Gravel in drybranch, GA

Delivered prices in Drybranch vary by material, but expect rough ranges: pea gravel $40–$80 per ton, #57 crushed stone $30–$60 per ton, crusher run $25–$50 per ton, and 3/4" crushed stone $28–$60 per ton. A good rule of thumb is about 1.2–1.3 tons per cubic yard for common crushed gravel when converting.

Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order. In many West Georgia areas, delivery is free for typical minimum orders, but remote locations, small orders, or difficult access can incur delivery fees (commonly $50–$200). Standard delivery is 2+ business days, with next-day options available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee.

For red clay and rolling terrain around Drybranch, a layered approach works best: a compacted base of crusher run (or 3/4" minus) topped with #57 or 3/4" crushed stone for a wearing surface. Crusher run locks together and resists rutting in clay, while angular #57 promotes surface drainage. Consider geotextile fabric beneath the base and a 4–6" total depth for rural lanes to reduce mixing with clay.

A 12x40 ft driveway is 480 sq ft. At 3" depth you need about 4.4 cubic yards (≈5.7 tons), at 4" about 5.9 cubic yards (≈7.7 tons), and at 6" about 8.9 cubic yards (≈11.6 tons), using ~1.3 tons per cubic yard. Round up for compaction/settling and remember our 3-ton minimum when ordering.

Yes—properly chosen gravel can help drainage and reduce erosion on slopes common around Drybranch. Use larger, washed angular stone (like #57) in flow paths and crusher run for stabilizing slopes, and combine with terraces, check dams, or geotextile fabric for longer slopes. For severe erosion or concentrated flows, consider riprap, engineered retaining, or consult a local civil/landscape pro.

In Drybranch’s humid climate expect to grade and re-distribute material every 1–3 years and add a 1–3" refresh of gravel every few years depending on traffic. Rain and freeze/thaw cycles can cause potholes and washboarding; regularly clean drainage swales, keep vegetation trimmed, and recompact high-traffic spots. With routine upkeep a gravel driveway can last many years, but it requires periodic attention compared with paved options.

Gravel has the lowest upfront cost and is the easiest to repair, but it requires more regular maintenance. Asphalt offers a smoother, more durable surface with higher initial cost and periodic resealing; concrete costs the most up-front and is the most durable long-term but repairs are more expensive. For rural Drybranch properties with lower traffic, gravel is often the most practical financially and for drainage, while asphalt or concrete make sense for higher-traffic driveways or where a low-maintenance surface is preferred.

Possibly. Local county offices and HOAs set driveway, setback, and erosion-control rules—some require culverts, driveway permits, or approval for material type, especially where a driveway ties into a state route (GDOT may require a permit). Before installing, check with your county building or public works department and your HOA to confirm requirements and avoid costly rework.

Ensure truck access of at least 12–14 feet wide and clear overhead (power lines), and stable ground for a tri-axle dump truck to avoid getting stuck on soft clay. Mark the desired drop area and include any special instructions in Order Notes; if access is tight, let our team know so we coordinate the right-sized truck. You can request tailgate spreading at checkout, but drivers perform spreading at their discretion and safety assessment.

For a 100 ft by 12 ft lane (1,200 sq ft): at 4" depth you need about 14.8 cubic yards (≈19–20 tons) and at 6" about 22.2 cubic yards (≈29 tons), using ~1.3 tons per cubic yard. For rural lanes we recommend 4–6" compacted depth with a crusher-run base and a wearing surface; always round up for compaction and to account for washouts.

As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.
