Gravel: Resists Heavy Rain In North Elberton • Next-Day Gravel Delivery For Local Projects
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 Alma Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Alma is a community of 7,650 residents located within a growing region whose metro area population is 2.3+ million. With a steady growth rate of 2.10% annually and a moderate climate (Hardiness Zone 8b), local homeowners are seeing more renovation and outdoor projects that require reliable aggregates. Alma averages 228 sunny days per year and receives about 34.00 inches of rain annually, conditions that encourage active landscaping, new driveways, and erosion-control work. As yards are graded, gardens expanded, and driveways replaced, homeowners and small contractors look for gravel that balances drainage, compaction, and appearance—qualities that matter when building durable surfaces in an expanding, sun-rich Georgia community. Gravel performs well in Alma’s mix of sun and seasonal rain because well-graded, locally sourced stone improves drainage, reduces muddy patches, and creates stable bases for pavers and driveways. In clay-heavy soils common to the region, a layer of angular gravel helps break capillary action and keep surfaces drier after heavy showers. Hello Gravel connects Alma homeowners with local suppliers and professional dump-truck delivery, offering transparent pricing, scheduling options (including next-day delivery where available), and regional material choices so you get gravel suited to local soil and weather without the hassle of coordinating multiple vendors.Popular Projects in Alma This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Alma gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Alma.
Delivered gravel prices in Alma usually vary by material and season, but a common range is about $30 to $70 per ton for standard crushed stone or pea gravel. Exact pricing depends on the gravel type, local supplier availability, and delivery distance; Hello Gravel provides transparent, location-specific quotes when you enter your zip code. Keep in mind our minimum order is 3 tons, so your per-order cost will reflect that minimum.
A typical tri-axle dump truck carries about 10 to 12 tons of gravel, so total cost is the per-ton price times the tonnage plus any delivery or hauling fee. For example, at $45 per ton a 10-ton load would be around $450 plus delivery; Hello Gravel shows line-item pricing so you can see material and delivery charges. If you only need a small amount, remember our minimum order is 3 tons and we can quote partial truck quantities when available.
Coverage varies by gravel size and desired depth, but as a rule of thumb 1 ton of gravel covers roughly 80 to 160 square feet at a 1-inch depth. For common project depths, 1 ton will cover about 40 to 80 square feet at 2 inches or 20 to 40 square feet at 4 inches. Use Hello Gravel's material calculator or contact our team to get a precise estimate for your chosen gravel type and depth.
Because Alma sits in south Georgia's coastal plain, local suppliers often offer rounded river-run gravel, pea gravel, and quarried crushed stone in tan, brown, and gray tones. Material mixes and color can vary by supplier and season, so photos are representative rather than exact. You can add color or texture preferences in the Order Notes and our team will pass them to the supplier.
Plan ahead in busy seasons like spring and early summer when landscaping projects increase demand; standard delivery typically requires 2 or more business days. Next-day delivery is often available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee, but weather conditions and supplier schedules can affect timing. If you have a specific project date, choose a preferred delivery date at checkout and contact our team early to confirm availability.
Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, and you can request this service at checkout. Whether spreading is possible depends on site access, truck placement, and safety considerations, so there are no guarantees. If spreading is essential, note it in your order and discuss options with our team before delivery.
Measure length x width x desired depth (in feet) to get cubic feet, divide by 27 to convert to cubic yards, then multiply by about 1.4 to 1.6 to convert cubic yards to tons depending on the gravel type. Example: a 20 ft x 10 ft driveway at 3 inches deep is 200 sq ft x 0.25 ft = 50 cubic feet = 1.85 cubic yards, which is roughly 2.6 to 3.0 tons, so you would order at least 3 tons. Use Hello Gravel's calculator or contact our team for a quick check and to accommodate the 3-ton minimum order.
Deliveries are made by contracted dump trucks (typically tri-axle) and drivers will place material where access and safety allow, so clear a straight approach and remove low branches or obstacles ahead of time. If street parking, HOA rules, or local ordinances in Alma affect truck access, please check those before delivery and note any restrictions in your order. We recommend marking the desired drop area and communicating any special instructions in the Order Notes so the driver and supplier can plan accordingly.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

The material will be delivered via dump truck. If your order is under 20 tons, then it will likely be just one dump truck load. If your order is more than 20 tons, it will be more than one dump truck load.

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.
