Two inches is generally too thin for a driveway in West Georgia's clay-prone soils if you expect regular vehicle use; we recommend 3 to 4 inches compacted over a stable base for passenger cars, and 4+ inches for trucks or heavier traffic.

A 20x20 area equals 400 sq ft. At 2 inches depth you would need about 4 to 5 tons; at 3 inches about 6 to 7 tons. Using local price estimates ($35–$70/ton), material cost is roughly $140 to $490 delivered, excluding compaction or installation.
