Hello Gravel partners with local suppliers throughout West Georgia who deliver to Georgetown; typical residential minimums are 3 tons, which aligns with our platform minimum order. Deliveries are usually by tri-axle dump truck and most suppliers serve a 20 to 50-mile radius from their yard, though exact delivery distance and fees vary by supplier. Check availability by entering your zip code on our site or contact our sales team for supplier-specific minimums and delivery zones.

For Georgetown's clay-prone subgrade and humid subtropical climate, angular, interlocking materials perform best: crusher run or 3/4" minus crushed stone are good base choices, and a layer of #57 or 3/4" crushed stone works well as a wearing surface. Avoid only smooth river rock for a driveway surface because it can shift and rut on clay; pea gravel can be used for light-traffic areas if stabilized with edging and a firm base.

A 12 ft x 50 ft driveway is 600 sq ft. For a single 4" layer you will need about 7.4 cubic yards (around 9 to 10 tons); for a 6" base (recommended for clay soils) you will need about 11.1 cubic yards (roughly 14 to 15 tons). If you plan a layered build (4" compacted base plus 2" wearing layer), add both quantities together when ordering.

Rules vary by municipality and HOA, so check with Georgetown city hall, Quitman County (if applicable), and any HOA before installation. Common requirements include driveway permits, standards for curb cuts and apron work, and limits on impervious surface or front-yard materials in some HOAs. If in doubt, request guidance from your local planning or public works office and keep copies of approvals before delivery.

On Georgetown's clay soils, start with proper subgrade preparation: remove organic topsoil, add a geotextile fabric where needed, and install a compacted crushed stone base of 4 to 6 inches. Provide positive drainage with a crowned driveway center, edge restraints, and driveway culverts or driveway pipes where ditches cross, and use larger stone in areas with concentrated flow to reduce erosion.

With correct base preparation and regular care, a gravel driveway in Georgetown typically performs well for 5 to 15 years before major rework is needed. Expect periodic maintenance such as annual light grading, topping up stone every 2 to 5 years, and weed control; heavier rainfall seasons may require more frequent attention to ruts and drainage repairs. Good maintenance greatly extends useful life and reduces long-term cost.

Gravel has a lower upfront cost—roughly $1 to $3 per sq ft installed—compared with asphalt ($3 to $6 per sq ft) and concrete ($4 to $8 per sq ft), but it requires more ongoing maintenance like grading and topping. Gravel drains well and is easier to repair, while asphalt and concrete offer smoother surfaces and longer intervals between major work. Consider budget, desired appearance, and how much maintenance you are willing to do when choosing.

Hello Gravel commonly uses tri-axle dump trucks for residential deliveries; these typically carry 10 to 14 tons and require reasonable driveway access and turning radius. For tight access, suppliers may use smaller rear-dump or transfer-truck configurations and smaller equipment like skid steers or mini-excavators for spreading. Tell us about tight gates, low-hanging wires, or narrow turns in the order notes so the supplier can plan the right truck and equipment.

Yes, crushed recycled aggregate is commonly available in West Georgia and is often a more budget-friendly option than natural river rock. Recycled crushed stone is angular and locks in place well, making it a good base material, while natural river gravel is smoother and may move more under traffic but is preferred for decorative uses. Ask your supplier about gradation and cleanliness; recycled material performance can vary depending on the source and processing.

Because Hello Gravel sources regionally, texture and color can vary from photos; if appearance matters, include color or texture preferences in the Order Notes and request a supplier confirmation before delivery. We recommend ordering a small sample or a single trailer load first for larger decorative projects, and our team can help match materials where possible. If the delivered material differs significantly from your expectations, contact customer service promptly to discuss options.
