Gravel in Summerville, GA

Prices vary by type and supplier, but expect roughly $30 to $60 per ton for common gravel types in the Summerville/West Georgia area. Exact price depends on material (crushed stone, pea gravel, crusher run), delivery distance, and order size; use Hello Gravel to get a zip-code-specific quote.

Coverage depends on depth and gravel density, but as a rule of thumb one ton of gravel will cover about 80 to 100 sq ft at a 2-inch depth. Heavier or coarser materials and compaction can reduce coverage, so round up when ordering.

You can place gravel directly on dirt for temporary use, but for a long-lasting driveway or parking area we recommend preparing the base. In West Georgia's clay soils, add a compacted crushed-stone base (4 to 6 inches) and consider geotextile fabric to improve drainage and prevent rutting.

Cost varies widely by truck size and material, but a typical tri-axle dump (about 10 to 12 tons) usually runs from a few hundred to several hundred dollars for material plus delivery. Hello Gravel can provide a detailed price for a dump-truck load to Summerville after you enter your zip code and select material and delivery options.

Most tri-axle dump trucks used locally carry about 10 to 12 tons of gravel, though some larger end-dumps can haul 15 to 20 tons. Exact capacity depends on the truck and local hauling rules.

Buying in bulk and choosing locally sourced materials will lower cost; pick up material yourself if you have a suitable truck and skip delivery fees. Also compare local suppliers through Hello Gravel, schedule off-peak delivery, and consider recycled crushed concrete as a lower-cost option.

Cost depends on width and depth. For a single-car 20 ft long by 10 ft wide driveway at about 3-inch depth you’ll likely need around 3 tons of material, which could cost roughly $100 to $250 for material plus $100 to $400 for delivery and spreading—expect a total range of about $200 to $650.

Two inches of gravel is generally too thin for a driveway in West Georgia, where heavy rain and clay subsoils can cause washouts and rutting. We recommend at least a 3 to 4-inch top layer over a well-compacted 4 to 6-inch base for a durable driveway.

Start with proper grading, then install a geotextile fabric if drainage or mixing with subsoil is a concern, followed by a compacted crushed-stone base (4 to 6 inches for driveways). Edge restraints help keep gravel contained and improve longevity.

Crushed stone such as 3/4u0022 crushed stone (#57) or crusher run (a mix of stone and fines) is commonly recommended for driveways in Georgia because it compacts well and sheds water. Pea gravel makes an attractive top layer but is best paired with a crushed stone base for stability in West Georgia’s climate.

For 100 sq ft area: at a 2-inch depth plan on about 1 ton of gravel; at a 3-inch depth plan on about 1.5 tons. These are estimates—material type, compaction, and local stone density can change the final amount, so use Hello Gravel’s calculator or request an on-site estimate for more precision.
