Gravel in Newborn, GA

Prices vary by type and availability, but expect roughly $25 to $60 per ton delivered in West Georgia. Decorative gravels (pea gravel, colored stone) are at the higher end, while bulk crushed stone or screenings are at the lower end. Contact Hello Gravel for an exact quote for Newborn (minimum order 3 tons).

One ton typically covers about 80 to 120 square feet at 2 inches of depth, depending on the stone size and how tightly it compacts. For a 3-inch layer plan on roughly two-thirds that area per ton. Use Hello Gravel's material calculator or ask our team for a site-specific estimate.

Cost depends on truck size and tons per load; a common tri-axle dump carries about 10 to 14 tons. Multiply the price-per-ton by the truck's tonnage and add any delivery fee; for example, at $40/ton a 12-ton load would be about $480 in materials before fees. Hello Gravel can price full truckloads for delivery to Newborn and quotes include local hauling costs.

In West Georgia you’ll commonly find crushed stone (angular rock used for driveways and base), pea gravel (small rounded stones for paths and drainage), and river rock (larger rounded stones for decorative beds). Local quarries may also offer screenings or bank-run gravel, which are cheaper and good for base layers. Regional geology means color and texture can vary from nearby photos.

Screenings or bank-run gravel and standard crushed stone are usually the most budget-friendly options for a driveway base. They compact well and provide a stable surface at a lower cost than decorative gravels. If you need a finished look, you can top the base with a thin layer of pea gravel or crushed stone.

Costs depend on length, depth, and stone type; here is a quick example: a 20 ft by 50 ft driveway at 4 inches deep is about 1,000 sq ft and needs roughly 12 to 14 cubic yards (about 16 to 20 tons). At $35/ton that equals roughly $560 to $700 for materials, plus delivery and optional spreading fees. Get an exact quote from Hello Gravel with your driveway dimensions and preferred stone type.

No, 2 inches is generally too thin for a driveway, especially on Georgia's clay soils which can rut when wet. We recommend a compacted base of 4 inches of crushed stone over a prepared subgrade for light vehicles and 6 inches or more for heavy use. Adding a geotextile fabric under the base can improve drainage and longevity.

You can, but it’s not ideal. For lasting performance on local soils, prepare the area by removing vegetation, grading, compacting the subgrade, and adding a base layer (crushed stone) over geotextile fabric to prevent mixing with soil. This reduces sinking and maintenance on Newborn's sometimes clay-rich ground.

Gravel provides better load-bearing and drainage than sand because the angular pieces lock together and water passes through more easily. Sand compacts but can shift under heavy loads and does not drain as well on its own. For driveways use a crushed stone base with a top gravel layer rather than sand alone.

People often use 'GA stone' to refer to locally sourced crushed stone used around Georgia for driveways and construction. In West Georgia that may be granite, gneiss, or limestone-based material depending on local quarries, so color and texture will vary. Expect regional variation and ask Hello Gravel if you have a color or texture preference.

Do build adequate base and drainage, compact each layer, and consider geotextile fabric on clay soils. Don't skip grading or assume a thin layer is enough; heavy rain and freeze-thaw cycles in Georgia can cause rutting without proper prep. Schedule materials in drier months if possible and ask Hello Gravel about delivery timing for your project.

Quarries and pit operations in rural West Georgia often offer lower prices than big retail yards because of local hauling and bulk availability.
