Gravel in flovilla, GA

Typical delivered gravel prices in the Flovilla area range roughly from $25 to $60 per ton depending on type (pea, crushed stone, river rock) and distance from the quarry. A cubic yard of gravel is about 1.2 to 1.4 tons, so expect roughly $30 to $80 per cubic yard delivered. Prices vary by supplier, season, and whether you need spreading, so check your zip code or get a quote for an exact price.

For clay soils and frequent heavy rain in West Georgia, angular crushed stone (for example 3/4" crushed stone or #57) performs best because it locks together and drains more predictably. Avoid round river rock or pea gravel for driveways, as they tend to shift and wash out; a gravel-and-sand blend can be used for smoothing but should be topped with crushed stone for stability. Adding geotextile fabric and good edge restraint will further reduce washouts.

A 12 x 40 ft driveway at 4" depth is about 480 sq ft and equals roughly 5.9 cubic yards. Using a conversion of about 1.3 tons per cubic yard, you will need about 7.5 to 8 tons of 3/4" crushed stone. Order a little extra (10-15%) to allow for compaction, grading, and waste; Hello Gravel minimum order is 3 tons.

Local quarries and landscape suppliers in the greater West Georgia area commonly deliver to Flovilla, but specific vendors vary by zip code and availability. Typical minimum deliveries are often 3 tons for a small truck drop; full truckloads for tri-axle trucks commonly run 10 to 20 tons. Use Hello Gravel to check local supplier options and exact minimums for your address and material choice.

For Flovilla clay conditions, prepare a well-compacted subgrade, install geotextile fabric where drainage is poor, and set a drainage crown of about 1/4" per foot. A common build-up is 4 to 6 inches of compacted coarse base (larger crushed stone or crusher-run) plus a 2 to 3 inch wearing layer of 3/4" crushed stone. Proper edge restraints and attention to drainage (gutters, swales, pipes) are critical to prevent washouts.

In West Georgia's rainy climate you should expect to regrade or add gravel more often than in drier areas; many homeowners regrade annually and add 1 to 2 inches of fresh material every 2 to 4 years. Heavy storms, poor drainage, or heavier traffic will increase maintenance frequency. Good initial drainage and edge restraint will reduce how often you need to rework the surface.

Gravel has a much lower upfront cost, often $0.50 to $2.00 per sq ft installed (materials plus basic spreading), while asphalt typically runs $3 to $6 per sq ft and concrete $4 to $10 per sq ft. Lifespan with regular maintenance is shorter for gravel (5 to 15 years) versus asphalt (15 to 25 years) and concrete (25+ years), but gravel can be more cost-effective for long rural driveways where low initial cost and easy repairs matter. Include ongoing maintenance costs for gravel when comparing lifecycle expenses.

Permits and restrictions vary: Flovilla is small, but driveway permits, setback rules, or paving requirements may be enforced by Butts County or the city for certain projects. Homeowners with an HOA should review covenants before installing visible front-yard gravel, as some HOAs prohibit loose stone or require specific materials. Always check with Flovilla city hall, Butts County planning, and any HOA before ordering materials.

Angular decorative materials such as crushed granite or 3/4" crushed stone hold together better than round river rock or pea gravel and resist washing during storms. Any decorative gravel used on slopes or areas with runoff benefits greatly from solid edge restraints (timber, concrete, pavers, or metal edging) and a compacted base or geotextile. Even stable decorative stone can move without proper drainage and edging, so plan for both.

Labor and machine costs in the Flovilla area typically add about $1 to $5 per ton for basic spreading and grading, or roughly $0.50 to $2.00 per sq ft depending on driveway complexity and access. Small jobs with hand spreading cost more per ton, while contractors with equipment can be cheaper per ton but have minimums or travel fees. For an accurate local estimate, request quotes for material plus spreading from Hello Gravel or local contractors.
