Gravel in East Point, GA

Local per-ton pricing for common gravels in East Point usually falls in the range of about $30 to $70 per ton delivered, depending on material type, supplier, and distance. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order and may offer free delivery in many nearby areas; final price appears at checkout. Next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee, and exact costs vary by supplier and load size.

For West Georgia's heavy clay, crushed stone (3/4" to 1") or crusher-run is usually best because it compacts and sheds water when installed over a proper base. Recycled concrete is also a cost-effective option that compacts well, while pea gravel is decorative and tends to shift under vehicle traffic. Adding a geotextile fabric and a compacted base layer helps prevent rutting and mixing with native clay.

Quick examples: a single-car driveway (12 ft x 30 ft) at 2" depth needs about 2.2 cubic yards (roughly 3.1 tons); a small double-car driveway (20 ft x 40 ft) at 3" depth needs about 8.9 cubic yards (roughly 12.5 tons). To estimate, multiply area (sq ft) by depth (inches), divide by 324 to get cubic yards, then multiply by about 1.3–1.5 to convert to tons depending on the gravel type. Use Hello Gravel's material calculator or contact our team with exact dimensions for a precise recommendation.

Resurfacing a small driveway can run from a few hundred to a couple thousand dollars, while full installs with excavation, base work, and drainage can range from about $1,500 to $6,000 depending on size and complexity. Factors that affect price include site prep, drainage fixes, material choice, access, and local labor rates. We recommend getting 2–3 local quotes and sharing your Hello Gravel material estimate to compare apples to apples.

Gravel can perform well if the driveway or surface is properly graded and has a compacted base because it drains faster than many surfacing options. East Point's clay soils can hold water and cause washouts or rutting unless you add a robust base, geotextile fabric, and proper drainage like crowned surfaces or French drains. Expect some settling and routine maintenance after exceptional storms, but proper installation minimizes recurring problems.

Hello Gravel delivers to East Point when your zip code is in our service area; check availability on our site or contact our sales team. We require a 3-ton minimum, schedule delivery via the checkout calendar, and use local dump trucks (typically tri-axle) for drops. Standard delivery is 2+ business days, next-day is available for orders placed before noon CST for a fee, and drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion but it is not guaranteed.

Crushed stone provides excellent compaction and is the go-to for driveways and load-bearing areas in East Point. Pea gravel is smooth and attractive for pathways or decorative uses but shifts under vehicle loads and in wet clay soils. Recycled concrete is often cheaper and compacts well for driveways and fill, but it can vary in color and may contain fines or small debris; choose based on budget and desired performance.

Plan to regrade and add top material every 1–3 years depending on traffic, drainage, and weather; heavy rains and clay soils accelerate maintenance needs. Typical annual upkeep for a homeowner (regrading and adding 1–3 tons) often runs about $100–$500 for materials and basic labor if DIY, while contractor maintenance or larger repairs can cost more. Regular trimming, grading, and keeping drainage clear will reduce long-term costs.

Some East Point neighborhoods and HOAs have rules about surface materials, curb cuts, drainage, and appearance, so check your HOA covenants before ordering gravel. The City of East Point may have requirements related to stormwater, curb modifications, or zoning for certain projects; contact city planning to confirm whether a permit or inspection is needed. When in doubt, check both city code and your HOA and save any approvals before scheduling delivery.

For French drains use clean, washed drain rock (typically 1/2" to 1") to allow good flow while keeping fines out of the pipe. For parking pads and durable drive surfaces, 3/4" crushed stone or a layered approach with crusher run base and a crushed stone driving surface works best in clay soils. For pathways, choose pea gravel or decomposed granite for appearance, or crushed stone for a firmer walking surface; add edging and a geotextile to reduce migration into the native soil.

Dump trucks need clear access and usually require 10–20 ft of turning and dumping space; if access is tight, plan to have material dumped at the curb and moved by wheelbarrow or small equipment. Add special instructions in your Hello Gravel order notes about gates, low branches, or staging areas, and contact our team if you need advice on smaller loads, pickup options, or tailgate spreading. Consider compacting each lift and ordering slightly more than calculated to allow for settling and waste during placement.

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