For a simple top layer on an existing driveway, plan on 3 inches of compacted gravel; a 12 ft by 50 ft driveway at 3 inches needs about 5.6 cubic yards, roughly 7.5 to 9 tons depending on material density. If you are building a new driveway, add a 4-6 inch crushed stone base under the topcoat, which will roughly double or triple the quantity needed. Use our material calculator or contact our team with measurements for a tailored estimate.

Crushed stone 3/4u0022 to 1u0022 (often called 57 stone) is a common choice for driveways because it compacts well and sheds water. Pea gravel provides a smoother walking surface but can shift under vehicle traffic, so it is better for walkways or decorative areas. In National Hills where clay soils and heavy summer rains are common, use a compacted crushed stone base under top layers to improve drainage and durability.

Yes—properly built gravel trails in National Hills can provide excellent surfaces for recreational and gravel cycling, but the right mix matters. A compacted crushed stone base with a 1 to 2 inch top layer of angular gravel gives good traction and stability, while loose pea gravel or large river rock is harder to ride on. Plan for drainage and regular maintenance after heavy Georgia rains to keep trails rideable.

As a rule of thumb, a 1-mile trail 12 ft wide at 3 inches depth is about 587 cubic yards, which is roughly 820 tons using a typical crushed stone density. At that rate, a 20-mile trail of the same width and depth would need about 16,400 tons of material. These are rough estimates—final quantities depend on width, depth, compaction, and local stone density, so contact our team for a detailed takeoff.

Properly installed gravel with a compacted crushed stone base does a good job reducing mud on clay soils common around National Hills. The key is a well-prepared subgrade, a permeable base layer, and adequate depth so water drains rather than saturates the surface. If drainage is a problem on your site, consider grading, drainage swales, or geotextile fabric under the base before ordering material.

Yes, crushed stone with a compacted base is commonly used to support heavy equipment, but the base thickness and stone gradation must match the load. For temporary construction access in National Hills, contractors often use 6 inches or more of compacted structural aggregate; lightweight decorative gravel is not suitable for heavy loads. Tell our sales team about anticipated traffic so we can recommend the right product and thickness.

You can request tailgate spreading at checkout, and drivers in National Hills may offer this service at their discretion when it can be done safely. Please note that Hello Gravel does not guarantee spreading and drivers decide on-site whether spreading is safe and possible. If spreading is critical, discuss options with our team before delivery so expectations are clear.

Gravel reflects local geology, so material sourced near National Hills will vary in color, size, and texture compared with stock photos. Seasonal weather and local quarries affect how material looks and performs, so expect natural variation. If color or texture is important, add notes at checkout and our team will try to accommodate preferences where possible.

Contact Hello Gravel as soon as possible if you need to modify or cancel an order for delivery to National Hills; changes are easiest before the order is processed or dispatched.
