Gravel in dixie, GA

In West Georgia, bulk gravel prices commonly fall in the range of about $25 to $60 per ton depending on type (crushed stone, pea gravel, etc.) and availability. Hello Gravel shows upfront pricing for your zip code; many areas have free delivery for larger orders but rural drops near Dixie may have a flat delivery fee of roughly $50 to $150 depending on distance and access. Minimum orders start at 3 tons and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an added fee. For an exact total, check your zip code on our site or request a quote.

Common West Georgia options include 3/4" crushed stone (or #57), crush-and-run (also called 3/4" minus), pea gravel, river rock, and decomposed granite. For driveways, crushed stone or crush-and-run give the best compaction and traction; for patios and seating areas, pea gravel or decomposed granite provide a smoother, more finished look. Regional color and texture vary, so ask for photos and a spec sheet when ordering for a visual match to Dixie area materials.

Estimate cubic yards by area times depth: for a 12x40 ft driveway (480 sq ft), 3 inches of gravel equals about 4.4 cubic yards which is roughly 6.2 tons using a typical 1.4 tons/yd3 density. If you install 4 inches you will need about 5.9 cubic yards or ~8.3 tons. Plan on ordering 10 to 15% extra for compaction, grading, and waste, so a safe order for a 3–4" finished depth is about 7 to 10 tons; Hello Gravel’s minimum order is 3 tons.

Yes. Much of West Georgia, including the Dixie area, has clay-prone soils and periodic heavy rains that can cause washouts and rutting if a proper base and drainage are not installed. Use a compacted crush-and-run base, consider geotextile fabric, slope the driveway to a crown, and add swales or culverts to move water away from the surface. These steps reduce maintenance and improve longevity in Dixie’s climate.

Installed prices vary with site prep, access, and drainage work, but typical ranges in West Georgia are about $1.50 to $4.00 per square foot. A simple regrade and new surface will be at the lower end, while full excavation, fabric, and drainage work push toward the higher end. Get multiple quotes and confirm what the price includes (grading, compaction, edge restraints, and hauling).

Expect light maintenance every year—raking to redistribute stone and filling low spots after heavy rains—and a top-up of 1 to 2 inches of fresh gravel every 2 to 4 years depending on traffic and weather. With good base construction and drainage in Dixie’s wet climate, a gravel driveway can serve well for 15 to 30 years; without proper drainage it will need more frequent repairs. Routine maintenance is the biggest factor in long life.

Rules vary by jurisdiction. Some counties or homeowner associations in West Georgia limit driveway surfacing, curb cuts, or front-yard gravel, so check with the Dixie city office, your county planning department, and any HOA before ordering. If you have doubts, ask Hello Gravel’s sales team for tips on typical local requirements and where to confirm permitting.

Hello Gravel partners with a network of local suppliers and quarries across West Georgia to fulfill orders near Dixie; specific pit names vary by zip code and seasonal availability. The fastest way to see which suppliers deliver to your address is to enter your zip code on our site or contact our sales team, who can provide material photos, pit names, and delivery windows. We source regionally, so the look and gradation will reflect nearby geology.

Deliveries arrive on dump trucks (typically tri-axle) and will be placed where truck access is safe; drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion but that service is not guaranteed. Clear a turn and level area, mark utility locations, and identify the desired drop spot before arrival to avoid rehandling; a 3-ton minimum applies to most orders. If access is tight or you need help, ask Hello Gravel when you schedule delivery so we can flag it for the supplier.

For driveways in Dixie choose angular crushed stone or crush-and-run for compaction and load-bearing ability, and aim for a finished depth of 3 to 4 inches over a compacted base. For patios and seating areas choose pea gravel or decomposed granite, usually 1 to 2 inches compacted over a stabilizing base or edging to keep edges neat. Consider local rainfall and drainage: patios should slope away from structures and use edging or pavers to keep loose material contained.

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