Gravel in Hiram, GA

Delivered gravel prices in Hiram usually range from about $35 to $70 per ton, depending on material (pea, crushed stone, limestone) and local availability. Many orders qualify for free delivery through Hello Gravel, but expect an additional charge if you request spreading; tailgate spreading (when offered) is commonly $15 to $40 per ton or a flat labor fee of about $100 to $250, and is performed at the driver's discretion. Minimum orders are generally 3 tons and delivery is by tri-axle dump truck, which can affect access charges for tight sites.

In West Georgia, crushed limestone (3/4" or #57) and crusher-run are the most popular driveway bases because they lock together and compact well. Pea gravel is common as a decorative topcoat, while larger angular stone or #3 stone is used for base layers; local quarries often produce limestone-based mixes, so color and texture may vary by supplier.

Use this quick formula: cubic yards = (area in ft^2 x depth in inches) / 324, then multiply cubic yards by about 1.3 to get tons (1 cubic yard ≈ 1.3 tons for gravel). For example, a 12' x 40' driveway at 3" depth is about 4.4 cubic yards ≈ 5.8 tons; remember Hello Gravel minimum order is 3 tons, so round up and allow extra for compaction and settling.

Hot, humid weather doesn't harm gravel, but heavy storms in Hiram can cause washouts, rutting, and migration if drainage and compaction are inadequate. Use angular crushed stone, proper base depth, good grading, and drainage features (ditches or French drains) to reduce washouts and improve long-term stability.

Hello Gravel works with local suppliers and contracted haulers that serve Hiram; minimum order sizes commonly start at 3 tons through our platform, though some suppliers or remote deliveries may require larger minimums. If you need help locating a specific quarry or confirming minimums in your zip code, contact Hello Gravel through the website or customer line for supplier details and a tailored quote.

Rules vary by neighborhood: many homeowners in Hiram must get HOA approval for surface changes and some municipal areas require a driveway permit for curb cuts or public right-of-way work. Before ordering, check with the City of Hiram building department and your HOA to confirm any setback, material, or curb-connection rules to avoid rework.

Contractor prices vary with site prep complexity; simple grading and compaction for a small driveway often runs $300 to $1,200, while full installs that include edging, base stone, and compaction commonly range from $1,200 to $5,000 for typical residential drives. Ask contractors for itemized quotes (grading, base stone, topcoat, compaction, edging) so you can compare to Hello Gravel material and delivery costs.

Routine maintenance in Hiram includes periodic raking or grading, topping up with fresh gravel every 2 to 7 years depending on traffic, and fixing low spots after heavy rains; keep edges trimmed and maintain drainage to prolong life. With proper drainage and occasional replenishment, a gravel driveway can last 10 to 25 years, though heavy truck use or poor drainage will shorten that lifespan.

Common issues are potholes, washouts after storms, and edge migration where gravel spreads into lawns or ditches. Contractors typically repair these by regrading low spots, adding and compacting fresh stone, installing edge restraints, and improving drainage or adding geotextile fabric to stabilize the subgrade.

Gravel is the most cost-effective upfront and offers excellent drainage, but it requires more frequent maintenance and can shift in heavy rain. Asphalt gives a smoother, longer-lasting surface with higher up-front cost (commonly $3 to $6 per sq ft) while pavers cost more ($10 to $25 per sq ft) but provide the most durability and curb appeal; choose gravel if budget and permeability matter, and asphalt or pavers if you want a low-maintenance, high-traffic surface.

Drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion and you can request it at checkout, but Hello Gravel does not guarantee spreading services because safety, site access, and truck type are factors. If spreading is critical, request it in your order notes and ask the driver on arrival, or hire a local contractor to ensure even placement and compaction.

Standard delivery is typically 2 or more business days from order, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. You can choose a preferred delivery date during checkout, and Hello Gravel will confirm scheduling and any site-access requirements with the assigned supplier.

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