Gravel in Midland, GA

Delivered gravel in the Midland area commonly runs between about $25 and $55 per ton, or roughly $35 to $75 per cubic yard, depending on the type (pea gravel vs crushed stone), distance from the quarry, and truck/delivery fees. Prices can be higher for specialty colors, small sizes, or if a small quantity is needed; Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum and shows local quotes for your zip code.

For driveways in Midland, crushed stone like 3/4" stone or #57 is a common top layer because it compacts well and sheds water. For drainage trenches and swales, washed rock (1/2" to 1") or river rock is better; pea gravel is decorative but moves more under traffic. Local materials may include limestone or river-run stone depending on West Georgia sources.

A typical recommendation is 3" to 4" of compacted top gravel for a light-use driveway, with a 4" to 6" crushed-stone base under that for better performance. Example estimates using 1.4 tons per cubic yard: a 1-car driveway (10' x 20') at 4" needs about 2.5 cubic yards or ~3.5 tons; a 2-car driveway (20' x 20') at 4" needs about 5 cubic yards or ~7 tons. Always add 10% for compaction and grading losses and check site-specific needs if soils are clay-heavy.

West Georgia's heat, humidity, and common clay soils cause poor drainage, rutting, and potholing after heavy rains because water pools instead of draining. Clay also binds under tires and can push gravel up, requiring more frequent regrading and fresh material. To reduce problems, use a well-compacted crushed-stone base, install proper drainage, and consider geotextile fabric to separate gravel from clay.

Local landscape yards and county quarries also sometimes post prices, but delivered cost varies with truck routing and load size.

On slopes and clay soils, start by excavating soft spots, create a stable subgrade, and install geotextile fabric to reduce mixing of clay and gravel. Build a thick, compacted base layer of crushed stone (4" to 6") and use retaining edges or terraces on steep slopes to hold material. Add drainage features like swales, pipe outlets, or check dams to control runoff during heavy Georgia rains.

With routine maintenance (regrading low spots, adding new gravel, and keeping drainage clear) a gravel driveway in Midland can function well for 5 to 15 years; lifespans vary with traffic and drainage. Expect to regrade after major storms and add a top dressing of fresh gravel every 2 to 4 years in our climate. Heavier use or poor drainage will increase maintenance frequency.

Gravel is typically the least expensive up-front option at roughly $1 to $3 per square foot installed, crushed stone (with proper base) is similar but can perform better because of angular particles that lock. Asphalt costs more up-front, roughly $3 to $8 per square foot, and gives a smoother, longer-lasting surface with less frequent maintenance. Gravel is cheaper and easier to repair locally, while asphalt is more durable but requires a contractor and higher initial cost.

Regulations vary: some cities, counties, or HOAs impose limits on material, curb cuts, driveway width, or require permits. For Midland, check the city planning or Carroll County building department and your HOA covenants before ordering material. If you need help, Hello Gravel can recommend typical local requirements but cannot confirm specific permit decisions.

Use a combination of slope grading toward swales, properly sized culverts at road crossings, and geotextile fabric under the gravel to limit mixing with native soil. Add check dams, riprap at concentrated flow points, and stabilized outlets where runoff leaves the driveway to prevent head-cutting. Regularly clear ditches and inlets after storms to maintain capacity, since West Georgia storms can produce heavy runoff.
