Gravel in Lawrenceville, GA

In the Lawrenceville/Atlanta area, bulk driveway-type gravel typically ranges about $18 to $45 per ton delivered, depending on material and distance. Finer decorative gravels like pea gravel or colored stone can be at the higher end, while basic crushed stone or road base is at the lower end. Exact delivered price depends on your zip code, order size, and site access—check your zip code on our site for an accurate quote.

Assuming a 20 ft long by 10 ft wide driveway (200 sq ft), you need about 1.7 tons for 2", 2.6 tons for 3", and 3.5 tons for 4" when using typical crushed stone (using a conversion of about 1.4 tons per cubic yard). These are approximate; densities vary by material and moisture. Note Hello Gravel minimum orders start at 3 tons, so you may need to round up to meet minimums.

For a 20 ft by 10 ft driveway (200 sq ft), expect total installed costs roughly between $600 and $1,800 depending on labor rates and prep work. Material-only costs are usually low (often $50 to $150 for the gravel), but grading, base preparation, and compaction drive most of the price—contractor-installed jobs in the Atlanta/Lawrenceville area commonly run $3 to $7 per sq ft.

Most residential tri-axle dump trucks that serve Lawrenceville carry about 10 to 12 cubic yards, which equates to roughly 12 to 18 tons depending on material density.

Crushed stone (graded or 3/4" minus) is usually more cost-effective long term for driveways in Georgia because it locks together and compacts, providing a stable, low-maintenance surface. Pea gravel is often cheaper up front and attractive, but it shifts and migrates easily, increasing maintenance and the need for edging. For driveways where durability and low maintenance matter, we typically recommend crushed stone; use pea gravel only for decorative top layers or low-traffic areas.

Two inches is generally too thin for a durable driveway in Lawrenceville, especially over clayey subsoils and wet summers; plan for at least 3 to 4 inches of compacted top gravel over a properly prepared base. For most installations a compacted subbase of larger stone followed by a 3 to 4 inch surface layer of crushed stone gives better load-bearing and reduces rutting. If you expect heavy vehicles, consider a thicker base and consult a contractor about proper compaction and drainage.

One ton of typical crushed driveway gravel covers roughly 230 sq ft at 1" depth, about 115 sq ft at 2" depth, and about 77 sq ft at 3" depth. These figures assume an average density of about 1.4 tons per cubic yard and are approximate due to material variation and compaction. Use these numbers for planning, then round up to account for compaction and waste.

For Lawrenceville’s climate and clay-influenced soils, a dense, angular crushed stone such as 3/4" minus, 57 stone, or a compacted road base mix is recommended for the base and surface because it compacts well and sheds water. Use washed or decorative gravels like pea gravel only as a thin top layer or for low-traffic areas. Emphasize good drainage and a compacted subbase to combat wet summers and surface rutting.

Typical bulk price ranges in the Atlanta/Lawrenceville area are about $18 to $45 per ton, or roughly $25 to $60 per cubic yard, with variation from material type, order size, distance from quarry, and site accessibility.
