On North Metro's clay-heavy soils, angular crushed stone (crusher run) and limestone screenings are often best because the fines help lock the material together and reduce rutting. Pea gravel and rounded river gravel look nice but tend to shift and sink on clay unless installed over a properly prepared compacted base and fabric.

A good rule for typical crushed stone (about 1.4 tons per cubic yard) is roughly 0.0043 tons per sq ft at 1 inch, 0.0086 at 2 inches, 0.0130 at 3 inches, and 0.0173 at 4 inches. For example, a 240 sq ft patio at 3 inches needs about 3.1 tons; always round up and add 5–10% for settling and grading losses.

Heavy summer rains can cause washouts, increased weed growth, and compaction issues if drainage and base preparation are poor. Angular crushed stone resists displacement better than rounded gravels, and choosing materials with good drainage (washed stone for drains, larger interlocking stone for driveways) plus proper grading will reduce erosion and standing water.

Pros in North Metro typically excavate to remove soft clay, install geotextile fabric where needed, lay a 3–6 inch compacted base of larger crushed stone, and top with 2–3 inches of compactable finish gravel, compacting each lift. They also add edge restraints, slope the surface for runoff, and consider sub-drains or culverts where heavy runoff is expected.

Upfront installed gravel is usually less expensive—often roughly $1–$3 per sq ft—while asphalt installation commonly runs $3–$7 per sq ft in the region, depending on prep and thickness. Gravel requires more frequent maintenance and periodic replenishment, so over a long lifespan asphalt can be more durable but costs more up front; request local estimates for accurate comparisons.

Regulations and HOA rules vary across West Georgia and North Metro neighborhoods; some municipalities and HOAs limit loose gravel or require specific edging or dust-control measures. Check your city zoning office and HOA covenants before ordering gravel, and save time by attaching any guidance or site photos when you request a Hello Gravel quote.

Maintenance depends on traffic and drainage: expect light top-ups every 1–3 years for driveways and more frequent spot repairs after heavy storms; a full surface replenishment often comes every 3–7 years. Good base prep, drainage, and edge restraints will extend intervals between replenishing in our humid, rainy local climate.

For French drains use clean, washed stone (typically 3/4-inch crushed stone or #57) that allows water to pass while preventing clogging; wrap it in filter fabric to keep West Georgia clay fines out. For driveways, use a compactable base (crusher run or similar) with a well-draining top layer of angular stone; add sub-drains or grading where runoff concentrates to prevent washouts.
