For Lizella’s humid climate and clay subsoils, crushed stone with angular edges (like #57 or crushed limestone) usually performs better than smooth pea gravel because it locks together and resists rutting. A layered approach with a compacted base (crusher-run or 3/4" minus) topped with #57 or 3/8" stone provides better drainage and stability. Pea gravel is fine for low-traffic or decorative areas but can migrate and sink faster on clay unless a proper base and edging are used.

Use this guide assuming 1.35 tons per cubic yard and add 10% for compaction and waste. A 20x20 driveway (400 sq ft) needs about 5 tons at 3" depth or ~7 tons at 4" depth (order 6 to 8 tons after the 10% buffer). A 12x40 driveway (480 sq ft) needs about 6 tons at 3" depth or ~8 tons at 4" depth (order about 7 to 9 tons with the buffer). Minimum orders start at 3 tons, so small projects may still meet that threshold.

Permit and HOA rules vary by city, county, and neighborhood; Lizella homeowners should check with their local planning or zoning office and any HOA documents before installing or expanding a gravel driveway. Some counties or HOAs have rules about surface materials, drainage, or setbacks, so get approval if required. If you're unsure, Hello Gravel's team can help point you toward local contacts to confirm requirements.

Lizella’s heavy summer rains and humid climate can accelerate rutting, washout, and migration of loose gravel, especially where the subgrade is clay or poorly drained. Good drainage design—crowned drives, swales, and solid base layers—reduces standing water and erosion. Inspect your driveway after big storms and plan for touch-ups or regrading where runoff concentrates.

Use a compacted base layer (crusher-run or 3/4" minus), install geotextile fabric where subgrade is weak, and add edge restraints (timber, stone, or concrete) to keep material contained. For higher-traffic driveways, consider a thicker compacted base (4" to 8") topped with angular surface stone and mechanical compaction. These measures are especially helpful on clay soils and slopes common in West Georgia.

Frequency depends on traffic and drainage: many Lizella homeowners need to add or regrade gravel every 2 to 4 years under normal use, with higher-traffic or poorly drained sites needing attention more often. Check after heavy rain events and regrade low spots, ruts, and washed areas as needed. Regular maintenance helps avoid larger repairs and keeps drainage working properly.

Gravel typically has the lowest upfront cost and is the easiest to repair, but it requires periodic maintenance and regrading. Asphalt offers a smoother surface and lower maintenance than gravel but costs more up front and requires periodic sealing and eventual resurfacing. Concrete has the highest initial cost and longest expected life but is less forgiving on clay subgrades and can crack; choose based on budget, desired appearance, and long-term maintenance preferences.

Hello Gravel can help connect you with local suppliers and may point to installers in West Georgia, but contractor availability and specialties vary by area. Labor and equipment costs depend on site prep, base depth, hauling distance, and access; for basic driveway prep and gravel installation you might see a wide range of estimates, so get multiple quotes. Ask prospective contractors for references, equipment lists, and a written scope of work before hiring.
