Gravel in Lilburn, GA

Delivered gravel in Lilburn typically ranges based on material, quantity, and distance; a common ballpark is about $40 to $120 per ton delivered. Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum and shows transparent pricing for your zip code on checkout, and delivery usually takes 2+ business days (next-day available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee). Additional services like tailgate spreading or long driveway access may add fees.

For Lilburn's clay soils, crushed stone (for example 3/4" crushed stone or #57) or crusher-run (mixed sizes with fines) are best because they lock together and compact well for stability. Use a compacted crushed base for driveways and consider a 1–2" wearing layer of angular stone; pea gravel and river rock are decorative but tend to shift in clay and are less suitable as the primary driveway surface. Adding a geotextile fabric and good subgrade prep helps prevent rutting and washouts.

Measure the area in square feet, choose the depth in inches, then use: tons = area (ft2) x depth (in) x 0.004. For example, a 20 ft x 30 ft patio at 2" deep needs about 4.8 tons (20x30x2x0.004 = 4.8). As a rule of thumb, 1 cubic yard of gravel is roughly 1.2–1.5 tons depending on material, so round up and add 5–10% for waste and compaction.

With proper installation, drainage, and routine maintenance, a gravel driveway in West Georgia can last 10–20 years before major repairs are needed. The region's humidity and frequent rain increase washouts, potholes, and weed growth, so plan for periodic grading and adding fresh stone (often a thin top-up every few years). Good slope management, swales, and a solid compacted base greatly extend lifespan.

Crushed stone is usually the best choice for driveways because it compacts and provides traction. Pea gravel works well for walkways and decorative areas where a softer, rounded look is desired, but it moves under vehicle traffic. River rock is mainly decorative or for erosion control and generally not recommended as a standalone driveway surface in clay soils.

Professional installation that includes grading, base prep, compaction, and spreading commonly runs in the range of about $1.50 to $4.00 per square foot in this region, with wide variation based on access, slope, site prep, and required machinery. Materials are quoted separately, so factor in the per-ton cost for the stone plus hauling and any erosion-control features. Smaller or DIY jobs will reduce labor costs, but difficult access or severe slope increases pricing.

Gravel can be an effective drainage surface if installed with a proper sub-base, geotextile fabric, and drainage features like swales, terraces, or check dams on slopes. On steep, clay-rich slopes, heavier angular stone and erosion-control measures (retaining walls, turf reinforcement mats, or larger riprap at drainage outlets) may be necessary to prevent washouts. Consult local contractors or our team to size erosion controls for your specific slope and rainfall exposure.

Some Lilburn HOAs and neighborhood covenants do restrict exposed gravel, require specific materials or colors, or mandate permitted driveway designs, and city zoning can have its own requirements. Always check your HOA covenants and contact City of Lilburn planning or code enforcement before installing a new driveway to confirm any restrictions or permit needs. Hello Gravel recommends confirming rules up front to avoid costly rework.

Gravel has a lower upfront cost but higher ongoing maintenance: expect periodic grading, weed control, and adding fresh stone every few years, which can add routine costs over time. Asphalt and pavers cost more to install initially but typically require less frequent minor upkeep; however, repairs and sealing for asphalt or replacing pavers can be costly when needed. For Lilburn's rainy climate, factor in more frequent maintenance for gravel to address washouts and settling.
