Gravel in Peachtree City, GA

Delivered gravel in the Peachtree City area typically runs between about $30 and $60 per ton, depending on the product (crushed stone vs pea gravel vs decorative rock), distance from the supplier, and delivery fees. Specialty stones and river rock can cost more, while bulk crushed stone is usually at the lower end. Hello Gravel shows transparent pricing at checkout and requires a 3-ton minimum, so check your zip code for exact local rates.

For Peachtree City’s clay soils and humid climate, angular crushed stone (for example 3/4" crushed stone with fines or a layered crusher-run base) performs best because it locks together and sheds water. Use a well-compacted aggregate base (4" to 6") under a 3" to 4" driving surface, add geotextile fabric where needed, and plan proper grading to prevent ponding. Pea gravel looks nice but shifts easily and is not ideal as the sole driving surface.

For a 100 ft × 12 ft driveway (1,200 sq ft), a 3" top layer is about 11.1 cubic yards, roughly 15–16 tons of material. If you follow best practice with a 4" compacted base plus a 3" surface, expect about 26 cubic yards total, or roughly 36 tons. Always order a little extra (5%-10%) to allow for compaction, grading losses, and local variability.

Some Peachtree City neighborhoods and Fayette County HOAs have rules about driveway materials, front-yard landscaping, and visible rock types, so restrictions do exist in certain subdivisions. City zoning generally allows gravel in many residential areas, but HOA covenants can be stricter and vary by community. We recommend checking your specific HOA covenants and calling Peachtree City planning or Fayette County code enforcement before ordering materials.

Properly installed gravel drains well during heavy summer rains, but underlying clay can cause rutting and standing water if you skip a compacted base and grading. Use a stable base, geotextile fabric, and slope away from structures or install simple swales or French drains to manage runoff. Without those measures, gravel surfaces in this area will need more frequent topping and regrading after heavy storms.

Gravel can be a low-maintenance walkway option if you choose the right product: compactable crushed stone or stabilized gravel requires less rework than loose pea gravel. Expect periodic raking, edging, and topping every few years, and use edging and fabric to keep material in place and reduce weed growth in Peachtree City’s humid climate. For the lowest upkeep, consider stabilized mixes or resin-bound options for high-traffic paths.

Gravel has a lower upfront material and installation cost than asphalt but requires ongoing maintenance (regrading, topping, and dust control). Asphalt is more expensive to install but offers a cleaner look, lower routine upkeep, and may be preferred in higher-end Peachtree City neighborhoods, which can affect curb appeal and resale. Base conditions, HOA rules, and your long-term budget should guide the choice.

With routine maintenance—periodic regrading, adding material, and keeping drainage in check—a gravel driveway in the Atlanta-Sandy Springs area commonly lasts 10 to 25 years before a major rebuild is needed. Driveways on heavy clay or poorly drained sites will need more frequent attention and may require base repairs sooner. Staying on top of drainage and topping small low spots will extend service life.

Homeowners in Peachtree City can buy bulk gravel from local landscape suppliers or order through Hello Gravel, which connects you with local sources and haulers. Typical delivery options include standard delivery (2+ business days), next-day delivery if ordered before noon CST (additional fee), and optional tailgate spreading at the driver’s discretion. Most suppliers have a minimum order (Hello Gravel’s minimum is 3 tons), and delivery is usually by dump truck.

Installed costs vary with access, site prep, and edging choices, but plan on roughly $3 to $8 per sq ft for a simple 3" compacted gravel pad that includes base prep and edging; a 200 sq ft pad would therefore run about $600 to $1,600. Costs rise if significant excavation, poor soils, drainage work, or decorative edging is required. For accurate pricing, get local installation quotes that account for site-specific factors.

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