For clay-heavy sites, angular crushed stone performs best because it locks together and resists rutting; common combos are a crusher-run base with a #57 or 3/4" crushed stone surface. Pea gravel drains well and looks attractive but can migrate on steep or clayey lots, so it is better for low-traffic areas or pathways. Always pair material choice with proper base prep and drainage to reduce movement in Pine Lake's humid conditions.

Using a standard conversion (1 cubic yard ≈ 1.2 tons), a single-car driveway (10' x 50') at 4" compacted depth needs about 7 to 8 tons. A two-car driveway (20' x 40') at 4" needs about 12 tons. A 20' x 20' patio at 2" depth needs about 3 tons, which meets Hello Gravel's minimum order; round up for settling, grading, or if you want an extra 10-15% to allow for compaction and waste.

Pine Lake's humid climate and episodic heavy rains can cause washouts, rutting, and migration of fines on clay subsoils if drainage is inadequate. Good grading, firm base material, and diversion of runoff (swales or French drains) greatly extend gravel life. Expect more frequent regrading after heavy storms and plan maintenance accordingly rather than assuming a one-time installation will last without attention.

Hello Gravel connects you to local suppliers and haulers and can help point you to contractors in the West Georgia area, but we do not directly employ installation crews. Labor rates vary by scope, but small residential spreading and compaction jobs in our region commonly range from a few hundred dollars to $1,500+ depending on driveway size, access, and whether excavation or geotextile installation is needed. We recommend getting at least two local quotes and asking contractors to include compaction, edge restraints, and drainage work in their bids.

Gravel is lower upfront and easier to repair, but it requires periodic regrading and topping—especially in Pine Lake's clay soils—so maintenance costs add up over time. Asphalt has a higher initial cost but usually requires less frequent upkeep if installed over a properly prepared base with good drainage. For low-traffic properties or tight budgets, gravel is often the practical choice; for higher traffic or where you want a smoother, lower-maintenance surface, asphalt may be more cost-effective long term.

For a driveway, compacted base layers of 4" to 6" of crusher run or compactable crushed stone over a stable subgrade are typical; steeper or softer clay sites often need 6" or more. Install proper slope grading, edge restraints, and consider geotextile fabric where subgrade is very soft to separate the clay from the stone. Add swales, drains, or French drains to manage surface water and reduce washout risk on slopes.

Frequency depends on traffic, drainage, and storm exposure; many homeowners need minor regrading or top-ups every 1 to 3 years and a more substantial refresh every 3 to 5 years. Small annual maintenance for a typical driveway often means adding 1 to 3 tons and regrading, which can cost roughly $100 to $500 per year installed; larger or erosion-prone sites cost more. Proper initial base and drainage reduce long-term maintenance needs and overall cost.

For French drains and subsurface drainage use clean, washed 3/4" crushed stone or #57 stone because it allows water to flow while resisting clogging. Garden paths benefit from pea gravel for comfort or compactable crushed stone for a firm walking surface; place a compacted base beneath paths for stability. For slope erosion control, use larger angular rock or riprap-sized stone in high-flow areas, and consider combining stone with vegetation or erosion-control blankets for best results.

Pine Lake is a small community, and local city codes or neighborhood HOA covenants may have rules about driveway surfacing, edging, and visible material types. Before ordering, check with Pine Lake city zoning officials and your HOA (if applicable) to confirm any restrictions or required permits. If you need help, Hello Gravel can flag common permit questions and suggest material options that are often HOA-friendly.
