For most Social Circle driveways a layered approach works best: 2-4 inches of compactable base like crusher run (also called DG or 3/4" minus) topped with 3/4" to #57 crushed stone. Those materials lock together, shed water, and resist rutting in hot, humid summers and heavy rains better than loose rounded gravel. Pea gravel looks nice but tends to shift and isn’t recommended alone for driveways. Edge restraints and proper grading are important given local clay soils and rainfall.

Use this quick method: 1 cubic yard = about 1.4 tons. For planning, a 10' x 25' single-car driveway at 3" depth needs about 3 tons, a 20' x 40' two-car driveway at 4" depth needs about 14 tons, a 12' x 12' patio at 2" depth needs about 1.2 tons, and a 20' x 20' patio at 3" depth needs about 5.2 tons. Always add about 10% for compaction and waste and remember Hello Gravel’s 3-ton minimum when ordering.

Yes, if installed and maintained correctly. Proper base preparation, good drainage (crown or slope and edge drains), and a compactable top layer like #57 or crusher-run help prevent rutting and washouts during heavy rains. Expect some movement after extreme storms; regular regrading and topping up are normal maintenance in this climate. Avoid fine, loose materials on slopes where runoff is strong.

A well-built gravel driveway can function for 10 to 20 years with routine upkeep. Plan to regrade and add 1 to 3 tons of top material every 1 to 3 years depending on traffic and storms, compact new material after spreading, and address ruts promptly after heavy rains. Seasonal checks after the rainy season help catch drainage or erosion problems early.

Gravel is usually the lowest upfront cost and is permeable, easy to repair, and flexible on clay soils, but it needs more ongoing maintenance. Asphalt is midrange cost, provides a smoother surface and easier snow/leaf cleanup, but can soften in extreme heat and requires periodic sealing. Concrete is the most expensive upfront, long lasting and low-maintenance when installed correctly, but it can crack on unstable ground and has higher repair costs. In Social Circle’s climate, drainage and base prep are the most important factors regardless of surface choice.

Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and contracted dump-truck haulers who source materials from regional quarries. We deliver by dump truck (typically tri-axle) with standard delivery in 2+ business days and next-day options available for orders placed before noon CST (additional fee).

Install edging and consider a geotextile fabric under the base to limit weed growth and mixing with clay soils. Use coarser graded gravel that compacts well, maintain a crown or slope for runoff, regrade low spots after storms, and add fresh gravel to thin areas as needed. Apply a weed-preventing landscape fabric or herbicide where appropriate and keep vegetation cut back to reduce seed migration.

Pea gravel is rounded and comfortable underfoot, drains well and suits casual seating areas, but it shifts easily and can be hard to push wheelbarrows or patio furniture over. #57 crushed stone is angular, locks together when compacted, and makes a firmer, more stable surface for walkways and patios. For both in Social Circle’s rainy climate, place a stable base and edge restraint and plan to top up material after heavy storms.

Professional installation costs vary by scope: small patio or short driveway prep might run a few hundred to a couple thousand dollars, while full driveway excavation, base stone, geotextile and compacted finish can run several thousand dollars. Factors include site access, excavation depth, soil conditions (clay can increase cost), and whether drainage work is needed. For accurate pricing, request a site-specific estimate from Hello Gravel or a local contractor after sharing measurements and photos.
