Gravel in Monroe, GA

Local gravel prices in Monroe typically vary by type and supplier; expect delivered per-ton prices for common materials like crusher run, #57, and pea gravel to fall roughly in the range of $25 to $60 per ton depending on material, quantity, and delivery distance. Minimum orders often start at 3 tons through Hello Gravel, and delivery fees or next-day charges may apply.

For Monroe’s clay soils and summer rains, crushed stone mixes such as crusher run or 3/4" minus are best because they compact into a stable base and resist washout. #57 stone is a good top layer for drainage when paired with a compacted crusher-run base, while pea gravel is attractive but tends to migrate and rut on clay unless stabilized. Consider a geotextile fabric and good edge restraints for any gravel driveway in West Georgia to limit mixing with clay and reduce washboarding.

Typical estimates use 1.4 tons per cubic yard (varying by stone type). A 1-car driveway (about 10'x20') at 3-4" depth usually needs about 3 to 4 tons, a 2-car driveway (20'x20') about 6 to 8 tons, a 12'x40' driveway at 3-4" about 6 to 9 tons, and a 1,000 sq ft patio at 2" to 3" depth about 9 to 13 tons. These are rules-of-thumb for Monroe projects; measure your area and allow 5-10% extra for compaction and waste.

Monroe city code and Walton County regulations do not universally ban gravel driveways, but local rules and private HOA covenants can impose requirements on driveway materials and appearance. Because rules vary by subdivision and HOA, check your HOA guidelines and call Monroe city planning or Walton County permitting before ordering. If you have an HOA, get written approval first to avoid removal or replacement orders.

Hello Gravel connects you with trusted local suppliers and haulers in the Monroe/West Georgia area that handle bulk delivery (minimums often 3 tons). For installation, many local landscapers and gravel contractors provide base preparation, compaction, and edging for a separate fee; Hello Gravel can provide supplier contact info and estimates. Ask suppliers about delivery truck type, unloading location, and any additional installation services or minimum fees.

Heavy summer rainfall on Monroe's clay soils increases risk of rutting, washouts, and material migration if drainage and base are inadequate, while occasional freezing can worsen frost heave in poorly drained spots. To reduce problems, build a compacted base of crusher run, install a slight crown for runoff, add perimeter drainage or French drains where needed, and use geotextile fabric on saturated subgrades. Regular maintenance after heavy storms—raking, filling ruts, and adding fresh stone—helps prolong performance.

In Monroe, basic delivery-only gravel costs are lower, but full installation with base prep, compaction, edging, and grading commonly ranges from about $2 to $6 per square foot depending on scope and site conditions. Small driveways often run from several hundred to a few thousand dollars for professional installation, while larger jobs increase with excavation or drainage work. Ask local contractors for itemized estimates and include site access, truck unloading, and any permit costs when budgeting.

Lifespan varies: crusher run or compacted mixed stone can perform 10+ years before significant refresh on a low-traffic residential driveway, while pea gravel and loose round stone may need topping up every 2 to 5 years because it migrates and compacts faster. Routine maintenance includes yearly raking and filling low spots, replenishing 1/2" to 1" of material every few years, and addressing drainage or vegetation issues promptly. Local climate and traffic levels in Monroe are the main factors that determine actual maintenance intervals.

For slopes, use a compactable mix such as crusher run or a 3/4" minus base topped with angular stone and install geotextile fabric to separate the stone from clay subgrade. Add edge restraints, check dams or terraces, and consider modular gravel grids (cellular confinement) where steeper slopes need extra stabilization. Also plan for surface drainage, such as swales or French drains, to divert runoff away from the gravel surface and reduce erosion during West Georgia storms.

Gravel typically has the lowest initial cost but higher ongoing maintenance; expect lower first-install costs per square foot but periodic topping and grading every few years. Asphalt is mid-range initially and usually needs sealcoating and patching every 3-10 years, lasting 15-20 years with maintenance; concrete costs more up-front but can last 25+ years with low routine maintenance; pavers have higher installation costs but are durable and easy to repair. Consider your budget, desired look, and willingness to perform maintenance when choosing the best option for a Monroe driveway.
