Gravel in Calhoun, GA

Hello Gravel connects Calhoun homeowners with local aggregate yards and independent suppliers that deliver across West Georgia. Our network includes regional quarries and landscape suppliers that provide tri-axle dump delivery to residential addresses; enter your zip code at checkout to see available suppliers and delivery options near Calhoun.

Typical delivered prices in the Calhoun area vary by type: common crushed stone often runs about $25 to $40 per ton, pea gravel or decorative stone $40 to $70 per ton, and larger river rock $50 to $100 per ton. A cubic yard is roughly 1.3–1.6 tons, so expect about 20% to 60% higher per-cubic-yard prices; delivery fees are often included for many orders through Hello Gravel but can add a flat fee or per-ton charge in some areas.

A typical tri-axle dump truck carries about 10 to 12 cubic yards, which is roughly 12 to 18 tons depending on material density. At local delivered rates, a full tri-axle load of common crushed stone in Calhoun will often cost between $300 and $700, while decorative stone loads can run $600 to $1,500; final price depends on material, supplier, and exact delivery logistics.

Coverage depends on driveway width; for a 100 ft long by 10 ft wide driveway (1,000 sq ft), you would need about 9 tons at 2 inches, 13 tons at 3 inches, and 18 tons at 4 inches. Using local per-ton ranges, material-and-delivery costs for that 1,000 sq ft example would roughly be $225 to $720 at 2 inches, $325 to $910 at 3 inches, and $450 to $1,260 at 4 inches, depending on the gravel type chosen.

You can lay gravel directly on compacted soil for very short-term or light-use areas, but in Calhoun's climate and soils proper preparation (clearing, grading, compaction, and often a layer of geotextile fabric and a crushed-stone base) greatly improves drainage and longevity. Expect additional costs for prep work and compaction; professional site preparation for a driveway can add several hundred to a few thousand dollars depending on size and condition.

For projects of 3 tons or more, bulk dump truck delivery is usually most cost-effective since Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons and larger loads reduce per-ton delivery costs. For small decorative projects under 3 tons, pick-up at a local yard or a small-load delivery from a landscape supplier may be cheaper; use our material calculator to compare quantities and delivery pricing for your zip code.

One ton of typical gravel covers about 115 sq ft at 2 inches, about 77 sq ft at 3 inches, and about 58 sq ft at 4 inches. These estimates assume average gravel density; actual coverage can vary with stone size and compaction, so we recommend calculating with the specific product shown at checkout.

Most residential gravel deliveries and driveway installations in Calhoun do not require a material-delivery permit, but local rules, HOA covenants, curb-cut permits, or commercial zoning requirements may apply. We recommend contacting Calhoun City Hall or Gordon County Planning, and checking any HOA rules before ordering to avoid surprises.

Plan for proper drainage and edge restraints, choose a crushed base under the surface stone, and compact in layers to reduce washout and rutting in Georgia's wet seasons. When ordering, add a small overage (5% to 10%) for compaction and spillage, request delivery placement instructions at checkout, and note any color preferences in Order Notes since regional stone appearance varies.

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

We cannot get out of the truck and manually spread it. However, depending on the location, safety, and comfortability of the driver – we may be able to tailgate spread your material. This involves pulling the truck forward as material is being dumped to make it easier for you to distribute material after delivery.

The minimum order size is 3 tons.

No, because we are a national supplier, we utilize our existing network of suppliers across the country. Therefore, the materials will likely be delivered from a contracted trucking company.

We specialize in making the aggregate buying process as easy and seamless as possible by managing the process from end to end. We have a network of suppliers that we source the materials from where we have negotiated rates. However, we do charge a markup and because of this you may be able to find the materials cheaper on your own. But if you want a hassle free experience, then we are for you!
