Gravel in Bartow, GA

Delivered gravel prices in Bartow generally vary by type and haul distance. Expect a typical range of about $30 to $60 per ton, which converts roughly to $42 to $84 per cubic yard using 1 cubic yard ≈ 1.4 tons. Specialty materials (river rock, decorative stone) and small orders or long hauls can push costs higher; Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum.

For Bartow's clay-prone soil and occasional freeze-thaw, crushed stone blends perform best. #57 crushed stone or crusher run (also called ABC or dense-graded base) give good compaction and drainage. Avoid loose, small pea gravel on high-traffic driveways; use it only for low-traffic decorative areas.

Using common driveway sizes and a 4-inch depth: a 1-car (10' x 20') needs about 3.5 tons, a 2-car (20' x 20') about 7 tons, and a 3-car (30' x 20') about 10.5 tons. These are estimates using 1 cubic yard ≈ 1.4 tons; measure your exact dimensions and add 5-10% for compaction and settling.

Some neighborhoods and HOAs in Bartow may restrict gravel driveways or require a specific material, edge treatment, or appearance. Bartow County may also have standards for driveway aprons or work within the county right-of-way. Check your HOA covenants and contact Bartow County building/roads department before installation to confirm any permits or restrictions.

Clay-heavy soils in Bartow hold water and drain slowly, which can cause soft spots, rutting, and frost heave under gravel. To improve performance, install a well-graded base (coarser stone) over geotextile fabric, ensure good slope for runoff, and provide edge restraints so gravel stays in place. Proper base and drainage are more important here than in sandy soils.

Plan on annual maintenance: regrading and redistributing material each year and adding about 0.5 to 1 inch of new gravel every 1-3 years depending on traffic. Expect periodic weed treatment, pothole patching, and occasional fresh topcoat material; material costs vary but adding one to a few tons yearly is common for typical residential driveways.

Gravel has the lowest upfront cost and best natural drainage but requires more frequent maintenance; initial life expectancy is 10-20 years with upkeep. Asphalt and concrete cost more up front and last longer (asphalt 15-30 years, concrete 30+ years) with less routine maintenance, but they reduce on-site drainage and may need stormwater measures. Choose based on budget, aesthetic, and drainage needs.

Hello Gravel standard delivery is typically 2+ business days, with next-day delivery available if ordered before noon CST for an extra fee. Local suppliers and contractors in and around Bartow (including nearby Cartersville and West Georgia suppliers) have variable lead times; installation contractors may require scheduling several days to a few weeks depending on season and workload.

For heavy-use areas in West Georgia, aim for a 6 to 8 inch compacted base of larger aggregate (2-inch minus or crusher-run) with a 2- to 3-inch wearing layer of #57 or similar surface stone. Compact in layers with a plate compactor or vibratory roller, and use geotextile fabric or geogrid over soft, clay soils to reduce mixing and improve load distribution.

Yes. Crushed stone, large pea gravel for low slopes, or riprap for steeper channels can control erosion when combined with terraces, retaining edges, and geotextile fabric. Use linear edging (metal or concrete), vegetation, or stone berms to hold material on slopes; for steep, high-flow areas consider riprap or gabions instead of loose decorative gravel.

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