Gravel, Sand & Bulk Material Delivery in Mableton, GA

Start by matching function to material: think about drainage, load-bearing needs, and appearance. For most jobs in Mableton you can choose among gravel, sand, dirt, stone depending on whether you need drainage, a stable base, or a finished surface. Consider local climate and soil (West Georgia can have clay and heavy rains), and use our material quiz or contact our team for guidance.

A simple way to estimate is length x width x depth to get cubic yards, then convert to tons using the material density. For a 100 ft x 10 ft driveway at 2 inches deep you need about 6 to 7 cubic yards (roughly 8 to 12 tons depending on the material). If you plan a thicker base (3 to 4 inches) multiply accordingly and add 10% for compaction and waste.

Two inches can be enough for a finished surface layer on a well-prepared base, but it is usually too thin for the structural base itself. Most driveways use a compacted base layer and then a 2 to 4 inch surface layer of gravel, stone, or similar material. In Mableton's soils and rainfall patterns a stronger base and proper drainage will extend longevity.

Buying bulk by the ton or cubic yard is almost always more cost-effective for larger projects, while bags are convenient for very small jobs or retail locations. Hello Gravel has a minimum order (3 tons) and provides calculators to convert yards to tons for common materials like gravel, sand, dirt, and stone. Compare unit prices and factor in delivery when deciding.

Tri-axle dump trucks commonly used for delivery typically carry roughly 10 to 14 tons or about 10 to 12 cubic yards, but exact capacity varies by truck and material.

Remember minimum orders and any next-day delivery fees when budgeting.

For most landscaping uses apply mulch 2 to 4 inches deep to suppress weeds and retain moisture. Keep mulch a few inches away from tree trunks and plant stems to prevent moisture buildup and rot. Refresh thin or compacted areas annually and use more conservative depths near plants that prefer drier conditions.

Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion depending on access and safety, and you can request this service at checkout. This service is not guaranteed, and the driver will assess conditions on arrival to decide if spreading is possible. Plan for delivery that may involve a single dump and modest on-site redistribution by you or a hired crew.

Mableton and West Georgia have soils and rainfall patterns that favor good drainage and erosion control measures; that influences choices for base materials and surface layers. For wet areas choose materials and depths that promote runoff and avoid settling, and consider geotextile fabric or added base depth where clay soils are present. Our team can recommend material types and layering approaches that work well in the local climate.

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