Gravel: Built For Cobb's Sunny Climate • Fast Local Gravel Delivery And Support
Decomposed Granite
Known for its natural look, this compact, durable material drains well and holds up in high-traffic areas. Made from crushed and weathered granite down to a mix of fine gravel and sand—best for patios, paths, driveways, and landscape projects. Can range in color from light brown and tan to reddish and gray, depending on the natural stone color in the region.
Road Base
(Class 5 | ABC | Crusher Run) A mixture of crushed limestone or granite, gravel, and sand, ranging from 1 ½” in size down to fines (small particles). Commonly used for constructing roads, driveway bases, parking lots, and other paved and unpaved surfaces. Intended to be compacted, hence the inclusion of fines within the material to provide support and be resistant to erosion and shifting.

Why Cobb Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
With a city population of 2,051, Cobb sits within a growing metro that supports 2.7+ million people and a 0.40% annual growth rate. The area’s moderate climate — 228 sunny days per year, 34.25 inches of rain annually, and USDA hardiness zone 8b — encourages year-round outdoor projects and steady residential development. That steady growth creates ongoing demand for durable, low-maintenance aggregates for driveways, pathways, patios, and erosion control. Homeowners choose quality gravel because the right size and gradation improve drainage after seasonal rains, reduce maintenance under long sun exposure, and create stable surfaces for vehicles and foot traffic. Regional sourcing also means appearance and texture will reflect local geology, so matching material to site conditions matters for both function and curb appeal.Popular Projects in Cobb This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Cobb gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Cobb.
Prices vary by material, distance, and supplier, but in West California delivered gravel to Cobb commonly runs about $45 to $95 per cubic yard, or roughly $30 to $65 per ton. Remote or steep rural deliveries to Cobb can push prices higher; request a local quote for exact pricing and note Hello Gravel's minimum order of 3 tons.
A tri-axle dump truck in this region usually carries about 8 to 12 cubic yards. Delivery and material together commonly range from $300 to $1,000 per truckload depending on material type, distance, and site access; divide by the yards to estimate per-cubic-yard cost and ask for a per-load quote for your address.
For vehicle traffic in rural Cobb, use a compacted base of 4 to 8 inches of crushed rock (road base) topped with 1 to 2 inches of 3/4-inch minus or a similar surface stone. Two inches of loose gravel alone is generally not sufficient for a driveway since it lacks a compacted base and will rut over time.
For driveways, crushed rock or road base provides strength and drainage. For walkways, decomposed granite or crushed stone (3/8" to 3/4") gives a firm, attractive surface. For gardens and planting beds, pea gravel or mulch-style crushed stone work well, but consider stabilized or polymer-bound products where you want low maintenance and better accessibility.
A 50 lb bag is about 0.5 cubic feet and covers roughly 6 square feet at 1 inch depth (3 sq ft at 2 inches). A 20 ft long by 10 ft wide driveway (200 sq ft) needs about 1.23 cubic yards at 2 inches, 1.85 cubic yards at 3 inches, and 2.47 cubic yards at 4 inches; round up and add 5-10% for compaction and waste.
Good prep includes removing topsoil and organic material, installing geotextile fabric if drainage or weed control is needed, building a compacted sub-base of 4 to 8 inches of crushed road base in 2- to 3-inch lifts, compacting each lift, and adding edge restraints. Also slope the surface for drainage away from structures since Cobb gets winter rain that can move loose material.
Polymer-bound and resin-stabilized gravels are available locally and give a firm, low-dust, permeable surface that resists displacement. They cost more than loose gravel but can be less expensive than new poured concrete depending on prep and finish; get local installed quotes and consider permeability, appearance, and maintenance when comparing to concrete.
Avoid pea gravel on slopes, where children play barefoot, or where wheelchairs and strollers must pass because it rolls and shifts. Alternatives include crushed stone, decomposed granite (stabilized if needed), or polymer-stabilized gravel for a firmer surface that still looks natural.
Buying bulk delivered material is usually the cheapest per ton if you need several cubic yards; local quarry pickup can save money if you have a truck and trailer. Bagged retail is the most expensive option per ton; compare Hello Gravel quotes to local quarries and factor in hauling time and minimum order sizes.
Gravel can reduce pests that like organic mulches (termites, pillbugs) because it does not provide habitat, but some insects like ants can still nest in dry gravel. Focus on good drainage and avoiding wood-to-soil contact near foundations; choose non-organic gravels for lower pest risk around buildings.
A good rule of thumb is about 1.4 tons per cubic yard for most gravel and crushed stone, but density varies with material and moisture. Ask your supplier for the exact conversion they use when you order so you can confirm weight limits and delivery loads for rural Cobb roads.
Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion; request it at checkout but understand it is not guaranteed. The driver will assess safety and site conditions on arrival and may decline if it cannot be done safely or without damaging the site.

We cannot get out of the truck and manually spread it. However, depending on the location, safety, and comfortability of the driver – we may be able to tailgate spread your material. This involves pulling the truck forward as material is being dumped to make it easier for you to distribute material after delivery.
The minimum order size is 3 tons.
