Gravel in Dahlonega, GA

Prices vary by material and supplier, but in Dahlonega you can generally expect crushed gravel to run about $30 to $75 per ton delivered. Lighter, common mixes and screenings are toward the lower end; decorative or specialty stone is toward the higher end. Final price depends on exact product, delivery distance, and any access or spreading requests, so check your zip code for specific quotes.

A typical tri-axle dump truck carries about 10 to 12 tons of gravel, so multiply your per-ton price by that amount. For Dahlonega deliveries, a full truckload usually ranges from roughly $300 to $900 delivered depending on material and distance. Remember Hello Gravel minimums start at 3 tons, so partial loads for small jobs will be priced per ton plus any delivery fee.

For 1,000 square feet the approximate tonnage is: 1 inch deep = 4.3 tons, 2 inches = 8.6 tons, 3 inches = 13.0 tons, 4 inches = 17.3 tons. These estimates assume typical crushed stone density and will vary slightly by stone type and compaction. Always round up for waste, grading, and settlement and use our material calculator for a precise amount.

Common local types include #57 stone (about 3/4"), #1 gravel (larger base stone), crushed stone (various sizes and screenings), pea gravel, and river rock. For driveways, a layered approach works best: #1 or larger stone for the base, then #57 or crushed stone for the surface. Patios often use crushing fines or pea gravel for comfort and appearance, while drainage trenches benefit from larger crushed stone or river rock to allow water flow.

Screenings and mixed crushed stone (fines-heavy mixes) are typically the least expensive locally. They are useful as a base or sub-layer but may not be ideal as a finished driveway surface because they can rut or track and may not shed water as well. For a durable driveway, consider pairing the inexpensive base with a coarser surface stone like #57.

"57 stone" refers to a mix of crushed rock around 3/4 inch in size with a range of smaller particles for interlock. It compacts well, provides good drainage, and makes a stable, low-maintenance driveway surface in Dahlonega's hilly terrain. Many homeowners choose #57 for top layers because it locks together while still allowing runoff on slopes.

Number 1 gravel is larger crushed stone, often 2 to 3 inches in size, used primarily as a structural base. Order #1 when you need a strong sub-base for driveways, roads, or heavy equipment pads, especially on slopes or poor soils around Dahlonega. It provides excellent drainage and support before finer layers are added.

Same-day delivery is uncommon and depends on local availability and truck schedules. We recommend checking delivery options at checkout and contacting our team early for urgent needs.

Yes. Dahlonega's hilly terrain and seasonal rains mean you should prioritize drainage, erosion control, and proper compaction. Use larger stone for slopes and drainage areas, consider geotextile fabric under gravel on steep grades, and allow extra material for washout-prone spots. If unsure, our team can recommend a suitable mix for your specific site conditions.
