Gravel in Cuthbert, GA

For Cuthbert's humid, clay-prone soils, angular crushed stone (like #57 or 3/4" crushed) is a strong choice because it locks together and resists rutting. Bank run or mixed “road base” is good for a compacted base layer, while pea gravel is attractive but can shift more on drive routes and slopes.

A 12x40 driveway is 480 square feet; at 3 inches deep you need about 4.44 cubic yards (roughly 6.2 tons using a typical crushed-stone density), and at 4 inches about 5.93 cubic yards (roughly 8.3 tons). We recommend ordering 10-15% extra to allow for compaction and waste, so plan on about 7 to 9.5 tons for that size.

Yes—Cuthbert’s humid climate and local clay soils can hold water and create issues with drainage, rutting, and washouts if a driveway is not prepared properly. Proper base preparation, a durable base stone, good grading, and drainage features will reduce problems and extend the life of a gravel surface.

Contractors usually recommend excavating soft clay, installing geotextile fabric if needed, placing 4–6 inches of compacted road base or crushed stone, and topping with 1–2 inches of surface gravel like #57. Adding edge restraints and positive drainage (ditches, swales) is important in West Georgia to prevent material loss during heavy storms.

Costs vary by site conditions and contractor, but for a small residential driveway in the Cuthbert area, base prep and grading can commonly range from several hundred to a few thousand dollars depending on excavation needs and drainage work. The best way to budget is to get 2–3 local quotes, since steep sites, heavy clay removal, or added drainage features will increase the price.

With good base prep and proper drainage, a gravel driveway in Cuthbert typically needs a light top-up every 1–2 years and a more significant resurfacing every 3–5 years. Heavy traffic, poor drainage, or steep slopes can shorten that timeline, while regular maintenance like grading and adding fresh stone will extend it.

Gravel has a lower upfront cost and is easier to repair, but in Cuthbert’s clay soils and humid climate it often requires more frequent maintenance and top-ups. Asphalt has a higher initial cost and requires periodic sealing or eventual repaving every 15–25 years, but it usually has lower yearly maintenance needs; compare upfront budget, desired look, and how much maintenance you want to do over time.

Residential driveways normally do not require permits, but commercial parking lots often trigger local regulations around stormwater, grading, setbacks, and parking standards. Check with the City of Cuthbert and Randolph County building or planning departments before installing a commercial lot to confirm permit and drainage requirements.

Angular crushed stone and larger base rock (3/4" to 1.5") with a compacted road-base layer resist movement better than smooth, round gravels. Combine those materials with terracing, check dams, geotextile fabric, and proper edge restraint to reduce washouts on slopes common in West Georgia.

Many local suppliers and haulers serving Cuthbert offer delivery by dump truck, and some provide tailgate spreading at the driver's discretion for an additional fee. Expect possible extra charges for spreading, small-lot minimums, limited access or long carry distances, and next-day delivery; Hello Gravel will show delivery options and let you add spreading requests at checkout, and our team can confirm any extra fees before you buy.

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