Gravel in Greensboro, GA

Common types you will see locally include pea gravel (rounded, decorative, good for patios, paths, and playgrounds), #57 crushed stone (angular, 3/4" size, great for driveways and drainage), 3/4" crushed stone (similar to #57, used as a base or top layer), and screenings or stone dust (fine particles used for compacting as a base or for paver joints). Suppliers in West Georgia may offer regional mixes that combine sizes for better compaction or erosion control, so check product notes when ordering.

Greensboro and Greene County have clay-rich soils and hot, humid summers with heavy seasonal rains, which can hold water and cause rutting if drainage is poor. For driveways, use a compacted base of larger crushed stone (3/4" or #2) topped with #57 or a crushed mix; add geotextile fabric and proper grading to promote drainage and reduce mixing with clay. Avoid only using pea gravel for driveways because rounded stones shift more easily on clay.

A quick rule using a typical gravel density of about 1.4 tons per cubic yard gives these estimates: 2 inches = about 6.2 cubic yards or ~8.7 tons; 3 inches = about 9.3 cubic yards or ~13.0 tons; 4 inches = about 12.3 cubic yards or ~17.3 tons. Contractors often calculate in cubic yards and then multiply by a local tons/yard factor because weight varies by material; request a supplier quote to confirm.

Hello Gravel typically requires a 3-ton minimum order and delivers by contracted dump truck fleets (often tri-axle). Standard delivery takes 2+ business days with free delivery in many areas, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee; tailgate spreading may be requested at checkout but is at the driver's discretion. Delivery fees or access restrictions can apply based on location, driveway access, or distance from local suppliers, so check your quote during checkout.

Local prices vary by material, supplier, and load size; a typical regional range you might see is roughly $25-$60 per ton depending on type (pea gravel and specialty color blends at the higher end, screenings and basic crushed stone at the lower end). Because prices change with fuel, local supply, and seasonal demand, the best approach is to get an exact Hello Gravel quote for your zip code and material selection.

Permit and HOA rules vary by lot and neighborhood; Greene County or the City of Greensboro may require permits when changing driveway size, location, or impervious surface coverage. Always check with the Greene County planning or building department and your HOA before starting work to confirm any setback, drainage, or surface requirements.

For slopes and erosion control, contractors in West Georgia commonly use angular crushed stone mixes with a proportion of fines (stone dust or screenings) to help bind the surface, often combined with a coarser base layer and geotextile fabric. For steeper or high-flow areas, pair stone with vegetative measures, retaining features, or riprap in concentrated runoff channels to reduce erosion during heavy rains.

Homeowners in Georgia typically top up driveways every 1-3 years depending on traffic, drainage, and initial construction quality; heavily used or poorly drained drives may need fill more often. Best practices to extend life include building a compacted base, using geotextile fabric where soil is poor, maintaining positive drainage, periodic grading to fill ruts, and adding fresh gravel in low spots rather than just scattering new stone on top.

Local contractors usually measure area in square feet, choose the target compacted depth, convert to cubic yards (area x depth / 27), then use a local tons-per-cubic-yard factor to order tons. They often order slightly more (5-10% extra) to account for compaction, waste, and grading, and will confirm delivery access so trucks can place material where needed.

Check your zip code to confirm local supplier availability and note any delivery access issues in Order Notes (gate codes, overhead wires, soft ground). Use Hello Gravel's material calculator and pick a delivery date that allows time for grading and compaction, and call customer support if you need help selecting a local-appropriate material or requesting tailgate spreading.

We cannot get out of the truck and manually spread it. However, depending on the location, safety, and comfortability of the driver – we may be able to tailgate spread your material. 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.
