Gravel in meigs, GA

Typical delivered gravel prices around Meigs vary by type and distance but generally fall in a range. Expect to see pricing commonly between $30 and $60 per ton, or roughly $40 to $80 per cubic yard, depending on whether you choose pea gravel, crushed stone, or specialty products. Conversion varies by material, but a good rule of thumb is about 1.2 to 1.4 tons per cubic yard. For exact pricing and any delivery fees, check your zip code on our site or contact Hello Gravel for local quotes.

Suppliers serving Meigs typically offer pea gravel, crushed stone (3/4" and 57 stone), crushed limestone, and decomposed granite; availability varies by supplier because materials are regionally sourced. Pea gravel and crushed stone are the most common choices for driveways and landscaping, while decomposed granite is popular for paths and patios. If you need a specific look or color, add notes at checkout and we will try to match local suppliers that carry it.

A common 2-car driveway dimension is 20 ft wide by 40 ft long (800 sq ft). For a 3" finished layer you will need about 7.5 cubic yards (roughly 9 to 10 tons); for a more durable 4" layer plan on about 10 cubic yards (around 12 to 13 tons). If your site has clay soils or poor drainage, you may want a thicker base (5" to 6"), which can increase quantities to about 15 to 20 tons.

Meigs and West Georgia commonly have clay-rich soils and hot, humid summers with frequent heavy rain events. Clay soils can hold water and cause rutting, so you may need a thicker, well-compacted base and occasional regrading after big storms. Heat and sun won’t harm stone, but heavy rain and runoff can wash fines away or create potholes, so plan for drainage control and periodic top-ups.

Hello Gravel works with multiple local suppliers and haulers serving Meigs; specific supplier names and availability depend on your zip code. Our minimum order is generally 3 tons, which aligns with local truck minimums, and many local deliveries include free delivery within a reasonable radius while remote deliveries may have an extra fee. For an exact supplier list, minimums, and delivery fee estimates, enter your zip code on our site or contact our sales team.

Delivered-only costs cover material and truck delivery; Hello Gravel’s standard delivery typically takes 2+ business days, and next-day is available before noon CST for an extra fee. Professional spread-and-compact services add labor and equipment costs—expect a local contractor or equipment rental to add anywhere from a few hundred dollars to over $1,000 depending on driveway size and site access. You can request tailgate spreading at checkout, but drivers perform that service only at their discretion and without guarantee.

Regulations vary by location; some parts of Thomas County and individual HOA covenants may have restrictions on visible gravel driveways, curbside appearance, or drainage requirements. Before ordering, check local county zoning offices and any HOA rules that apply to your property to confirm allowed materials, setback or drainage conditions, and required permits. If you need help locating the right office or interpreting rules, contact Hello Gravel and we can point you to local resources.

For sloped sites, angular crushed stone (3/4" to 1-1/2") and larger rock like riprap at concentrated flow points perform best because the angular pieces lock together and resist movement. Combining a crushed stone base with geotextile fabric and installing proper swales or French drains will improve stability and direct runoff away from the slope. Pea gravel drains well but can shift on steep slopes, so it’s best for flatter decorative areas rather than primary slope stabilization.

Late spring through early fall is usually best for gravel installation in Meigs because soils are easier to work when not waterlogged and crews avoid the heaviest thunderstorm periods. Summer storms in West Georgia can wash new gravel, so check the forecast and avoid installing immediately before expected heavy rain. Winters are mild in Meigs, so freeze-thaw is less of an issue than in northern states, but doing work on dry ground will always produce better compaction and results.

Gravel has a lower upfront material and installation cost than asphalt or concrete, and it can be refreshed incrementally with new stone as needed. However, gravel requires more ongoing maintenance—periodic grading, adding fresh material, and managing vegetation and drainage—so long-term costs can add up depending on traffic and weather. Asphalt and concrete have higher initial costs but generally need less frequent upkeep; choose gravel if you prefer lower initial expense and easier repairs, and choose pavement if you want lower maintenance over many years.
