Gravel in Manchester, GA

Prices vary by type and supplier, but in West Georgia expect roughly $25 to $60 per ton for common gravels delivered to Manchester. Final cost depends on material (pea gravel, crushed stone, crusher run), local availability, and delivery distance; Hello Gravel can provide an exact quote for your zip code and notes that minimum orders start at 3 tons.

Yes—crushed gravel is a common, durable driveway surface when installed with the right base and compaction. For Manchester's clay soils and summer rains, use a compacted subbase, geotextile where needed, and 4 to 6 inches of compacted crushed gravel for passenger cars (6 to 8 inches for heavier loads).

Gravel is often used as a low-maintenance mulch alternative for beds and pathways because it improves drainage and lasts longer than organic mulch. Be aware it can retain heat, may not be ideal for acid-loving plants, and you should install a weed barrier and edging to keep gravel contained on Manchester properties.

Truckload costs depend on truck size, material type, and haul distance; typical local ranges are about $300 to $1,000 for a delivered load in West Georgia. Hello Gravel partners with local haulers using tri-axle trucks and can give a specific price and truck size after you enter your address and material choice.

Coverage depends on depth and stone size, but as a rule of thumb one ton of gravel will cover roughly 80 to 100 square feet at a 2-inch depth and about 40 to 50 square feet at a 4-inch depth. Actual coverage can vary by stone shape and moisture, so measure your area and check with Hello Gravel's calculator for precise ordering.

No, 2 inches is generally too thin for a driveway except as a light top dressing. For a stable, long-lasting driveway in Manchester's climate and soils, plan on 4 to 6 inches of compacted gravel over a prepared base, with thicker sections where vehicles turn or carry heavy loads.

Gravel mixes with fine particles, such as crusher run or dense grade aggregate (DGA), compact very tightly and form a firm surface that resists shifting. These materials can approach a solid-feeling surface when properly installed and compacted, but they are not as strong as poured concrete and may still move over time without proper edge restraint and base preparation.

A 50 lb bag of pea gravel covers only a small area—roughly 1 to 2 square feet at a 2-inch depth, depending on stone size and how tightly it is packed. For lawns, driveways, or larger beds in Manchester it is usually more economical to order bulk by the ton rather than many small bags.

Start with grading and compacting the soil, then install geotextile fabric if you want weed control and separation from clay soils common in West Georgia. Add a compacted base layer of crushed stone or crusher run (2 to 4 inches or more depending on use), then place your top gravel and compact; this helps drainage and prevents rutting after heavy rains.

Costs vary by width, depth, material choice, and prep work, but a simple 20-foot long driveway (for example 12 feet wide) with a 4-inch compacted gravel surface might run roughly $300 to $1,200 in Manchester when you account for material and delivery. Site prep, grading, drainage work, and order minimums can raise the price, so get a tailored quote from Hello Gravel for an accurate total.

The rule of three is a design principle that groups elements in threes to create visual balance and interest; with gravel, use three sizes, three colors, or three planted focal points to avoid a flat look. In Manchester landscapes you can pair a gravel path, a larger gravel seating area, and placed planters or boulders to create layered, balanced compositions.

Measure the area in square feet and decide on the desired depth in inches, then use this formula to get cubic yards: (area in sq ft * depth in inches) / 324. Convert cubic yards to tons using local material density or use Hello Gravel's online calculator and enter your Manchester address to get a recommended tonnage and a delivery quote (remember minimum orders start at 3 tons).

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.
