Gravel in Vidalia, GA

Prices in Vidalia commonly range from about $20 to $45 per ton for structural driveway gravel, with decorative gravels often costing $25 to $60 per ton depending on color and size. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum and many orders include free delivery, but small orders or next-day requests may carry a delivery or rush fee. Final price depends on gravel type, distance from local quarries, and whether you choose add-on services like tailgate spreading.

Local contractors in Vidalia most often use crushed stone (like #57) for driveways and base layers, bank run or 3/4" crushed for underlayment, and pea gravel or river rock for decorative beds. Preference depends on use: angular crushed stone locks together for driveways, while rounded pea gravel is chosen for patios and garden accents. Regional sourcing means color and texture will reflect local geology.

Hello Gravel connects you with local quarries and material yards serving Vidalia and nearby West Georgia towns. Minimum orders commonly start at 3 tons through Hello Gravel (some small suppliers may require 3-10 tons), and standard delivery lead time is 2+ business days, with a next-day option available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. If you need to change an order, contact customer service as soon as possible for best chances to adjust before dispatch.

Vidalia's clay-rich soils hold water and can cause potholes and rutting if drainage and base prep are poor, so contractors recommend an angular crushed base and proper drainage rather than relying on decorative rounded gravels alone. Hot, humid summers accelerate vegetation growth at edges, so edging and occasional maintenance help preserve a neat surface. Using a geotextile fabric and a compacted crushed base improves longevity in local conditions.

A common rule: 1 ton covers about 80 sq ft at 1" depth (so 40 sq ft at 2", 27 sq ft at 3", 20 sq ft at 4"). For a typical 1-car driveway (about 200 sq ft) plan on 6-8 tons at a 3" top layer or 8-12 tons including a compacted base; for a 2-car driveway (about 400 sq ft) plan 12-16 tons at 3" or more with a base. Farm or access roads subject to heavy traffic usually need 6" or more of compacted base plus a 2-3" wearing layer, which can be 25+ tons per 1000 sq ft depending on depth.

Local contractors typically excavate soft topsoil, install geotextile fabric on clayey sites, place 4-6" of angular crushed stone as a compacted base, and crown the driveway slightly for drainage. They compact each layer with a plate compactor or roller and use edging to prevent lateral spread. Proper drainage—ditches, culverts, or swales—is emphasized to avoid washouts during heavy summer rains.

Decorative gravels usually carry a premium in Vidalia, often $5 to $20 more per ton than standard structural materials because of color, washing, or specialty rock. Structural gravels (bank run, #57) focus on angular shape and cost less per ton. Final pricing depends on supplier availability and delivery distance from local quarries.

Yes. Demand usually rises in spring and summer as homeowners tackle landscaping and driveway repairs, which can tighten availability and bump prices. Heavy rain in late spring and summer can also slow deliveries and make site prep harder. Ordering ahead of peak seasons helps lock in material and delivery windows.

Permit requirements vary: many residential driveway resurfacing projects in Vidalia do not require a city permit, but local zoning rules, county regulations, or drainage ordinances can apply, especially for driveway widening or curb cuts. If you live in a neighborhood with an HOA, check its covenants before changing driveway material because some HOAs restrict gravel. When in doubt, contact Vidalia city planning or Telfair County and review HOA guidelines.

Routine maintenance in Vidalia usually involves regrading and filling low spots once a year or every 1-3 years, with light top-ups of 1-3 tons of gravel depending on driveway size and traffic. Professional regrading and compaction runs vary widely but budget for material plus labor—many homeowners spend a few hundred dollars for small driveways and $1,000+ for larger or heavily used driveways. Keeping drainage clear and addressing potholes promptly lowers long-term costs.

Drivers in Vidalia may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion; you can request it at checkout but the driver will assess safety and access upon arrival. Hello Gravel does not guarantee spreading services, and availability depends on truck type, site conditions, and local hauler policies. If you need precise spreading, consider hiring a local contractor after delivery.
