Gravel in Canton, GA

Typical delivered prices for common gravels in Canton range from about $25 to $55 per ton depending on type (pea gravel, crushed limestone, river rock) and quantity. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum and offers clear upfront pricing; delivery is free in many areas but fees can apply for remote locations or small orders, and next-day delivery is available for an extra charge if ordered before noon CST.

Common West Georgia gravels include crushed limestone (#57 or #8), pea gravel, river rock, crusher run (base mix), and screenings. Use crushed stone for driveways and base material, pea gravel for patios and drainage areas, river rock for decorative beds and erosion control, and crusher run as a compactable foundation under driveways and pads.

Canton’s clay-rich soils hold moisture and can lead to rutting and washouts if a gravel driveway is placed directly on them. Proper drainage, a compacted crushed-stone base, and slope or swales to move water away are essential to prevent sinking and erosion in the local clay terrain.

For a light residential driveway, plan on about 6 inches of compacted crusher run base topped with 2 to 3 inches of surface gravel. For heavier use or driveways that see trucks, increase the base to 8 to 12 inches with a 3 to 4 inch surface layer. Always grade and compact each layer, and add edge restraints to keep material in place.

You can also contact local landscape supply yards and excavation contractors, and be sure to check references, insurance, and past work photos before hiring for installation.

City of Canton and Cherokee County zoning rules, plus neighborhood HOA covenants, can restrict driveway materials, curb cuts, and front-yard surfacing. Before ordering, check with Canton Planning and Zoning or your HOA for any design standards or permit requirements to avoid rework or fines.

For slopes in West Georgia, larger, angular materials like 1-3 inch riprap or 1-2 inch river rock work well to slow water and protect soil; crushed stone can be used in benches or near drainage outlets for stability. Combine rock with vegetation, terraces, check dams, and proper drainage to reduce erosion during heavy rains.

Canton’s hot summers and heavy rain events mean gravel needs periodic attention: regrade washouts after storms, add 1/2 to 1 inch of top-up material per year or more for high-traffic areas, remove weeds, and recompact low spots. Inspect and clear ditches and swales before and after the rainy season to keep water flowing away from gravel surfaces.

With a well-built compacted base and good drainage, a gravel driveway’s structural base can last 10 to 20 years, while the surface layer typically needs topping or regrading every 1 to 5 years depending on traffic and weather. High-traffic or truck use will shorten the interval and require more frequent replenishing.

In Canton’s clay and wet areas, geotextile fabric is recommended to help separate subsoil from aggregate and slow mixing, but it is not a substitute for a compacted crushed-stone base. For driveways and heavy-use pads, use both fabric and an appropriate depth of crusher run or compactable base to get the best long-term performance.
