Gravel in Alto, GA

Prices vary by type and local quarry, but typical ranges for Alto/West Georgia are: crusher run $15-35 per ton (about $20-45 per cubic yard), #57 crushed stone $25-45 per ton (about $35-60 per cubic yard), and pea gravel $30-60 per ton (about $40-70 per cubic yard). Regional sourcing, seasonal demand, and delivery distance affect final price, so use these as rough guides and check Hello Gravel for zip-code-specific quotes.

Hello Gravel’s minimum order is 3 tons, and deliveries are typically made by tri-axle dump trucks. Many areas in West Georgia have free or low-cost delivery for nearby suppliers, but remote drops or tight access can add a delivery fee (commonly $0–$150+ depending on distance and site conditions). Tailgate spreading may be requested at checkout but is performed at the driver’s discretion.

Local quarries and suppliers around Alto commonly offer crusher run (dense graded base), #57 crushed stone, pea gravel, river rock, 3/4" stone, screenings, and decomposed granite. AvaIlability reflects local geology, so color and texture will vary; check product details and add color preferences in Order Notes if you have aesthetic requirements.

Alto and Banks County have clay-rich soils that hold water and can rut under traffic, so good drainage and a solid base are essential. On clay or sloped sites, contractors recommend installing a compacted crusher-run base, using geotextile fabric where needed, and providing positive drainage away from the driveway to reduce wAshouts. Surface stone alone is often insufficient on poor soils—add extra depth and pRoper compaction to avoid long-term problems.

For typical West Georgia conditions, a contractor-recommended build is: 1-car driveway — 4–6 inches compacted crusher-run base plus 2–3 inches of surface stone; 2-car driveway — 6–8 inches compacted base plus 2–3 inches of surface stone. On very soft or clay-heavy sites add an extra 1–2 inches of base and consider geotextile fabric to stabilize the subgrade.

In Alto’s hot summers and periods of heavy rain, expect to regrade low spots and redistribute material about once every 1–2 years, and add a top-dressing of fresh stone every 2–4 years depending on traffic. Driveways with poor drainage or steep runoff zones may need more frequent attention; good initial grading and drainage lowers maintenance frequency.

Rules vary by pRoperty: Banks County itself typically does not ban gravel driveways, but specific zoning, floodplain, or stormwater rules could apply. Many private HOA covenants in the Alto area do have restrictions on visible loose gravel for front yards or require certain materials and colors, so check your county permitting office and any HOA guidelines before ordering.

Gravel has a lower initial cost than asphalt and concrete but requires more regular maintenance like regrading and topping. Gravel provides excellent drainage and reduces runoff compared with impervious asphalt or concrete, but it can wAsh out in heavy storms without good edge controls and drainage. Asphalt and concrete have higher upfront costs and longer lifespans with less frequent upkeep, while pavers are more expensive but offer a more finished look and easier localized repairs.
