Gravel in Baxley, GA

Costs vary by gravel type, delivery distance, and truck size, but most Baxley homeowners see delivered gravel prices in a modest range per ton. Expect higher rates for specialty decorative stone and lower rates for common crushed stone; Hello Gravel provides transparent quotes for your zip code so you can compare options and see delivery fees up front.

Common choices in West Georgia include crushed stone (like 3/4" or #57) for driveways and base layers, pea gravel for walkways and decorative beds, and river rock for accents and drainage areas. Crushed stone locks together for a stable surface, pea gravel is attractive but shifts more, and river rock is best for water features and erosion control.

Use these estimates for crushed gravel on a compacted base: 2" depth = about 0.9 tons per 100 sq ft, 3" = about 1.3 tons, and 4" = about 1.7 tons. Material density varies by type, so round up and add 5-10% for settling, plus remember Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order.

Gravel performs well but can rut or wash out in heavy rain and soften under heat if not properly graded and compacted. Regular maintenance includes regrading low spots after storms, topping up lost material every few years, keeping good edge restraints, and installing proper drainage to reduce washouts.

Yes. Many yards around Baxley have clayey subsoils that hold water and cause poor drainage, which increases the need for a sturdy base and good drainage. For clay-heavy sites, contractors typically recommend a compacted crushed-stone base and geotextile fabric to prevent mixing of subgrade and gravel.

A well-built gravel driveway in this region can function for many years, but it usually needs resurfacing or top-ups every 3-7 years depending on traffic and drainage. Structural rebuilding of the base may be needed every 10-20 years if subgrade issues are not addressed earlier.

Tailgate spreading may be offered at the driver's discretion; for guaranteed spreading or full installation, ask us to connect you with contractors who provide that service.

Gravel generally has a lower upfront cost than asphalt or concrete, but it requires more frequent maintenance such as regrading and periodic topping. Asphalt and concrete cost more to install but often need less frequent routine work; which is best depends on your budget, desired look, and willingness to maintain the surface—get local quotes to compare total costs over time.

For clay subsoil, a common recommendation is to install a geotextile non-woven fabric to separate subgrade and stone, then add a compacted base of 4-6" of crushed stone or crusher-run (followed by a 2-3" wearing course). Edge restraints and proper grading are also important to keep the gravel contained and maintain drainage.

Local rules vary: some properties in Baxley may require permits or have zoning rules, and many HOAs have restrictions on driveway materials or appearance. Before ordering, contact Baxley city planning or your HOA to confirm requirements; Hello Gravel can help time delivery once you have approvals.

Clear a safe access path by removing low branches, vehicles, and obstacles, and identify the preferred dump location for the driver to minimize landscaping impact. Note that Hello Gravel deliveries are by contracted trucks, drivers may refuse unsafe sites, and tailgate spreading is optional—leave order notes and photos if you have a preferred placement.

Yes. Because heavy rains are common, installing positive-grade slopes, French drains, swales, or perforated pipe can channel water away from the gravel surface and reduce washouts. Combining those fixes with edge restraints and a stable crushed-stone base will greatly improve longevity and reduce maintenance.
