A standard tri-axle dump truck in this area usually carries 10 to 16 tons of crusher run. At typical local rates ($20 to $45 per ton), a truckload of crusher run is often in the range of $200 to $720 delivered, depending on load size and hauling fees.

Common types you will see locally are crushed stone (angular, good for driveways and base), pea gravel (rounded, decorative), and crusher run/crush-and-run (a mix of fines that compacts well). Each has different looks and uses: crushed stone for stability, pea gravel for patios and accents, and crusher run for a firm base or driveway.

Most local dump trucks we work with are tri-axle trucks that deliver about 10 to 16 tons of gravel per load, depending on material density and local road weight limits. If you need more precise numbers for your order, we can confirm the expected tonnage with the supplier and hauler before delivery.

Assuming a 200 ft long by 12 ft wide driveway at a 4-inch depth, you would need roughly 30 cubic yards or about 40 tons of gravel. At local delivered rates of $20 to $45 per ton, material cost would be roughly $800 to $1,800, not including any base prep, hauling fees, or spreading services.

Twenty tons is roughly 15 cubic yards of gravel. That will cover about 1,215 sq ft at a 4-inch depth or about 1,620 sq ft at a 3-inch depth; coverage varies with gravel type and compaction.

Key factors are the gravel type, local quarry supply, truck distance to your property, required load size, and seasonal demand. Regional geology in North Georgia also means color and texture vary, which can influence price and availability.

You can lay gravel directly on soil for short-term solutions, but for long-term stability we recommend compacting a base and using a geotextile fabric to control weeds and reduce mixing with soil. In wet or clay-heavy spots common in parts of Murray County, a compacted base of crusher run will improve drainage and durability.

Crusher run (crush-and-run) compacts densely and produces a firm surface that resists movement, so it is often used where a hard, stable base is needed. It will not harden like poured concrete, but properly compacted crusher run gives a very solid, low-maintenance surface for driveways and pathways.

Locally sourced crusher run or bank-run gravel is typically the most economical option because it is widely produced and requires less processing. Prices still vary by quarry location and hauling distance, so getting a local quote will show the best value for your site.

One cubic yard (27 cubic feet) covers about 81 sq ft at a 4-inch depth, or about 162 sq ft at a 2-inch depth. One ton of gravel is roughly 0.75 cubic yards (this varies by rock type), so a ton will cover about 60 sq ft at 4 inches or about 120 sq ft at 2 inches.

Crusher dust (also called screenings) in the Murray County area generally falls in a similar price band to crusher run, often about $18 to $40 per ton delivered. Final price depends on supplier, delivery distance, and current quarry output; request a quote for an exact rate.

Buy in bulk (minimum order is 3 tons through Hello Gravel) and choose a locally produced material to reduce hauling fees. Scheduling standard delivery (2+ business days) rather than expedited service and combining orders with neighbors are common ways to reduce per-ton costs.
