A standard tri-axle dump truck used in our network usually carries about 10 to 12 cubic yards (roughly 14 to 17 tons) of gravel. At local price ranges that translates to about $500 to $1,100 delivered, depending on the material, distance, and any extra services.

The cheapest common options are crush-and-run (crusher fines) and recycled asphalt millings (RAM), which are often 10% to 30% less expensive than new crushed stone. They compact well and save money up front, but recycled millings can soften in very warm weather and crush-and-run may need occasional topping with larger stone for better drainage.

For 1,000 sq ft: at 2 inches deep you need about 6.2 cubic yards (≈8.5 tons); at 4 inches deep about 12.3 cubic yards (≈17.5 tons). For a typical one-car driveway (about 10 ft x 20 ft = 200 sq ft) at 3 inches you need ~1.9 cubic yards (≈2.7 tons), and for a 20 ft x 40 ft two-car driveway at 3 inches you need ~7.4 cubic yards (≈10.5 tons). Using local price ranges, expect material costs from a few hundred dollars for small patches up to $600–$1,100 for larger residential jobs, not counting spreading or compaction.

Local suppliers and contracted haulers deliver to Homerville; standard delivery is usually 2+ business days, with a next-day option available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Tailgate spreading may be available at the driver's discretion and is not guaranteed; compaction is generally not included, so you may need a local contractor or compacting rental for a few hundred dollars depending on job size.

For West Georgia's soils, including clay pockets around Homerville, a compactable base of crush-and-run or 3/4u0022 minus followed by a 3/4u0022 crushed stone or #57 top layer is common. #57 (or 3/4u0022 crushed stone) gives good drainage and a stable surface, while fines or crusher-run beneath help lock the surface in place when compacted.

Laying gravel directly on clay is not recommended for long-term performance; we advise installing a geotextile fabric and a compacted base of crusher-run or similar material to prevent rutting and mixing. Good base prep and compaction are especially important in Homerville's seasonal wet periods to maintain drainage and stability.

#57 gravel refers to crushed stone about 1/2u0022 to 1u0022 in size, with angular pieces that interlock well for driveways and drainage. Compared with fines or crusher-run, #57 gives better drainage and a cleaner surface but does not compact as tightly, so many homeowners use #57 on top of a finer, compactable base.

Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons for delivery across our network, and standard delivery lead time is 2+ business days; next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee.

Crushed stone (angular rock) is typically the most durable and stable option, especially when used with a compacted base, but it is usually the most expensive. Natural rounded gravel looks nicer but shifts more and needs edging and periodic replenishing, while asphalt millings are often the most cost-effective, compact well, and can form a firm surface but may require maintenance in very hot or wet conditions. Choose based on budget, desired look, and how much maintenance you want to perform.
