Gravel in barwick, GA

Delivered gravel in Barwick typically ranges from about $30 to $65 per ton depending on grade and distance. Per cubic yard that usually converts to roughly $40 to $90 per cubic yard, since 1 cubic yard of gravel is about 1.4 tons. Final price depends on material type, delivery distance, and whether spreading is requested; Hello Gravel minimum order is 3 tons.

Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers in the West Georgia region; because Barwick is a small town (population about 525), suppliers often come from nearby regional yards. Typical delivery radiuses for rural orders are 20 to 50 miles, but exact availability and radius vary by supplier and truck type, so check your zip code on our site or contact our team.

For clay soils in Barwick, a layered approach works best: a compacted crushed-stone base (crush and run or 3/4" minus) topped with 3/4" crushed stone or #57 stone for surface stability. For heavier traffic or farm roads, consider a larger-fractured stone (1"–2") over geotextile to reduce rutting. Avoid only loose round pea gravel on clay, as it will migrate and rut faster in wet seasons.

Use 1.4 tons per cubic yard as a rule of thumb. A typical 2-car driveway (about 20' x 40') at 6" depth needs roughly 15 cubic yards, or about 21 tons. A 1-car driveway (12' x 40') at 4" depth needs roughly 6 to 8 cubic yards (8 to 11 tons), and a 1,000 sq ft path at 3" depth needs about 9 cubic yards (12 to 13 tons). Remember Hello Gravel minimum order is 3 tons, so small top-ups may be more convenient combined with other work.

Wet seasons and clay soils in the Barwick area tend to hold water, causing faster rutting and settling of unprepared gravel surfaces. Proper drainage—side ditches, crown in the driving surface, and a compacted base—greatly improves longevity. Adding geotextile fabric and using angular crushed stone helps water pass through or be redirected rather than causing washouts.

For simple tailgate delivery only, expect to pay just the delivered price of material; spreading and grading by heavy equipment typically adds labor and equipment costs. Typical contractor-installed prices range from about $1 to $3 per sq ft for a basic spread and compact job, or roughly $10 to $35 per cubic yard installed depending on prep work and access. Ask for written estimates that separate material, hauling, spreading, and any site prep.

Permit rules vary by county and whether your driveway ties into a state road. Check with your local county road department for Barwick and with the Georgia Department of Transportation if your driveway connects to a state route. If in doubt, contact our team and your county office before ordering so you can factor permits and required setbacks into the planning.

Expect to grade and re-level a gravel driveway once or twice a year in Barwick's climate, with larger refreshes every 3 to 5 years. Annual maintenance (grading, minor infill) often costs a few hundred dollars for rural driveways, while a larger top-up of material runs $30 to $65 per ton delivered. Weed control and edge maintenance can add modest yearly costs; proactive drainage fixes reduce long-term expense.

Gravel has the lowest upfront cost—roughly $1 to $3 per sq ft installed—but requires more ongoing maintenance and periodic top-ups. Asphalt is mid-range ($3 to $6 per sq ft) and lasts 15 to 25 years with sealcoating, while concrete costs more upfront ($6 to $10+ per sq ft) and can last 25 to 40 years. For rural Barwick properties with low to moderate budgets and easy access to local rock, gravel is often the most practical option if you accept regular maintenance.

Yes. A compacted, properly graded base (crusher run or similar) greatly extends the life of a gravel driveway by reducing rutting and migration into clay soils. Compaction and a well-built base do add cost—often $5 to $15 per cubic yard extra for the materials and equipment—but they reduce regrade frequency and long-term material needs. For Barwick's wet conditions and clay subsoils, investing in a compacted base is usually cost-effective.
