Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum order and offers standard delivery in 2+ business days; next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST with an extra fee. Many Stockbridge deliveries qualify for free or included delivery, but remote drop locations, small orders, or difficult access may incur additional haul or fuel fees typically in the range of $25 to $75.

Hot summers have little negative effect on gravel itself, but heavy rains and humidity can cause washouts, rutting, and migration of fines if the base and grade are not designed for runoff. For Stockbridge, you should slope the driveway for proper runoff, add cross-drains or culverts where needed, and use angular crushed stone or crusher-run near the base to lock material in place and improve drainage.

Stockbridge sits on the Piedmont/Clay-influenced soils common to the Atlanta area, with red clay that holds water and can heave or rut without a stable base. Expect to excavate soft spots, add properly graded crushed stone base, and use mechanical compaction; consider a geotextile fabric in saturated spots to limit mixing of clay and aggregate.

For driveways, 3/4" crushed stone or #57 stone with a crusher-run base is common because it compacts well and resists displacement. Walkways and patios often use pea gravel for comfort and appearance, but it shifts more and needs edging; crusher-run or screenings are good under pavers as a stable base. Choose angular crushed stone for stability in driveways and rounded pea gravel for aesthetics, keeping in mind rounded stone drains well but moves more under traffic.

Use cubic yards first: length (ft) x width (ft) x depth (ft) / 27 = cubic yards. Most gravels in our region weigh about 1.3 to 1.5 tons per cubic yard, so multiply cubic yards by 1.4 (as a typical middle value) to get tons. Example: a 12 ft x 50 ft driveway at 3" depth is (12*50*0.25)/27 = 5.56 cubic yards, roughly 7.8 tons (5.56 * 1.4).

Maintenance depends on traffic and weather; expect light maintenance (raking/regrading) once or twice a year and adding more gravel every 2 to 5 years. Professional regrading or minor repairs usually cost from about $150 to $500 locally, while adding a ton of delivered gravel in Stockbridge typically runs $30 to $70 per ton depending on material and delivery.

Gravel has the lowest upfront cost and the best drainage, which helps in Stockbridge's heavy rain zones, but it requires regular maintenance and can wash out in steep or poorly drained areas. Asphalt offers a smoother driving surface and lower maintenance than gravel but costs more up front and reduces permeability. Concrete is the most durable for heavy use but is the most expensive and least permeable, which could increase runoff concerns and potential permitting in some neighborhoods.

Picking up directly from a quarry can lower the per-ton cost because you avoid delivery fees, but you need a suitable truck and handling equipment and the time to pick it up. Hello Gravel negotiates local rates, handles coordination, and delivers on schedule which often offsets the hassle for many homeowners; compare total landed cost (material + haul + time) to decide which is cheaper for your situation.

Many Stockbridge neighborhoods and HOAs have covenants that specify driveway materials, edging, and appearance, and some suburban developments prefer paved surfaces. Also check city or county codes for driveway permits, stormwater or curb-cut rules; before placing gravel, review your HOA rules and contact the City of Stockbridge or Henry County planning office to confirm requirements.

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