Gravel in Quitman, GA

For Quitman’s humid, rainy climate choose angular, compacting gravels like crusher run (aka 3/4" crusher run) for the base and #57 or similar crushed stone as a topcoat. Pea gravel and smooth river rock drain well but tend to shift under vehicle traffic and are not ideal for driveways. Regional suppliers in West Georgia often offer crushed limestone or crushed granite; both work if properly graded and compacted.

Common driveway sizes and approximate tonnage (using 1 cubic yard = 1.35 tons): 1-car (12'x20') at 3" depth ≈ 3 tons, at 4" ≈ 4 tons. 2-car (20'x20') at 3" ≈ 5 tons, at 4" ≈ 7 tons. 3-car (30'x20') at 3" ≈ 7.5 tons, at 4" ≈ 10 tons. These are estimates; site grading, base requirements, and local compaction will change final quantities.

Yes. Clay soils in this part of Georgia hold water and can cause rutting, so most contractors install 4"–6" of compacted crushed stone as a structural base and often a geotextile fabric to separate the clay from the aggregate. Proper subgrade preparation and drainage are as important as the gravel itself to prevent sinking and washouts.

Both can work in Quitman, but they have different trade-offs: crushed limestone compacts well and forms a stable surface but can powder and become slick when very wet, while crushed granite drains well and keeps a more natural, textured look. Local availability and price often determine the choice, so check regional suppliers and pick based on desired appearance and maintenance willingness.

Heavy rain in West Georgia can cause washouts, ruts, and potholes if drainage and crowning are inadequate. Plan for a crowned profile, edge restraints, and proper swales or ditches to move water away. Expect to regrade and add material after major storms; good drainage greatly extends a gravel driveway’s lifespan.

Frequency depends on traffic and drainage: light-use driveways may need regrading and a light top-up every 2–3 years, while busy driveways often need annual attention. A common rule is to add 1/2"–1" of new gravel per year or 2–3" every few years, and regrade rutting as needed after heavy rains.

Permit and HOA requirements vary: in many small Georgia towns resurfacing a driveway does not need a building permit, but Quitman city codes or county rules may apply for driveway apron work or changes to curb cuts. If you have an HOA, check its covenants for surface material rules. Always confirm with the City of Quitman building department or your HOA before proceeding.

Clear the drop zone of vehicles, toys, and debris and mark property boundaries or preferred dump location with stakes or flags. Ensure truck access is possible and notify us of low-hanging wires, gates, or septic tanks; consider a call to locate underground utilities if digging.
