Gravel in Sunnyside, GA

Prices vary by material and local supply, but expect rough delivered ranges in Sunnyside: crushed stone $25 to $45 per ton, pea gravel $35 to $65 per ton, and decorative river rock $45 to $90 per ton. Hello Gravel shows exact, up-to-date pricing for your zip code at checkout; note that minimum orders and truck access can affect per-ton delivered price.

For Sunnyside’s clay soils and humid heat, angular crushed stone (3/4" crushed or "57" stone) is typically best because the edges lock together and resist rutting more than rounded stones like pea gravel. Combine that stone with a compacted base, geotextile fabric, and a crowned slope for drainage to reduce washout in heavy summer rains.

Hello Gravel connects you with local quarries and haulers that serve Sunnyside; delivery is usually by tri-axle dump truck and Hello Gravel’s platform lists available suppliers for your zip code. Typical minimums are 3 tons, many areas include free delivery for nearby loads, and fees increase with distance or if access is difficult; exact fees appear at checkout.

For a 12x30 driveway (360 ft²), a 3" surface requires about 4.7 tons of gravel and a 4" surface requires about 6.3 tons, depending on stone density. If you plan a compacted base plus a wearing layer, budget the higher amount and allow 5-10% extra for settling and grading.

A 20x20 patio (400 ft²) at 2" depth uses about 3.5 tons of gravel, while a 3" depth is roughly 5.2 tons, using a common conversion of 1 cubic yard ≈ 1.4 tons. If you include a compacted base or paver sand layer, add material accordingly and round up for waste.

Sunnyside permit rules vary by city and county and many HOAs have design rules that affect driveway materials and curb appeal; some HOAs restrict loose gravel or require edging. Before ordering, check Sunnyside zoning or building department and your HOA covenants; Hello Gravel can help with project details but cannot obtain permits for you.

Heavy summer rains can cause washouts and rutting, so choose angular crushed stone and build a firm, crowned subbase with proper drainage swales or French drains where needed. Occasional freezes can aggravate poorly drained areas, so prioritize compaction and drainage rather than relying on surface material alone.

A well-built gravel driveway in West Georgia typically needs minor upkeep yearly—raking, filling potholes, and adding 1 to 2 tons of gravel every 1–3 years—and a larger top-up (several tons) every 3–5 years depending on traffic and runoff. Lifespan depends on construction quality and maintenance; expect good performance for many years if you control drainage and replenish surface material as needed.

Yes. Demand rises in spring and summer, which can push prices higher and limit delivery windows; quarry maintenance, heavy rains, or hurricane season can also affect local supply. For lower pricing and easier scheduling in Sunnyside, consider ordering in late fall or winter when demand is typically softer, but always check current quotes on Hello Gravel.

Upfront cost: gravel is usually the least expensive, asphalt midrange, and concrete the most expensive per square foot. Long-term, gravel requires more frequent topping and grading, asphalt needs periodic sealing every few years, and concrete has the longest service life but higher repair costs; choose based on budget, maintenance willingness, and desired look for your Sunnyside home.

On slopes, use sturdy edging and erosion controls such as stone or concrete curbing, metal landscape edging anchored with rebar, or small retaining walls and gabion baskets to hold gravel in place. Add geotextile fabric under the gravel, install terraces or check-dams for long slopes, and place drainage swales to reduce runoff and prevent washouts during heavy West Georgia rains.
