Decorative Stone & Rock in Atlanta, GA

Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum order and standard delivery is typically 2+ business days. In Atlanta many orders qualify for free delivery, but when a fee applies local deliveries commonly run about $40 to $120 depending on distance and site access; tight driveways, long haul-ins to a backyard, or next-day requests can add extra charges.

Popular choices in Atlanta include pea gravel and crushed granite for pathways and driveways, river rock for drainage features and accents, decomposed granite for informal paths, and marble chips for modern, high-contrast beds. Local tastes and availability vary by neighborhood, so color and texture may reflect Georgia geology and regional supplier stock.

Atlanta's warm, humid climate encourages vegetation growth and can wash fines and small particles during heavy rains, so expect some settling and weed pressure over time. Stones themselves hold up well, but you should plan for good drainage, durable edging, and periodic topping to maintain appearance and prevent washouts after storms.

As a rule of thumb: 1" depth needs about 0.5 ton per 100 sq ft, 2" needs about 1.0 ton, and 3" needs about 1.5 tons. These estimates assume typical decorative stone weights; denser materials (marble chips, river rock) may require slightly more, so check specific product density before ordering.

Yes. Many Atlanta neighborhoods and HOAs have rules about front-yard surfaces, rock color, and the amount of impermeable coverage allowed. Check your HOA covenants and contact City of Atlanta zoning or stormwater offices if you are unsure; getting written approval up front avoids costly rework.

Decorative stone is usually the lowest upfront cost per square foot but requires more ongoing maintenance like periodic replenishing and edging. Asphalt and pavers cost more initially but provide more durable, low-maintenance surfaces and better load distribution. For Atlanta clay soils, any option needs a properly prepared base; crushed stone over a compacted base performs best for a long-lasting gravel driveway.

Yes. Hello Gravel connects you with trusted local suppliers and hauling partners in the Atlanta area for bulk material delivery. For full installation services (base work, edging, compaction) we recommend requesting local landscapers or drive contractors; always verify references, ask for photos of prior work, and get a written estimate.

On Atlanta’s clay soils remove topsoil, install a geotextile fabric to limit mixing, and lay a compacted 4" to 6" crushed-stone base (crusher run or road base) before decorative stone. On slopes use proper grading, retaining edges or terraces, and drainage features (French drains or swales) to prevent washouts and erosion; compacting the base is critical for stability.

Decorative stone can last many years but requires regular upkeep in Atlanta: remove leaves, pull weeds, regrade after heavy rains, and plan to add fresh stone every 1 to 3 years depending on traffic and weather. Larger stones like river rock or larger crushed stone settle less and need less topping up than fines or pea gravel.

For driveways choose 3/4" crushed stone or crushed granite placed over a compacted base and edged to contain material. For planting beds pick marble chips, larger pea gravel, or river rock for contrast and easier maintenance. For walking paths decomposed granite or compactable crushed stone give a firm, attractive surface that handles foot traffic well.
