Gravel in Sandy Springs, GA

Delivered gravel prices in the Sandy Springs/Atlanta area typically vary by material and delivery distance; a common range is roughly $30 to $60 per ton depending on type (pea gravel, crushed stone, or decorative rock) and supplier. Exact pricing depends on your zip code, truck access, and any spreading service; check rates at checkout or contact our team for a precise quote.

For clay soils and slopes in Sandy Springs, angular crushed stone (such as 3/4" crushed stone or crushed granite) performs best because it locks together and resists shifting. Pea gravel and smooth river rock tend to roll and migrate on slopes, so reserve those for flat decorative areas or use them with retaining edges and strong base preparation.

Use compacted depths typical for the project: driveways usually need 4" to 6" of compacted gravel. For a 20x20 area (400 sq ft) you would need about 5.0 tons at 3" depth, about 6.7 tons at 4" depth, and about 13.5 tons at 6" depth (using 1 cubic yard ≈ 1.35 tons). For a 20x40 area (800 sq ft) double those amounts; use our material calculator for exact numbers and to account for different gravel densities.

Many local contractors recommend using geotextile fabric under gravel on clay soils and slopes to improve drainage, reduce mixing of subgrade and gravel, and slow rutting. Fabric helps in wet seasons common to the Atlanta area, but its necessity depends on traffic, soil conditions, and budget; request it in your installation plan if you have standing water or soft subsoil.

Hello Gravel partners with local quarries and landscape yards in the Atlanta-Sandy Springs metro to deliver bulk gravel; availability and exact suppliers vary by zip code. Our minimum order is 3 tons, and you can check your zip code on our site to see local supplier options and delivery availability.

Sandy Springs' summer storms and spring rains on clay soils can cause rutting, puddling, and faster migration of fines, so expect more frequent minor regrading after wet seasons. Most homeowners need light regrading and topping every 6 to 18 months depending on traffic; heavier repairs are usually needed every few years unless a strong base and drainage are installed.

Professional installation costs vary with site prep, excavation, drainage, fabric, and stone type; a rough range for a basic gravel driveway installation is $2 to $5 per square foot or about $40 to $90 per ton installed. For an accurate price, get multiple local quotes that include site prep and drainage, or contact Hello Gravel for material pricing and referrals to local installers.

For French drains in North Georgia, use washed crushed stone such as #57 or 3/4" clean stone around the pipe with at least 6" to 12" of stone cover, and place nonwoven filter fabric between soil and rock to prevent clogging. For erosion control on slopes, use larger angular stone (3/4" to 2" depending on slope severity) and combine rock with vegetation, retaining edges, or riprap for steep banks.

Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion; you should request this service at checkout but understand it is not guaranteed. The driver will assess access, safety, and site conditions upon arrival and decide whether spreading can be done.

Clear a stable drop zone with good truck access, mark any underground utilities or sprinkler lines, and ensure there is room for the dump truck to safely maneuver; share delivery notes at checkout. If you want spreading, note that adding stakes or a temporary guide can speed the process, but spreading is always at the driver's discretion.

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

This involves pulling the truck forward as material is being dumped to make it easier for you to distribute material after delivery.
