Gravel in Acworth, GA

Delivered gravel costs in Acworth vary by material, quantity, and supplier, but expect roughly $30 to $70 per ton delivered for common gravels.

For Acworth's clay soils and heavy rain, a layered approach works best: a compacted base of crushed stone (crusher-run or #57 stone mixed with fines) for stability, topped with 3/4" crushed stone or crushed limestone for traction. Avoid loose round pea gravel on main driveways because it migrates on slopes and in wet conditions; use edging and proper drainage to keep material in place.

A 12x40 ft driveway is 480 sq ft. At 2" depth you need about 2.96 cubic yards (~4.2 tons), at 3" about 4.44 cubic yards (~6.2 tons), and at 4" about 5.93 cubic yards (~8.3 tons) using a rough conversion of 1.4 tons per cubic yard. For a driveway base you may want 4" to 6" of base material plus a 2" top layer, which increases quantities accordingly.

Permit requirements vary: many residential gravel driveways in Acworth do not require a building permit, but work in the public right-of-way, new curb cuts, changes to stormwater flow, or driveways that alter drainage may trigger review or permits. Check with the City of Acworth planning or Cobb County building department before work begins and confirm culvert or drainage specs if connecting to a public road.

Acworth's hot, humid summers and frequent heavy rain can cause washouts, rutting, and vegetation growth in gravel over time. Expect to regrade, add fresh material, and recompact high-traffic areas every 1-3 years depending on use; good drainage, edging, and an adequately compacted base reduce maintenance needs.

Gravel is typically the cheapest upfront option, often costing a fraction of asphalt or concrete, but it requires ongoing maintenance like replenishing and grading. Asphalt and concrete have higher initial costs (asphalt roughly $3 to $6 per sq ft installed, concrete $6 to $12 per sq ft) but lower regular maintenance; choose gravel when budget and drainage flexibility matter, and paving when you want lower long-term upkeep and a smoother surface.

Best practices include excavating weak soil, installing a geotextile fabric, building a 4" to 6" compacted base of angular crushed stone, crowning the center for runoff, and adding edge restraints and culverts where needed. Costs vary with site conditions; material and delivery for base layers are often the largest component, and labor/equipment for excavation and compaction can add several hundred to a few thousand dollars depending on driveway length and slope.

Hello Gravel can help connect you with local contractors and haulers in the Acworth area through our platform, but we don't directly employ installation crews. Labor rates vary by contractor and project complexity; expect skilled equipment operators and crews to bill either hourly (often $40 to $90 per hour depending on equipment) or by project price—get multiple quotes and check reviews before hiring.

For slope erosion control in Acworth, use larger angular rock such as 1" to 2" crushed stone for surface stabilizing, or riprap (3" to 6" rock) for concentrated flow areas; pair stone with geotextile fabric, terracing, or check dams for best results. Material delivery prices vary by size and distance; expect higher costs for larger rock and installation since machinery and labor are required—contact Hello Gravel to get local material and installation estimates for your slope.

We cannot get out of the truck and manually spread it. However, depending on the location, safety, and comfortability of the driver – we may be able to tailgate spread your material. This involves pulling the truck forward as material is being dumped to make it easier for you to distribute material after delivery.

The minimum order size is 3 tons.
