Gravel in Arcade, GA

Prices in Arcade vary by type and size, but expect roughly $30 to $80 per ton for common gravels (pea, crusher-run, 3/4" crushed). Specialty stones or river rock can cost more. Final price depends on supplier, delivery distance, and whether spreading is requested; use Hello Gravel to get a local quote for your zip code.

A typical tri-axle dump truck holds about 12 to 16 tons of gravel. Multiply the per-ton price by the truck capacity to estimate cost (for example, 14 tons at $50/ton is about $700), plus any delivery fees or special handling. Hello Gravel shows truck-delivery pricing and available options for your area when you request a quote.

Coverage depends on depth. As a rule of thumb, 1 ton of gravel covers about 230 sq ft at 1" depth, about 115 sq ft at 2" depth, and about 57 sq ft at 4" depth. Actual coverage varies with gravel type, compaction, and how evenly it is spread.

Buying in bulk and having it delivered is usually the most cost-effective option; Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers so you can compare per-ton prices and delivery. Recycled crushed concrete can be cheaper for base layers, and picking up directly from a nearby quarry may save delivery charges if you have a truck. Consider total cost (material plus delivery and spreading) rather than just unit price.

Usually you cannot remove gravel from state or federal lands without permission, and taking material from private property requires the landowner's consent. Local county or municipal rules may also restrict extraction to protect waterways and habitat. For safe, legal sourcing, order from licensed suppliers listed on Hello Gravel or contact local authorities before removing material yourself.

Occasionally you may find small fossils or attractive stones in river-deposited gravel, but they are not common in typical construction-grade gravel used for driveways or patios. If you are hunting for collectibles, look for known fossil or fossil-bearing sites and obtain permission to search on private land. For landscaping purposes, buy decorative stone from local suppliers to ensure consistent appearance.

For driveways in Arcade's West Georgia climate, 3/4" crushed stone or crusher-run (mix of stone and fines) is a common choice because it compacts well and drains reasonably. For walkways and decorative areas, pea gravel or river rock can be attractive but may shift under heavy use. Consider local soil (often clay) and drainage needs; adding a compacted base and proper slope improves long-term performance.

Use this quick method: calculate area (length x width) and desired depth, convert to cubic yards, then convert to tons. For example, a 20' x 100' driveway at 2" depth needs about 12.3 cubic yards, roughly 17 to 18 tons; add 10% for compaction and waste. Hello Gravel's material calculator can do this automatically for your exact dimensions and preferred depth.

Yes. Heavy rain can delay deliveries or make sites unsafe for dump trucks, and very muddy yards can limit where drivers can set loads or spread material. Standard delivery is 2+ business days, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST, but scheduling can shift around severe weather. If your site is wet or hard to access, note that at checkout and discuss options with Hello Gravel's team.

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

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.
