Gravel in hiltonia, GA

In Hiltonia and nearby West Georgia towns, expect delivered driveway-grade gravel to run about $30 to $60 per ton depending on type (crusher run, #57, pea gravel) and distance from the supplier. Decorative or specialty gravels can be $40 to $80 per ton. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order and many local deliveries include free or low-cost delivery; exact pricing appears at checkout based on your zip code.

For Hiltonia's hot, humid climate and clay-prone soils, crusher run or 'crusher run' (also called driveway mix) makes a good base because it compacts well. A top layer of #57 crushed stone or 3/4" crushed stone gives better drainage and traction. Avoid only-pea gravel on heavy clay without a proper compacted base and edging, because the clay will cause rutting and washouts.

Clay soils common in West Georgia hold water and can lead to pooling, rutting, and washboarding on gravel surfaces if drainage and base are inadequate. Heavy rainfall events in Hiltonia will move fines downhill unless you provide proper slope, swales, and edge restraints. Adding a compacted crushed-stone base and installing simple drainage features will greatly extend a gravel driveway's usable life.

Use this quick method: cubic yards = area (sq ft) * depth (in) / 324, then multiply cubic yards by ~1.3 to get tons. Examples: a 2-car driveway (about 12' x 40' = 480 sq ft) at 4" needs roughly 6 cu yd or about 8 tons; a 500 sq ft patio at 2" requires ~3 cu yd or about 4 tons. French-drain and trench needs vary by trench width and depth, but a typical 6"-12" gravel fill for a 100 ft trench is often 2 to 6 tons; check exact measurements before ordering.

Build a firm base: remove soft soil, add geotextile fabric over native clay, place 4"-6" of compacted crusher run as a base, then 2"-3" of wearing stone like #57. Compact each lift with a plate or roller and add edging (pavers, timber, or metal) to keep gravel contained. Add gentle cross-slope and drainage swales to prevent standing water after heavy West Georgia rains.

Most Hiltonia homeowners should regrade and add material every 1 to 3 years, with minor touch-ups after major storms. Typical annual top-up amounts are 0.25" to 0.5" of material, costing roughly $50 to $200 depending on driveway size and material type. More frequent maintenance is needed if drainage is poor or traffic is heavy.

Gravel has the lowest upfront cost but requires regular maintenance and top-ups; installed costs in West Georgia are often $1 to $3 per sq ft. Asphalt is midrange ($3 to $7 per sq ft) with 15-25 year life and periodic sealcoating, while concrete is highest ($6 to $12 per sq ft) with 25-40 year potential and lower routine upkeep. In Hiltonia's clay soils and rainy climate, all surfaces perform best with proper base and drainage, so long-term costs depend heavily on initial installation quality and maintenance.

For French drains use clean, washed 3/4" crushed stone or #57 stone and fill 6" to 12" around and above the perforated pipe, depending on flow needs. Swales and surface drainage areas do well with 3/4" to 1-1/2" stone placed 4" to 6" deep over a geotextile fabric. Avoid fines in drainage stone so water can move freely and not clog the system in Hiltonia's clay-rich soils.

Permit and HOA rules vary by property and local jurisdiction, so check with Telfair County planning (or your municipality if different) and your HOA before installation. Many rural residential lots in West Georgia do not require a permit for a gravel driveway, but setbacks, curb cuts, and stormwater rules could apply. When in doubt, contact your local planning office and review HOA guidelines before ordering materials.
