You can in low-traffic areas, but it is not recommended for driveways or places with poor drainage. In Garden City’s clay-prone soils, add a compacted base and a geotextile fabric to prevent mixing and settling and to reduce weed growth.

Yes—remove organic topsoil and any loose material, grade the area, and compact the subgrade for best results. For driveways or heavy loads remove more depth and install a crushed stone base to provide stability and prevent rutting.

Start with a compacted subgrade, then a layer of crushed stone (3/4" minus or similar) for structural support, and consider a geotextile fabric between soil and stone to limit mixing and weeds. Finish with your chosen gravel surface and install edging to keep material contained; this is especially important in Garden City’s wet periods.

As a rule of thumb, 1 ton of typical landscape gravel covers about 100 sq ft at 1 inch depth. Coverage changes with stone type and density; for planning, estimate roughly 100 sq ft at 1", 33 sq ft at 3", and 16 sq ft at 6", and use Hello Gravel’s calculator for precise quantities.

Cost depends on truck size, material type, and delivery distance. A common tri-axle dump truck carries roughly 10–12 tons and material-plus-delivery for a full truckload in West Georgia often ranges from a few hundred to over a thousand dollars; get a quote from Hello Gravel for an accurate price for your address.

Yes for driveways and low spots you should plan drainage. Because Garden City can see heavy summer storms, provide slope away from structures, a well-compacted base, and where necessary a sub-base layer or perforated pipe to prevent standing water and washout.

Weeds can emerge through gravel from seed or persistent roots. Preventive steps include laying geotextile fabric, applying a weed barrier or pre-emergent herbicide before installation, using adequate depth (2–3 inches for paths, more for driveways), and routine maintenance like spot pulling or herbicide treatment.

Most landscape gravel sold in Garden City is already clean enough for landscape use and does not need washing. Wash gravel if it will be used for masonry, exposed decorative areas where a pristine look is needed, or if dust/dirt is a concern—note your preference in Order Notes at checkout.

Common mistakes include skipping proper subgrade preparation, using too little depth, choosing the wrong type of gravel for the application, neglecting edging, and ignoring drainage. Planning for local soil conditions, ordering correct quantities, and following installation basics will avoid most problems.

Costs vary by length, depth, prep work, and material choice. For a typical 20 ft wide driveway, material-only costs might run from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars depending on length and depth, while full installation including prep and compaction can range more widely; request a quote from Hello Gravel with your driveway dimensions for a precise estimate.

You can for low-use garden paths if you properly prepare the ground: remove topsoil, compact the surface, add a thin crushed-stone base and fabric, then install the gravel surface. This approach helps prevent sinking and mixing with Garden City’s native soils and extends the life of the path.
