer

    What stone works best for drainage in a soggy Mount Pleasant yard?

    Washed number 57 stone is the standard for French drains and dry wells because it is clean, angular, and holds roughly 30 to 40 percent void space for water. Wrap the trench in filter fabric so our fine sandy loam does not migrate in and clog it over time. In yards near the marsh, make sure the drain has a real outlet, because at 13 feet of elevation water will not simply disappear downward.

    Answer

    Will stone beds get too hot around my plants in the summer?

    They can. Light colored gravel reflects a lot of heat during a Mount Pleasant July, which is tough on hydrangeas, azaleas, and anything with shallow roots. Stone is best in beds with heat tolerant plantings like yucca, muhly grass, dwarf yaupon, or palmetto, or in areas with no plants at all such as drip lines, side yards, and utility zones.

    Answer

    Does gravel hold up better than mulch in our climate?

    By a wide margin. Organic mulch in Mount Pleasant can break down in a single humid season and washes out during heavy storms. Stone does not decompose, does not fade, and stays put in wind and rain. The tradeoff is that it does not feed the soil, so anywhere you need soil improvement, mulch is still the better tool.

    Answer

    How do I keep gravel from sinking into my sandy soil?

    This is the most common failure we see here. Sandy loam offers little resistance, so stone laid straight on bare ground disappears within a couple of years. Install a heavy woven geotextile fabric underneath, and for drives or paths compact a crusher run base three to four inches deep before the finish stone goes down.

    Answer

    What should I use for a gravel driveway that handles our rain?

    Crusher run compacted four to six inches deep makes the base, topped with an inch or two of number 57 or a decorative stone. Crown the surface slightly so water sheds to the sides instead of pooling, which matters with 51 inches falling here annually and much of it in short intense bursts. Plan on a light regrade and topdress every two to three years.

    Answer

    Is stone a good choice near the water for salt spray areas?

    Yes. Salt air degrades organic mulch and stains wood, but stone is unaffected. Homes near Sullivan's Island, the Intracoastal, and the marsh front do well using gravel beds along foundations and walkways. Just rinse decorative stone occasionally with fresh water to clear salt film and keep the color looking sharp.

    Answer

    How much stone will I need and how heavy is a yard of it?

    A cubic yard of gravel weighs roughly 2,500 to 3,000 pounds, considerably more than mulch, so plan your wheelbarrow route accordingly. One yard covers about 160 square feet at two inches deep or 108 square feet at three inches. Our calculator will size it for you once you enter the area and depth.
