Gravel in Homer, GA

Costs vary by material, quantity, and supplier, but expect to pay for material per ton plus any delivery fee; Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum. In many West Georgia areas delivery is free or modest for nearby runs, while tailgate spreading (if available) is a separate, discretionary service and may incur a fee—ask at checkout. Contact our team or check your zip code for an exact quote and available delivery windows.

For driveways in clay soils, crushed stone with angular edges (for example 3/4" crushed stone or 3/4" down) provides good compaction and load-bearing. For patios and lounging areas, pea gravel or small river rock gives a softer, finished look but performs worse on steep or clay substrates unless you install a firm base and edging. Because local material appearance and gradation vary, add color or size preferences in Order Notes and ask our team for a local recommendation.

Estimate volume in cubic yards (length x width x depth in feet, divided by 27), then multiply by about 1.4 to convert to tons for most gravel. Example: a 12' x 40' driveway at 4" depth is ~5.9 cubic yards, or about 8.3 tons (5.9 x 1.4). Always round up for compaction and waste and remember Hello Gravel’s 3-ton minimum.

Homer’s clay soils and frequent heavy rains can cause rutting, washouts, and settling, especially where drainage is poor. Regular maintenance—regrading, adding fresh gravel, and keeping surface pitch for runoff—helps; expect touch-ups every 1–3 years depending on use. Installing a proper base, geotextile, and edge restraints reduces issues from wet weather and freeze/thaw cycles.

Same-day delivery is occasionally available from nearby suppliers but depends on local inventory and truck scheduling; it is not guaranteed. Hello Gravel’s minimum order is 3 tons, standard delivery is 2+ business days, and next-day delivery is often available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee—check your zip code for live availability and scheduling options.

Many rural properties in Banks County do not require a permit for a private gravel driveway, but local rules and HOA covenants can vary widely. Before you order material, check with Banks County permitting and any HOA or deed restrictions for your property to avoid rework. If you need documentation for a permit, our team can help provide material descriptions and delivery details.

Gravel has a lower upfront cost and is quick to install, but requires regular maintenance like grading and topping up every few years; it’s a cost-effective choice for low-traffic rural drives. Asphalt costs more upfront and lasts longer with less frequent maintenance (typically 10–20 years between overlays), so it can be cheaper over a long horizon if traffic is higher. Consider usage, budget, and drainage: in clay soils you may need a stronger base for either surface to perform well.

For clay-rich soils, contractors typically recommend a compacted structural base of 6–8" of crushed stone (clean angular rock) over geotextile fabric to separate soil from stone, with a 2–3" surface layer of finished gravel. For heavier vehicles or poor subgrade, increase the base to 8–10" and include proper drainage like crowns or side ditches. Good compaction and edge restraints are important in Homer’s wet seasons to reduce lateral movement and washouts.

As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

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.
