Gravel in mcintyre, GA

Prices vary by supplier, distance, and material, but delivered gravel in West Georgia commonly runs in the range of about $30 to $70 per ton. Tailgate spreading, when available, is often charged separately (either a flat fee of about $50 to $200 or $10 to $30 per ton) and rural delivery may add haul or fuel surcharges.

Local suppliers for McIntyre are usually regional quarries, landscape supply yards, and trucking companies serving Wilkinson County and nearby counties. Minimum order sizes commonly start at 3 tons (which aligns with Hello Gravel's minimum order), though some suppliers may have higher minimums for specialized stone or for long-haul deliveries. Use Hello Gravel to check available suppliers in your zip code and see each supplier's minimum order and material photos.

For clay soils in West Georgia, a layered approach works best: start with a compacted base of larger crushed stone (1-2 inch) and finish with a 3/4" crushed stone or crushed limestone topcoat. Crushed stone with fines locks together better than pea gravel on clay and provides a more stable, grippable surface. Adding a geotextile fabric or stabilization grid under the base can further reduce sinking and rutting on clay sites.

For a typical 2-car driveway in McIntyre, aim for 8 to 12 inches total: 4 to 6 inches of compacted base stone (1-2"), plus 2 to 3 inches of compacted surface stone (3/4" or #57). Proper base preparation includes removing topsoil, grading for drainage, installing edge restraints if possible, and compacting each layer with a plate compactor or roller until firm. Because McIntyre has heavy summer rains and clay subgrade, err on the thicker side and prioritize good drainage to extend life and reduce maintenance.

Use this quick conversion: tons = (square feet x depth in inches) / 324. For 12x24 (288 sq ft): about 2.7 tons at 3" depth or 5.3 tons at 6" depth. For 10x30 (300 sq ft): about 2.8 tons at 3" depth or 5.6 tons at 6" depth. Remember Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons, so for thin topdressings you may need to buy more to meet the minimum.

Rural delivery fees can include long-haul charges for suppliers outside your immediate area, fuel surcharges, quarry tipping fees, and small-quantity or access fees if the truck cannot dump safely at the driveway. Typical additional fees vary widely but often fall in the $25 to $150 range depending on distance and site conditions. We recommend adding your exact address at checkout or calling our team so we can surface any known rural fees before you confirm your order.

A properly built gravel driveway in McIntyre can function well for 10 to 20 years, but it requires routine maintenance to reach the upper end of that range. Expect to regrade and add new surface stone every 1 to 3 years, fill potholes after heavy storms, and keep drainage ditches and culverts clear. Regular small repairs are normal for gravel and far less expensive than full replacement when caught early.

Gravel typically has the lowest initial cost but moderate ongoing maintenance costs; for a standard 2-car driveway gravel initial install might range roughly $1,000 to $4,000 depending on depth and stone, with periodic topping over 10 years. Asphalt has higher upfront costs (often $4,000 to $8,000) plus sealcoating and patching over time. Concrete is more expensive initially ($6,000 to $12,000) but needs less frequent repairs, while pavers have the highest upfront cost ($10,000 to $20,000) and occasional maintenance like joint sand replacement. Local prices vary, so get site-specific quotes from Hello Gravel and local contractors to compare total 10-year costs.

Yes, geotextile fabric and plastic or honeycomb gravel grids can be very effective on sloped or clay sites around McIntyre by preventing fines from migrating and distributing loads to reduce rutting. These products are commonly available from regional landscape suppliers and through Hello Gravel's supplier network, though they add to material and installation cost. For best results combine stabilization products with a well-drained, properly compacted base and consult with a local contractor about the right product for your slope and soil type.

Permitting and HOA rules vary. Wilkinson County is largely rural and often permits gravel driveways, but some areas or subdivisions may have specific standards or HOA restrictions about surface material, width, or appearance. Before ordering, check with the Wilkinson County zoning or building office and review any HOA rules for your property; Hello Gravel can still provide material quotes while you confirm local requirements.
