Materials for Folkston Projects

Most calls here are landscaping calls, not road calls. In Folkston, sandy ground drains fast, so beds and paths need material that stays put instead of sinking. Here is what to order for each job.

For decorative beds and borders, start with River Rock or Large River Rock. Local crews also ask for river slicks, the smooth stones used to line flower beds. For a dry creek bed that carries runoff, use the large size and set it over a bed of #89 Crushed Stone so water moves instead of pooling.

For walkways and paths, order 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel or Walkway Gravel. Natural Pea Gravel is easy underfoot and works around play areas. Under a patio or paver path, Screenings give you a level bedding layer that locks the pavers in place.

For ground cover and planting, Shredded Mulch holds moisture through hot Coastal Plain summers, and Top Soil or Garden Soil rebuilds a bed over sand. If the area gets heavy foot traffic, cap it with a compacted base first.

Ground and Conditions in Folkston

Charlton County sits in the South Georgia Coastal Plain, and the ground shows it. You are working over loamy sand and sand topsoil on top of sandy clay subsoil. Water soaks in fast on the uplands, which is good news for a bed. It is not good news for a base that was never compacted, because sand shifts and the surface above it follows.

The other half of the story is where water goes. Clay subsoil, flat ground and a high water table leave low spots, ditches and flatwoods standing wet. Where limestone lies near the surface, sinkholes can open. So build the drainage layer before the decorative layer. A run of Drain Rock or #57 Granite in a low corner keeps the beds above it dry.

Heavy downpours also wash sand off bare slopes, field edges and ditch banks. Mulch and ground cover hold that sand in place. Frost is not what sets base depth here; the Georgia residential code sets a 12 inch minimum footing depth. Plan around wet ground and summer storms instead, and expect a long wet spell to leave low ground too soft for loaded trucks.

Delivery to Folkston and the Surrounding Area

Ordering is simple. Pick your material, choose a quantity by the ton or by the cubic yard, and tell us where to put it. The site calculator converts your bed, path or driveway dimensions into a number you can order with confidence. Measuring first is the difference between one load and two.

We deliver bulk loads across Folkston and Charlton County, including St. George. A truck needs firm, dry ground and a clear path to the drop point. On soft low ground after a wet spell, pick a spot near the road and move material from there. Bulk loads are dumped, so plan the pile before the truck arrives.

Questions Folkston Buyers Ask

How much material will my project need?

Measure the length and width of the area, then decide how deep you want the material. Multiply the three numbers to get cubic feet, then divide by 27 for cubic yards. For decorative rock you can also order by the ton. Use the calculator on the product page and it does the math for you. Round up, since a short load costs another delivery.

Can I order material by the ton for delivery in Folkston?

Yes. Most stone, sand, soil and gravel on this site can be ordered by the ton, and delivery covers Folkston and the rest of Charlton County. If you would rather work in cubic yards, order that way instead. Give us a clear drop point when you check out, and we will bring the load to your site.
