For driveways on Alpharetta's clay, choose angular, compactable mixes like crushed stone (3/4" to 1") or crusher run as a structural base and 3/8" to 3/4" topcoat for traction. For patios, pea gravel or washed decomposed granite look nice but need edge restraint and a compacted base to prevent sinking in clay soil. Consider adding a geotextile fabric under the base to reduce mixing with underlying clay and improve drainage.

Use 1 cubic yard ≈ 1.4 tons as a rule of thumb for gravel. Example estimates: a 12' x 50' driveway at 3" depth ≈ 5.6 yd3 (≈ 8 tons); at 4" depth ≈ 7.4 yd3 (≈ 10.5 tons). A 10' x 12' patio at 2" depth ≈ 0.7 yd3 (≈ 1 ton). Always order 5-10% extra for compaction and waste.

For slope erosion control in Alpharetta's climate, use larger, angular stone like 1" to 3" washed rock or riprap at the slope toe and swales to slow runoff. Combine stone with terraces, retaining features, and geotextile fabric to stabilize soil, and consider using gabions where concentrated flow occurs. Consult a local civil engineer for steep slopes or where tree roots and utilities are involved.

A proper gravel driveway typically requires excavation of soft clay, a separation fabric, 4" to 6" of compacted crushed stone base, and a 2" to 3" wearing layer of finished gravel. Edge restraint (timber, pavers, or stone) and a crowned slope for drainage are important to reduce rutting and washouts in Alpharetta's rain-prone seasons. Drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion, but skilled compacting and grading after delivery are recommended.

Expect routine maintenance in this humid, rain-prone area: light raking and regrading after heavy storms, and topping up material every 1 to 3 years depending on traffic. High-traffic driveways may need attention annually, including filling low spots and re-compacting. Weed control and proper drainage will reduce long-term maintenance needs.

Gravel has the lowest upfront cost and is quick to install, but it requires more frequent maintenance and periodic top-ups. Asphalt and pavers cost more initially but usually last longer with less routine upkeep; asphalt is economical for smooth driving surfaces, while pavers offer the highest durability and appearance. Check Alpharetta city rules and any HOA covenants for impervious surface limits or driveway standards before choosing, as some areas have permit or runoff requirements.

Most deliveries use tri-axle dump trucks that need clear access and a suitable drop zone; narrow streets, low-hanging wires, or steep driveways can limit where trucks can safely unload. Drivers may perform tailgate spreading at their discretion if conditions allow, but this service is not guaranteed. Add access notes at checkout and contact our team if you have tight access so we can coordinate the best delivery plan.

Because Hello Gravel sources materials regionally, color and texture reflect local geology and may differ from stock photos; in the Alpharetta area you may see granite- or limestone-based tones and some reddish clay staining. If color is important, note your preference in the order notes and ask our sales team about local samples before ordering. We cannot guarantee an exact match, but we will work with suppliers to meet your preferences when possible.

Contact Hello Gravel as soon as possible if you need to change or cancel an order; modifications are easier before the supplier and truck are scheduled. We will do our best to accommodate changes, but late-stage adjustments may not be possible due to supplier processing and trucking schedules. Refer to our online order details or call customer service for next steps and available options.
