Gravel in Fairburn, GA

Delivered price varies by material and supplier, but expect roughly $30 to $60 per ton for standard gravel in the Fairburn area. Pea gravel and specialty blends typically cost more, often $40 to $80 per ton. Final price depends on order size, local availability, and your zip code—get an online quote or call our team to see current rates.

A full tri-axle dump truck commonly carries about 10 to 14 tons of gravel, so multiply the per-ton price by that tonnage to estimate cost. For example, at $40 per ton a 12-ton load would be about $480 delivered; actual totals vary by material and delivery details. We recommend getting a quote through our site because truck capacity, local supply, and haul distances affect final pricing.

A 100 ft by 12 ft driveway is 1,200 sq ft. At 2 inches deep you will need about 10 tons; at 4 inches you will need about 20 tons. Add 5-10% extra for compaction, settling, and grading, and remember our minimum order is 3 tons.

One ton of typical gravel covers roughly 120 sq ft at 2 inches and about 60 sq ft at 4 inches. One cubic yard is about 27 cubic feet, roughly 1.35 tons, and will cover about 162 sq ft at 2 inches (or about 81 sq ft at 4 inches). These are practical estimates; exact coverage varies with stone size and compaction.

Two inches is usually too thin for a driveway in Fairburn because local clay soils and frequent rain can lead to rutting and poor drainage. For light passenger vehicles, 3 to 4 inches compacted over a firm subbase is a better minimum; for trucks or heavy use, consider a 6-inch base with a 2-4 inch wearing layer. Also consider a geotextile fabric and proper drainage for longer-lasting results.

One cubic yard is 27 cubic feet. With a typical 3-cubic-foot wheelbarrow you should plan on about 9 wheelbarrow trips per cubic yard; if your wheelbarrow is smaller (2 cu ft), plan 13–14 trips. Factor in extra time for grading and compaction when estimating labor.

Pea gravel is usually priced higher than standard crushed stone because of extra sorting and demand; expect roughly $10 to $30 more per ton in many cases. Exact differences depend on local suppliers and color/finish choices, so request a side-by-side quote for the materials you are comparing. Keep in mind pea gravel is heavier to spread by hand, which can add labor cost.

Standard delivery is 2+ business days; next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Same-day delivery is not commonly offered. Delivery fees depend on your zip code, supplier, and order size—many orders qualify for free delivery, but we recommend checking your zip code or requesting a quote online to see exact fees.

Installation costs vary with site prep, base depth, material choice, and access, but typical total costs for a 100 ft x 12 ft driveway (including materials, delivery, spreading, and compaction) often fall in the $1,500 to $4,000 range. Per-square-foot estimates commonly run about $2 to $6, but heavy excavation or poor soils can raise that amount. For an accurate price, get local contractor bids and factor in material quotes from our site.

This involves pulling the truck forward as material is being dumped to make it easier for you to distribute material after delivery.

The minimum order size is 3 tons.
