Gravel in pavo, GA

A common 2-car driveway (about 20 ft by 40 ft) at 3 inches depth needs roughly 7.5 cubic yards, or about 10 tons of crushed stone. If you want 4 inches of coverage plan on about 13 tons. Use our material calculator or contact our team with your exact dimensions for a precise estimate; minimum orders start at 3 tons.

Crushed stone (3/4" to 1") is usually best for driveways in West Georgia because its angular particles lock together and compact well on clay. Avoid loose round stones like river rock for driveways where stability matters; pea gravel can work for low-traffic paths but tends to migrate on clay. Adding a compacted base and fabric improves performance in humid, clay-rich soils around Pavo.

Clay soils hold water and reduce natural drainage, so gravel can rut or develop potholes after heavy rain. You should plan a crowned surface, good edge restraint, and at least 3 to 4 inches of compacted aggregate over a prepared subbase to help water run off. Periodic grading and topping up with fresh stone will also reduce maintenance needs.

Permit requirements vary by project and location; many rural driveways in Thomas County do not need a building permit, but connecting to a county road, changing drainage, or adding a new curb cut may require approval. Contact Thomas County public works or the City of Pavo planning office to confirm local rules before you start. If you need help, our team can point you to local resources.

In rural areas near Pavo, delivery logistics can affect cost because suppliers and haulers have service radiuses and minimums; Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons and standard delivery is typically 2+ business days. If you are beyond a supplier's normal route there may be an extra fee or longer lead time, so check your zip code and delivery quote at checkout. We connect you with local suppliers to reduce long-haul charges where possible.

Geotextile fabric under the gravel is a cost-effective way to reduce mixing with clay, limit rutting, and improve longevity in Pavo's soils. Gravel stabilizers or grid systems can help on slopes or where you want a firmer, low-maintenance surface, but they add material and installation cost. For most homeowner driveways in West Georgia, fabric plus a properly compacted crushed stone base offers the best value.

Local homeowners in small West Georgia towns often choose crushed stone for driveways because it locks together and handles vehicle traffic better on clay soils. Pea gravel is popular for decorative walkways and patios because it looks good underfoot, while river rock is used sparingly for accents and drainage areas because it does not compact well. Regional color and texture vary, so expect local stone to reflect nearby geology.

A well-built gravel driveway in Pavo can perform well for 10 to 20 years with routine maintenance like regrading, adding a thin top-up of stone every few years, and managing drainage. Lifespan depends on traffic, site drainage, and initial base preparation; poor drainage and heavy trucks shorten service life. Regular upkeep is the most cost-effective way to extend a gravel driveway's life in this climate.
