Costs vary by material and availability, but expect roughly $40 to $80 per ton delivered in Springfield for common gravel types. Price depends on gravel type, local supply, delivery distance, and order size; Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum and shows transparent, location-based quotes at checkout. For an exact price, enter your zip code or request a quote—next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee.

For Springfield's clay-heavy soils, angular, crushed stone (for example 3/4" crushed stone or crushed granite) performs best because the pieces lock together and resist rutting. Pea gravel drains well but shifts more, so it is better for decorative uses than primary driveway surfacing. Consider adding a compacted crushed-stone base and geotextile fabric to improve stability on clay.

A typical 1-car driveway (about 12 x 20 ft) at a 3" top layer needs roughly 3 tons, which matches Hello Gravel's 3-ton minimum; increasing depth to 6" raises the need to about 5 to 6 tons. A 2-car driveway (about 20 x 20 ft) at 3" needs about 5 tons, and at 6" needs roughly 9 to 10 tons. These are estimates—use our material calculator or contact our team for a site-specific quote.

Yes, Hello Gravel partners deliver by dump truck (typically tri-axle) to Springfield addresses; many areas qualify for free delivery and you can choose a delivery date during checkout. Drivers may provide tailgate spreading at their discretion if you request it at checkout, but spreading is not guaranteed and is assessed for safety upon arrival. For changes to delivery or spreading requests, contact our team as soon as possible.

Springfield's clay soils and heavy rains can cause rutting and washouts if a driveway lacks a proper compacted base and drainage. Well-graded, crushed stone with a firm base, good crown, and edge containment reduces ruts and improves drainage. Dust is common with mixes that have a lot of fines; using a coarser top layer or applying dust-control treatments can help.

For driveways in Springfield we recommend a compacted base of 4 to 6 inches of crushed stone as a minimum; high-traffic or soft subgrade (clay) often needs 6 to 8 inches. Walkways and garden paths typically do well with 2 to 3 inches over a compacted base. In soft spots, add geotextile fabric and thicker base material to prevent sinking and erosion.

Gravel has a lower upfront cost but typically requires more ongoing maintenance—periodic regrading, adding fresh gravel, and dust control every 1 to 3 years depending on traffic and weather. Asphalt and concrete cost more to install but usually need less frequent surface maintenance, though repairs can be costly if damaged. Choose gravel for lower initial budget and easier local repairs, or pavement if you prefer lower maintenance long term.

In West Georgia's mild freeze/thaw environment, both crushed limestone and crushed granite can perform well; granite is typically harder and more durable, while limestone often compacts and binds better. For heavy rain and clay subgrades, a well-compacted, angular stone (either local crushed rock or granite) with good drainage and a stable base is most important. Local availability will also affect cost and color, so check regional options when ordering.

Prices vary by site, but basic grading and compaction often range from a few hundred dollars to $1,000+ depending on lot size and complexity; weed barrier installation typically runs from around $0.50 to $2.00 per square foot when bundled with contractor work. Hello Gravel coordinates delivery but these additional services are usually provided by local contractors; ask our team for referrals and request written estimates for each service. Scheduling these services before material delivery helps ensure a smooth installation.

Yes—gravel is a common, cost-effective choice for farm lanes and rural roads around Springfield when built with a proper thicker section (often 6 to 12 inches), geotextile fabric, and good drainage. Gravel allows easy, low-cost repairs and resurfacing after heavy rains or equipment use, but it does require ongoing maintenance like grading and adding material. For heavy, frequent truck traffic, specify a heavier base and check local supplier recommendations for the most durable mix.
