Gravel in Fort Oglethorpe, GA

Prices vary by type and supplier, but in the Fort Oglethorpe area expect common crushed gravel to run roughly $30 to $60 per ton and decorative pea gravel or washed stone $40 to $80 per ton. Final price depends on the exact product, regional availability, and delivery distance; Hello Gravel can provide an exact quote for your zip code. Remember our minimum order is 3 tons and delivery fees or truck type can affect the total cost.

One ton of pea gravel typically covers about 100 to 120 square feet at a 2-inch depth, though exact coverage depends on rock size and compaction. If you want a thinner 1-inch finish layer, one ton can cover roughly 200 to 240 square feet. For precise planning, answer the area and desired depth when requesting a quote.

A 10x10 area is 100 square feet. At a common 2-inch depth you would need about 0.8 to 1 ton of pea gravel; at 3 inches plan on about 1.2 to 1.5 tons. Because Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum for delivered bulk loads, consider buying 3 tons or purchasing bagged material locally for smaller jobs.

Assuming a common 10-foot driveway width (1,000 sq ft), you would need about 8 to 9 tons for a 2-inch top layer, about 16 to 18 tons for 4 inches, and about 24 to 27 tons for 6 inches. If you need a compacted base (recommended), plan on 4 to 6 inches of crushed stone for the base plus a few inches of finish gravel on top. Local soil conditions in Fort Oglethorpe can change these numbers, so measure your width and depth before ordering.

For a finished wearing layer, 2 inches can be fine for light-use or topping an existing well-compacted base, but it is not enough for a new driveway foundation. In Fort Oglethorpe's region—where clay soils and slope can affect drainage—we recommend 4 to 6 inches of compacted crushed stone for the base for a durable driveway. Use 2 to 3 inches of pea gravel or crusher-run as a finish layer only.

A common, durable base is 4 to 6 inches of compacted crushed stone or 2A modified (crusher run) laid over a geotextile fabric on unstable soils. For finishing, 2 to 3 inches of 3/4" crushed stone or pea gravel can be added for appearance and traction. Fort Oglethorpe's local geology and drainage make proper compaction and slope management especially important—consider a contractor or Hello Gravel’s guidance for larger jobs.

Costs depend on truck size, material, and delivery distance; a typical tri-axle dump truck carries about 10 to 14 tons and you can estimate total cost by multiplying the per-ton price by the truckload tonnage. For example, at $45/ton a 12-ton load would be about $540 plus any delivery fee. The best way to get a firm price for Fort Oglethorpe is to request a Hello Gravel quote—our checkout shows delivery options and estimated fees for your address.

A 7x14 dump trailer's capacity depends on side wall height, but with 2-foot sides it holds about 196 cubic feet (roughly 7.3 cubic yards); at typical gravel weight that equals roughly 9 to 11 tons. By contrast, Hello Gravel’s common tri-axle dump trucks usually deliver about 10 to 14 tons per load depending on material. If you are comparing delivery vs. renting a trailer, check the truck capacity, local road access, and the minimum order (Hello Gravel minimum 3 tons).

Fort Oglethorpe sits in northwest Georgia where clay soils and seasonal heavy rain can reduce drainage and cause settling if you don’t build a firm base. Choose angular crushed stone for base layers (better compaction) and use geotextile fabric where drainage or frost-heave is a concern; finish layers can be rounded pea gravel for appearance and drainage. Tell Hello Gravel about your site conditions when ordering so we can suggest appropriate materials and depths.
