Gravel in shiloh, GA

Delivered price in West Georgia generally ranges from about $30 to $60 per ton for common driveway gravels, with prices varying by material type and availability. Factors that change cost include the gravel type (pea gravel, crushed stone, #57), distance from the quarry to Shiloh, load size, and site access. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order, standard delivery in 2+ business days, and next-day delivery (before noon CST) for an extra fee, which can affect final delivered price.

For driveways on heavy clay we recommend a well-graded crushed stone mix (often called crushed gravel) with a compacted base layer of larger stone and a 1/4" to 3/4" surface mix like #57 or #8 for traction. Walkways do well with pea gravel or 3/8" crushed stone for a comfortable finish, while drainage trenches and French drains need washed 1/2" to 1" stone to prevent clogging. Because Shiloh soils hold water, choose angular, crushed material rather than rounded river rock to help locking and compaction.

Use cubic yards = (square feet x depth in feet) / 27 and expect about 1.2-1.4 tons per cubic yard depending on material. Typical estimates: 2-car driveway (20' x 20' = 400 sq ft) needs about 3.7 cy (≈4.8 tons) at 3" and 4.9 cy (≈6.4 tons) at 4". A 1-car driveway (12' x 20' = 240 sq ft) needs about 2.2 cy (≈2.9 tons) at 3" and 3.0 cy (≈3.9 tons) at 4". For 1,000 sq ft expect ≈9.3 cy (≈12.0 tons) at 3" and ≈12.4 cy (≈16.1 tons) at 4"; always add 5-10% extra for compaction and waste.

Hello Gravel typically offers standard delivery in 2+ business days with a 3-ton minimum; next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Rural deliveries around Shiloh may incur distance surcharges, gate or turnaround fees, or an extra charge if a tri-axle truck cannot get close to the drop point; these surcharges commonly run from a small flat fee up to $30-$150 depending on access and distance. Request delivery details at checkout and add order notes about access; the driver may also decline tight or unsafe drop locations.

Gravel drains well in heavy summer rain but can rut or wash if placed on uncompacted clay or on unprotected slopes. Expect light maintenance like regrading and adding 1" of top-up gravel every 1-3 years on driveways, and more frequent fix-ups after heavy storms or if water concentrates across the surface. Common fixes include regrading and compacting, adding a finer wearing layer, installing edging, or improving drainage with swales or French drains.

Install a properly compacted base: excavate poor topsoil, add 4" or more of larger crushed stone as a base and compact it before placing a smaller wearing course. Use geotextile fabric over wet or clay subgrades to reduce mixing of soil and stone, and install edging (stone, timber, or metal) to keep gravel from migrating, especially on slopes. For clay soils in West Georgia, consider deeper base layers and good drainage measures to prevent settling and washout.

Gravel has a lower upfront cost than asphalt or concrete but generally higher ongoing maintenance costs due to periodic topping, grading, and spot repairs. Asphalt and concrete cost more initially but typically require less frequent surface maintenance; however, poor drainage or clay subgrades in Shiloh can shorten their lifespan or cause cracking if not installed with proper base and drainage. For many homeowners in rural West Georgia, gravel is the most economical choice up front, while asphalt or concrete may be better long-term if you want lower yearly upkeep and can invest in proper site preparation.

In West Georgia you can buy from local quarries, county rock pits, and landscape supply yards in nearby towns; Hello Gravel can connect you with trusted local suppliers and haulers that service Shiloh. Suppliers sell either by the ton or by the cubic yard—if they quote cubic yards remember that gravel weighs roughly 1.2 to 1.4 tons per cubic yard depending on type, so confirm units when ordering. Check supplier availability, regional color/texture variations, and delivery options before finalizing your order.

Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, and you can request this service at checkout, but it is not guaranteed. Safety, truck access, and local rules determine whether a driver will spread material; plan on arranging your own spreading if you need a precise finish. If you want spreading help, note it in your order and be prepared to pay an extra fee if the driver offers the service.

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