Gravel in aragon, GA

Expect delivered gravel prices in Aragon to vary by material: common driveway crushed stone often runs about $30 to $50 per ton delivered, while pea gravel or decorative stone can be $40 to $70 per ton. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order and many areas offer free delivery, but next-day or tailgate spreading can add fees; ask for a zip-code quote for exact pricing. Spreading by a contractor or driver (when available) is typically an additional labor charge; always confirm spreading availability at checkout.

For clay soils common in West Georgia, use a layered approach: a compacted 6" to 8" base of crusher run or bank run (mixed fines and stone) topped with 2" to 3" of 3/4" crushed stone or 3/8" crush-and-run for a stable wearing surface. Pea gravel looks nice but can shift and sink on clay unless you install geotextile fabric and a solid crushed-stone base first. Adding a geotextile fabric and proper drainage is important to prevent rutting and washouts on clay.

Aragon's humid, rainy climate increases the risk of washouts, rutting, and fines migrating during heavy storms, especially on slopes and poorly drained areas. Proper grading, crowns, edge restraints, and stone sizes chosen for drainage (coarser base, well-graded wearing layer) reduce erosion and standing water. Expect more frequent maintenance after heavy rains and plan for runoff control like swales or French drains where needed.

A typical 1-car driveway (about 12' x 20') with a 3" gravel surface needs roughly 2 to 3 cubic yards, or about 3 to 4 tons. A 2-car driveway (about 20' x 20') at the same depth needs roughly 3.5 to 5 cubic yards, or about 5 to 7 tons. If you plan deeper base layers (6"+ crushed base for clay soils), add an extra 2 to 4 tons depending on area size.

Permit and HOA rules vary. Some properties in Aragon or Polk County require permits or have paving and material rules for driveways and front-yard surfaces, especially in subdivisions with HOAs. Check with Aragon city hall, Polk County permitting, and your HOA before ordering to confirm any restrictions or required approvals.

On clay soils around Aragon, install a compacted base of 6" to 8" of crusher run or bank run, compacted in 2" lifts with a plate compactor or roller, then add 2" to 3" of wearing gravel. Lay geotextile fabric under the base to limit mud mixing and improve stability. Provide a crowned profile (1/4" to 1/2" per foot) and install edge restraints plus a drainage swale or French drain where water concentrates.

Gravel supplies are generally available year-round, but demand rises in spring and summer and after heavy storm seasons, which can tighten supply and increase prices. Wet weather can delay deliveries and make sites harder to work, so prices or lead times may be higher in peak construction months and immediately after major storms. Check availability and lead times for your zip code when planning.

Gravel is the lowest upfront option and often costs much less than asphalt or concrete for rural driveways, but it requires ongoing maintenance like periodic grading and top-dressing. Asphalt and concrete have higher upfront costs but less frequent maintenance and a smoother surface for cars; regional pricing varies, so get local quotes for a like-for-like comparison. Consider soil conditions, drainage, and long-term maintenance when choosing a material.

Plan to regrade and add 1" to 2" of new gravel every 1 to 3 years for typical household traffic, with heavier use requiring more frequent attention. Minor maintenance like filling ruts or potholes is usually a DIY job; professional regrading and spreading can cost $100 to $400 for small driveways depending on material and access. Periodic addition of 1 to 3 tons every few years is common, but exact frequency depends on rainfall, traffic, and how well drainage and base were done initially.

As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.
