Gravel in Blythe, GA

Prices vary by gravel type and supplier, but in West Georgia you can typically expect about $30 to $60 per ton. A standard tri-axle load is often 10 to 14 tons, so a delivered load can range widely depending on material and quantity. Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum and can give an exact, up-to-date quote for your Blythe zip code.

Per-ton prices in Georgia depend on the material (crushed stone, pea gravel, driveway mix) and local supply, commonly running about $30 to $60 per ton for basic crushed stone. Decorative or specialty gravels cost more. For a precise price for Blythe, get a local quote through Hello Gravel since regional sourcing affects cost.

A typical tri-axle dump truck carries roughly 10 to 14 cubic yards (about 12 to 16 tons depending on the material). Using the rule of thumb that 1 ton covers about 100 sq ft at 1 inch depth, a 12-ton load covers roughly 1,200 sq ft at 1 inch or about 400 sq ft at 3 inches. Actual coverage varies by gravel size, moisture, and compaction.

For a residential driveway in Blythe, 2 inches is generally too thin for long-term use. We recommend 3 to 4 inches of compacted gravel for passenger vehicles and 4 to 6 inches if you expect heavier loads or poor subsoil; a compacted base and good drainage help prevent rutting in West Georgia's clay soils. Ask our team for a recommendation based on your driveway width, soil, and intended use.

One ton of typical crushed gravel covers about 100 square feet at a 1-inch depth, about 50 square feet at 2 inches, and about 33 square feet at 3 inches. Coverage will change with the type of gravel, how compacted it is, and whether you are using it as a base or a topcoat. Use our material calculator or contact Hello Gravel for a precise estimate for your Blythe project.

Buying in bulk from local suppliers and choosing standard crushed or screened material will usually give you the best price per ton. Use Hello Gravel to compare local suppliers, schedule standard delivery (2+ business days) to avoid rush fees, and avoid small bagged purchases which are more expensive per ton. Also consider reusing on-site material or grading to reduce the quantity needed where appropriate.

A 100 ft driveway that is 10 ft wide and 3 inches deep requires about 9.3 cubic yards, or roughly 13 tons of gravel. At $30 to $60 per ton, material cost would be about $390 to $780; add delivery, any spreading fees, and taxes to get the final price. For a firm estimate tailored to your specific width, depth, and material choice in Blythe, request a quote through Hello Gravel.

Standard delivery is 2 or more business days from order; next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Deliveries are made by local contracted dump truck fleets (typically tri-axle) and Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum order. If you need tailgate spreading, request it at checkout and the driver will decide on-site if it can be done safely.
