Gravel in Mount Airy, GA

Many orders in small West Georgia towns like Mount Airy qualify for free standard delivery, but fees depend on supplier distance and road access. Expect a typical range of $0 to $75 for standard delivery in rural areas; next-day service or difficult access may add a surcharge. Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum and uses local dump trucks, so note any driveway restrictions or long haul distances in Order Notes.

For driveways in Mount Airy, crushed stone or crushed limestone (3/4" clean stone) is the most durable because it locks together and compacts well. Pea gravel and river rock are popular for decorative beds, walkways, and drainage features but are less stable for driveways. Choose material based on use: stability for driveways, rounded stone for decorative features, and washed stone for drainage.

Many areas around Mount Airy have clayey soils that hold moisture and can cause rutting and potholes if a proper base is not installed. The region gets frequent summer storms, so good surface crown, drainage paths, and a well-compacted stone base are key to longevity. Adding a geotextile fabric and adequate subbase thickness reduces water-related movement and saves maintenance.

Local prices vary by material and order size, but rough ranges for West Georgia are: crushed stone $20 to $40 per ton (about $25 to $45 per cubic yard), pea gravel $30 to $60 per ton, and river rock or decorative stone $40 to $100+ per ton. Bulk discounts often apply for larger orders, and delivery, seasonal demand, and regional sourcing can shift prices. Hello Gravel’s site calculator and quotes show exact pricing for your zip code and material.

A common 2-car driveway (about 20 ft by 40 ft = 800 sq ft) with a compacted base (6-8 inches) plus a 2-3 inch top layer typically requires about 20 to 30 cubic yards of material, roughly 28 to 42 tons depending on stone density. Use this formula: cubic yards = (square feet x depth in inches) / 324, then multiply cubic yards by 1.3 to 1.5 to estimate tons. For smaller or larger driveways and different depths, run numbers through Hello Gravel’s calculator or ask our team for a quick quote.

Permit and HOA rules vary by property. Before you start, check with Mount Airy city offices (or the county where your property sits) for driveway permits, right-of-way and culvert requirements, and with your HOA for material or appearance restrictions. If your driveway affects public drainage or the road edge, you may need a permit or a county driveway permit.

For clay-prone sites near Mount Airy, contractors typically recommend a 6 to 8 inch compacted subbase of crushed stone over a geotextile fabric, with an additional 2 to 3 inch wearing layer of 3/4" crushed stone. In areas with poor drainage or heavy traffic, increase the subbase to 8 to 12 inches and add proper grading and crown for runoff. Proper compaction in layers and edge restraints will significantly reduce rutting and washouts.

Maintenance frequency depends on traffic and local rainfall, but many Mount Airy homeowners regrade or spot-fill potholes once a year and add a fresh 1 to 3 inches of top stone every 2 to 4 years. Heavy clay soils and steep driveways can require more frequent attention after major storms. Regular light maintenance and good drainage greatly reduce the need for large replenishment jobs.

Hello Gravel uses local dump trucks (typically tri-axle) and has a 3-ton minimum per order; trucks need a clear approach and sufficient turning radius to place material. Deliveries are usually to the driveway edge, street, or a safe on-property spot; tailgate spreading is available at the driver’s discretion if requested at checkout. Note overhead wires, low-hanging trees, soft ground, or narrow lanes in your Order Notes so suppliers can plan the best delivery method.

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

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.
