Gravel in Nahunta, GA

Common types you will see near Nahunta include pea gravel (rounded 1/8"-3/8" stones), #57 crushed stone (about 3/4" angular pieces), and 3/4" minus (crushed stone with fines). Pea gravel is decorative and good for patios, #57 is popular for driveways and drainage, and 3/4" minus packs well for a stable surface. Because Hello Gravel sources regionally, color and texture may vary based on local Georgia geology.

Delivered gravel prices in the Nahunta area commonly range from about $30 to $70 per ton depending on material type, distance from the quarry, and seasonal demand. Specialty materials like decorative river rock or large riprap tend toward the higher end, while bulk crushed stone is usually cheaper.

For Nahunta driveways we usually recommend angular crushed stone such as #57 or 3/4" minus, because the rough edges lock together and resist rutting during heavy summer rains. Avoid pure pea gravel for a main driveway surface since it shifts easily under vehicle traffic. Also consider a compacted base and good edge restraint to prevent washout from local downpours.

For 1,000 sq ft at a 3" depth you will need roughly 12 to 13 tons of gravel. If you want a 4" depth for more durability, plan on about 16 to 17 tons. Hello Gravel has a material calculator to get a tailored estimate based on exact dimensions and depth.

Nahunta's frequent summer rains can cause migration and washouts, especially on slopes or edges without good edging or drainage. Expect to regrade and add a few inches of material every 1-3 years, and periodically rake, compact, and replenish fines to keep surfaces stable. Installing simple drainage and edge restraints will reduce maintenance needs significantly.

Gravel has a lower upfront cost than asphalt, making it attractive for rural Nahunta properties, but it requires more frequent maintenance like grading and topping up. Asphalt costs more initially but usually needs less regular attention and can last many years with periodic sealcoating. Consider your budget, traffic levels, and willingness to maintain the surface when choosing between the two.

Use clean, angular drain rock such as #57 or 1/2"-1" clean stone for yard drains and French drain trenches because they allow water to flow while resisting clogging. For steep channels or severe erosion along creek banks, use larger riprap (1"-3" or bigger depending on severity) with geotextile underlay. Match material size to the expected flow and consult local codes if the work affects a waterway.

Possibly. Nahunta is a small city, but local zoning, county regulations, or HOA rules may restrict yard surfacing, front-yard materials, or changes that affect drainage. Before you order material, contact Nahunta city hall, your county planning office, or your HOA to confirm any rules and whether a permit or plan review is required.

Nahunta generally has mild freeze-thaw cycles, so frost heave is less of an issue than in northern states; the bigger challenge is heavy summer storms that can move or wash gravel. Expect to see localized rutting after big rains and plan for periodic topping up and regrading. Good base preparation and drainage will limit seasonal movement.

Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons, and deliveries are typically by tri-axle dump truck, so you need adequate turning room and a clear drop zone. Watch for low-hanging wires, soft shoulders, narrow lanes, or low bridges; add site notes and photos at checkout to help our hauler assess access. If you need spreading, request tailgate spreading at checkout but note drivers perform it at their discretion.

Clear the intended drop area of vehicles, kids' toys, and vegetation, and mark the exact spot with stakes or flags so the driver can see where to dump. If the area is soft, consider a temporary plywood path for the truck wheels and note any access issues in your order notes. Compact the subgrade before spreading and plan for edging and drainage to keep material in place.

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