Gravel in Barnesville, GA

Delivered gravel prices in West Georgia typically vary by material and availability; expect roughly $30 to $70 per ton for common gravels (pea gravel and basic crushed stone on the low end, specialty river rock on the high end). Prices depend on material type, delivery distance, and seasonal demand in and around Barnesville (population 10,670), so get a quote through Hello Gravel for an exact delivered price to your zip code.

Homeowners and contractors in Barnesville most often choose crushed stone (#57 or 3/4" minus/crusher run) and pea gravel for driveways and parking pads. Crushed stone with fines compacts well and resists rutting on clay soils, while pea gravel and river rock are decorative but may shift more and require edging and more frequent maintenance.

Barnesville's clay-rich soils hold water and can lead to poor drainage and rutting after heavy rains, while hot summers cause drying and can loosen surface fines. To improve performance, install a compacted crushed-stone base, use geotextile fabric on soft spots, build a crowned surface for runoff, and maintain drainage ditches to reduce pooling and washouts.

Coverage depends on depth and gravel density, but a practical rule: one ton covers about 65 sq ft at 4" depth, about 130 sq ft at 2" depth, and roughly 260 sq ft at 1" depth. Use these estimates when planning driveways or pads, and check with Hello Gravel's material calculator for the exact material you select.

Hello Gravel partners with local suppliers and contracted haulers to deliver gravel in the Barnesville area; minimum orders on our platform start at 3 tons, though individual suppliers or landscapers may set higher minimums for delivery or spreading. If you need installation, Hello Gravel can connect you with local contractors, but ask them directly about minimums and labor rates before booking.

Permit and HOA requirements vary by property: some parts of Barnesville or Lamar County may require permits or have design rules, and many homeowners associations have specific surfacing guidelines. Before ordering gravel, check with the City of Barnesville planning department and your HOA to confirm any local rules or permit fees.

With proper base preparation and drainage, gravel driveways in Barnesville can last many years, but they typically need light regrading annually or every 1-3 years and a replenishing top-up (1/2" to 2" of material) every 2-5 years depending on traffic. Heavier farm or commercial use will require more frequent maintenance and thicker periodic additions.

For heavy equipment and farm access, use a structural base such as 3/4" crushed stone or crusher run (3/4" minus) with a compacted layer of 4" to 8" depending on expected loads, and consider geotextile fabric to separate clay subgrade from stone. Properly compacted layers and good drainage are essential to prevent rutting in Barnesville's clay soils.

Gravel has a lower upfront installed cost in Barnesville—roughly $1 to $3 per sq ft for a basic gravel driveway—while asphalt generally runs $3 to $7 per sq ft and concrete $4 to $10 per sq ft, though prices vary with scope and site prep. Gravel requires more frequent maintenance (regrading and topping), so consider lifecycle costs and your tolerance for upkeep when choosing a surface.

Crushed stone is more commonly available from local quarries in West Georgia and usually has shorter lead times (often a few days), while natural river rock is less common locally and can have longer lead times and higher delivered cost. Hello Gravel can check local supplier inventories and provide delivery windows for specific materials to your Barnesville address.

Order in multiples of the minimum 3-ton requirement, use our material calculator to estimate quantities, request delivery dates that avoid heavy rain seasons, and add order notes about preferred drop location and access restrictions. If you want tailgate spreading, request it at checkout but note drivers perform it at their discretion; for full installation, ask us to connect you with local contractors.

Prevent washouts by installing a crowned surface so water sheds to the sides, adding edge restraints (timber or pavers), and maintaining ditches or French drains where water concentrates. For steeper sections, use larger stone in the base course, and consider check dams or riprap at concentrated flow points to reduce erosion.

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