Gravel in Leslie, GA

Delivery cost depends on distance, order size, and local supplier rates; in the Leslie area bulk delivery fees commonly range from no extra fee up to about $150 for longer short-haul runs. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order, standard delivery is 2+ business days and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Exact delivery pricing appears at checkout after you enter your zip code.

Typical options around West Georgia include pea gravel (decorative, rounded) at roughly $30–$60/ton, crushed stone (angular, good for driveways) at about $20–$45/ton, crusher run (mixed fines for base) around $15–$35/ton, and river rock (larger, decorative) from $40–$100/ton. Prices vary with supplier, truck haul distance, and seasonal demand, so check the exact quote in the Hello Gravel checkout for local rates.

Leslie sits in a hot-humid, clay-dominated region, so poor drainage and rutting are common if you skip proper base work; use a compacted crushed-stone base (crusher run or base rock) and a wearing course of angular stone for driveways to lock the surface. Add a slight crown, positive drainage swales, and consider geotextile fabric to separate clay from stone; these measures reduce washouts after heavy rain and limit weed growth.

Using 1.4 tons per cubic yard as an estimate, a 1-car/10x20 (200 sq ft) area needs about 1.7 tons at 2", 2.6 tons at 3", and 3.5 tons at 4". A 2-car/20x20 (400 sq ft) needs about 3.5 tons at 2", 5.2 tons at 3", and 6.9 tons at 4". Since Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons, many small 2" or 3" jobs will meet the minimum, but plan top-ups or slightly increase depth to efficiently use the minimum.

Hello Gravel connects you with local quarries, landscape supply yards, and hauling contractors that serve the Leslie area; enter your zip code on our site to see the specific suppliers available to you. If you need on-site installation, ask suppliers in the checkout notes or call our team for recommendations; availability depends on regional sourcing and proximity to larger aggregate operations.

Labor and equipment to prepare and install a gravel driveway typically range widely based on site condition, but many homeowners in rural West Georgia pay about $1,000–$3,500 for site prep, grading, base placement, and spreading for a standard one- or two-car drive. Expect higher costs if heavy clearing, tree removal, drainage structures, or extensive compaction are needed, and contractor rates for equipment operators often run $75–$150 per hour depending on the crew and machinery.

In hot-humid Leslie, plan light maintenance (raking, filling low spots) once or twice a year and a top-up of surface stone every 1–3 years depending on traffic and storm exposure. With proper drainage and base construction, a gravel driveway can function well for 5–15 years before a major rebuild is needed; heavy truck traffic, poor drainage, or no compaction will shorten that lifespan.

For erosion control on slopes, contractors commonly use angular crushed stone (1/2"–1 1/2" sizes), riprap for concentrated flows, and geotextile fabric to stabilize soil. For septic and leach field projects, clean, washed stone specified by the local health department is required; always check county regulations before buying and let Hello Gravel know the spec so we can connect you with compliant material.

Permit and HOA requirements vary; some small towns or neighborhoods require a driveway permit or have rules about materials and curb cuts, while rural properties may have fewer restrictions. Before ordering, contact Pike County or the Town of Leslie planning department and review any HOA covenants to confirm allowed materials and setback or drainage requirements.

Crushed stone generally performs best for driveways because its angular particles interlock and compact, resisting rutting and washouts common in Georgia's rainy climate. Pea gravel and river rock are attractive for patios and low-traffic areas and drain well, but they shift and scatter under vehicle traffic and are harder to maintain on slopes, so use them where aesthetics and drainage are priorities rather than vehicle stability.

Typical delivery is by dump truck (often tri-axle) and drivers will drop material where accessible; you can request tailgate spreading at checkout but drivers perform spreading only at their discretion for safety and liability reasons. To avoid problems, clear a straight access path for the truck, mark any fragile landscaping, and note preferred placement in Order Notes so your local hauler can plan the drop.

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.
