Gravel in Rochelle, GA

In West Georgia, delivered gravel prices for driveways commonly fall in the range of about $30 to $65 per ton depending on stone type, distance to the quarry, and seasonal demand. For a typical 2-car driveway you can expect delivery fees to be included in Hello Gravel quotes when available, with a 3-ton minimum order; request a quote for an exact price. Prices vary by supplier and material, so check your zip code and delivery options on our site for a firm estimate.

For Rochelle's West Georgia climate and clay soils, angular crushed stone (for example 3/4" crushed stone or crushed granite) is a good choice because it locks together and resists rutting. A layered system—coarser crushed stone for a compacted base and smaller crushed stone or "crusher run" for the top—helps with drainage and stability on clay. Expect some regional variation in color and texture due to local sources.

Using a common 2-car driveway size of 20 ft by 40 ft: 4 inches of gravel requires about 10 cubic yards or roughly 13 tons, while 6 inches requires about 15 cubic yards or roughly 20 tons. Depth needs depend on traffic: 4 inches for light passenger cars, 6+ inches if heavier vehicles use the driveway. Hello Gravel has a material calculator on the site to enter your exact dimensions and preferred depth for a tailored tonnage estimate.

In Georgia clay soils, expect to do light maintenance at least once a year, with more intensive grading or adding 1 to 2 inches of fresh gravel every 1 to 3 years depending on use and drainage. Heavy use or poor drainage speeds up rutting and washouts, so regular grading and spot-filling help preserve the surface. Installing proper edging and drainage reduces how often you need to add material.

Gravel is cheaper up front—often under $2 per square foot installed for basic sections—while asphalt typically costs several times more (commonly $3 to $6 per square foot) but lasts longer with less routine maintenance. A gravel driveway can be economical for rural Rochelle homes, especially where drainage is managed, but expect periodic maintenance every few years whereas asphalt can last 10 to 20 years with proper care. Consider traffic, budget, and long-term maintenance when choosing.

On slopes, use angular, well-graded stone: larger sizes (1" to 2" crushed stone) for the base and 3/4" crushed stone for the driving surface to improve water flow and reduce washout. Combine the gravel with geotextile fabric, terraces, or French drains where needed to stabilize slopes and manage runoff on clay soils. Always account for regional rainfall patterns and consult local supplier recommendations for erosion-prone areas.

Permit and HOA rules vary by location; Rochelle city regulations and private neighborhood covenants may have specific requirements for driveway materials, width, and setbacks. Check with Rochelle city hall and your HOA before ordering materials—Hello Gravel can help with material selection once you confirm any local rules. If a permit is required, plan ahead because permitting can affect project timing and delivery scheduling.

Yes, gravel can handle heavy farm trucks if the driveway is built with a thicker, well-compacted base—typically 8 to 12 inches of larger crushed stone under a 2 to 4 inch surface layer. Use larger angular stone for the base and consider geotextile fabric to prevent mixing with underlying clay soils. For frequent heavy loads, specify a heavier section when ordering and discuss hauling needs with the supplier to ensure the correct material is delivered.

A practical mix for Rochelle is a compacted base of 4 to 8 inches of 1" to 2" crushed stone or #3 stone, topped with 2 to 3 inches of 3/4" crushed stone or crusher run for the surface. This layered approach helps with drainage and compaction on local clay soils while keeping the surface stable for cars. When ordering through Hello Gravel, specify the base and surface layers you want and request delivery notes about compaction and spreading options.
