Decorative Stone & Rock in Lawrenceville, GA

Prices vary by stone type, color, and availability, but decorative stone in Georgia typically ranges from about $35 to $100 per ton. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order and delivery or next-day fees may apply; check your zip code on our site for an exact quote for Lawrenceville.

Pick stone by purpose (path, driveway, mulch, accent), size (pea gravel vs 3/4" crushed), and color to match your home and plants. Consider angular crushed stone for stability, rounded river rock for accents, and local climate: Lawrenceville summers and heavy rains mean you should prioritize drainage and compaction where needed.

One ton of decorative stone is roughly 0.7 cubic yards and will cover about 227 sq ft at a 1" depth, about 113 sq ft at 2", and about 75 sq ft at 3". Use the depth you need for the project (1" for top dressing, 2" for pathways, 4"+ for driveways) and round up to allow for settling.

For small landscape beds and accents, you can place decorative stone over compacted dirt with a weed barrier and 2-3" of stone. For walkways or driveways serving vehicles, prepare a compacted base of crushed stone (typically 4-6"), add geotextile fabric if drainage is poor, and grade for runoff—Lawrenceville's summer storms make good drainage important.

A typical tri-axle dump truck used by our suppliers holds about 10-12 tons of loose decorative stone, though capacities vary by truck and material. Cost equals the per-ton price times the tons plus delivery; because Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum, contact us for a zip-code-specific quote and to confirm access for a full truckload.

Light-colored stone reflects heat and helps keep surrounding soil and plants cooler, while darker stone absorbs heat and can accentuate colors. Choose a color that complements your house and plantings and expect natural fading and some color variation because local suppliers source regionally.

Costs depend on width, depth, and stone type. Example: a 20 ft by 10 ft driveway at 4" depth needs about 3.5 tons of stone; at $40-$80 per ton that equals roughly $140-$280 for materials plus delivery and optional spreading—request a site-specific quote from Hello Gravel for accurate pricing.

Yes. Materials reflect local geology, so suppliers around Lawrenceville commonly offer granite, crushed stone, river rock, and mixed decorative blends with earth tones and grays. If you have a color or texture preference, add it to your order notes and we will try to match regional availability.

Properly installed decorative stone can improve surface drainage and reduce erosion when paired with the right base, slope, and edging. For low spots or areas with heavy runoff, combine stone with a permeable base layer or a subsurface drain to keep water away from foundations and plantings.

Possibly. Lawrenceville neighborhoods and HOAs may have rules about front-yard materials, colors, and coverage area. Check local city codes and your HOA guidelines before ordering to avoid rework, and save order notes for specific product approvals if required.

Maintenance is low but ongoing: remove leaves and debris, pull or treat occasional weeds, rake to keep an even surface, and top up stone after heavy storms or annual settling. In humid Lawrenceville summers, organic debris breaks down faster, so more frequent cleanup keeps the stone looking fresh.

Lawrenceville is generally in USDA hardiness zone 7b (some microclimates reach 8a), which mainly affects plant selection rather than the stone itself. Still, choose stone color and size with local plantings and sun exposure in mind—lighter stone can reduce heat stress on plants in hot summer sun.

This involves pulling the truck forward as material is being dumped to make it easier for you to distribute material after delivery.
