Surry County, VA Gravel and Landscape Rock Delivery
Order gravel, stone and aggregate delivery in Surry County, VA online. Virginia Rock Supply delivers bulk material by the ton or by the yard, straight to your drive. Start with 21A.
Ground across the county is old sea and river sediment: sand, silt and clay on flat, low land. Sandy spots drain fast. Clayey low ground holds water. Pick the material for the ground you have.
Materials Delivered in Surry County
Start with 21A. The fines in it pack tight and hard. Order it for driveways, parking pads, and shed or patio bases.
21B is the same family, coarser with fewer fines. It drains a little better and packs less tightly. Use it under drives and pads where you want that trade.
#57 stone runs about 3/4 inch and handles drainage, French drains, driveway topping and concrete aggregate. #8 stone is the fine grade for pipe bedding, paver joints and porous backfill behind walls.
Ground Conditions Across Surry County
A thin base shows itself fast here. The material shifts, ruts form, and potholes open where tires run. That happens because the ground under it is soft, not because the stone is wrong.
Ground across the county is layered sand, silt and clay laid down as old sea and river sediment, not weathered rock. It sits flat and low. Sandy spots drain quickly. Clayey, marshy and swampy low ground stays wet.
Flat, low ground gives water nowhere to run. Heavy rain from tropical storms, nor'easters and summer thunderstorms ponds on drives and pads. Near the Bay, the ocean and tidal rivers, high tides and storm tides add standing water on top of that.
Low ground around Surry and Dendron needs a deeper base and a way to drain. Cut out the soft material, build the base thicker than you would on high ground, and add a washed stone drainage layer so water has a path out. Use #57 stone or #8 stone for that layer.
Erosion is the other problem. Waves, storm tides and rising water wear away shorelines where land meets the Chesapeake Bay, the ocean and tidal rivers and creeks. Runoff carries loose sandy soil off bare ground and ditch banks. RipRap armors those slopes and culvert outlets.
Hard freezes are short, so work runs through most of the winter. Long wet spells and the late-summer to fall tropical storm season hold jobs up, especially on low lots that hold water. Freeze-thaw is lighter here than inland and in the mountains, but cold snaps still freeze wet ground.

Order online. Pick your material, then pick tons or yards. Both work, and the choice comes down to how you measured the job.
Order by the ton when you know the weight you need or you are matching a spec. Order by the yard when you figured volume: length times width times depth. A yard of most stone runs heavier than a yard of topsoil, so the two do not convert evenly.
Estimate quantity before you order. Measure the area, decide the depth, and convert. A driveway base usually needs a solid compacted layer, and wet ground here often wants more.
Bulk delivery drops the load where the truck can reach. Tell us where you want it when you order, and keep the path clear. We deliver across the county, including Dendron, Surry, Elberon and Spring Grove.
Choosing the Right Material
Ground next door is close to what you have in Surry County. Prince George County sits in Central Virginia and Sussex County in Southside, and both share the same Tidewater and Coastal Plain zone: sand, silt and clay on flat, low ground, with sandy spots that drain and clayey low ground that stays wet.
Newport News is in Hampton Roads and shares that zone too. So the ground is similar across all three. What shifts is the project, not the soil.
On a residential drive, that means 21A for the base and #57 stone for drainage where water ponds. On a commercial pad, it means more depth and a heavier drainage layer. On shoreline or ditch work, it means RipRap. Match the material to the job in front of you, then build the base for the wet spots.
