Gravel in Suwanee, GA

Costs vary by material type and supplier, but expect common driveway gravels in Suwanee to run roughly $35 to $60 per ton delivered. For a typical small driveway you may also see a flat delivery fee or free delivery depending on supplier and Hello Gravel offers 2+ business day standard delivery with a 3-ton minimum. Get an exact price by entering your zip code on our site or requesting a quote, since local quarry distance and material choice affect final price.

Crushed stone (often called #57 or crushed limestone) is the most common choice for Suwanee driveways because its angular pieces lock together and resist rutting on clay soils. Pea gravel looks attractive but shifts more easily and may need edging; crushed limestone or crush-and-run base with a top layer of 3/4-inch stone gives a stable, low-maintenance surface. Consider regional availability and drainage needs when choosing; you can add order notes for color or preference at checkout.

Suwanee's clay-rich soils can hold water, so gravel can help surface drainage if installed over a firm, well-prepared base and with proper slope. In heavy rains, fine particles can wash into clay, so use a stable base (crush-and-run or compacted screenings) and, where needed, a drainage layer of clean stone or perforated pipe. Expect more maintenance after very wet seasons; regular regrading and topping up prevents potholes and rutting.

Use these quick estimates: a 12x40 driveway at 4 inches deep needs about 9 tons of gravel; a 500 sq ft patio at 2 inches deep needs about 4.5 to 5 tons. Hello Gravel's material calculator on the site can convert your exact dimensions into tons; minimum order through our platform is 3 tons, so small jobs may require a slightly larger delivery or mixing materials.

Installer rates vary with site access and prep work, but basic spreading and compaction in the Suwanee area commonly runs from $1 to $4 per square foot, while full prep including grading, base material, and drainage can be $2.50 to $6+ per square foot.

In Suwanee's climate and clay soils expect routine maintenance—light regrading and topping up—every 1 to 3 years, especially after heavy rain seasons, and more frequent attention in high-traffic areas. With regular maintenance a gravel driveway can serve well for 7 to 15 years before a major refresh is needed; lifespan depends on traffic, base preparation, and drainage. Proper initial base and periodic addition of 1 to 3 inches of new gravel extend service life significantly.

Clean, washed crushed stone such as 3/4-inch crushed stone or #57 are preferred for drainage trenches and French drains because they allow water to flow while resisting compaction. Pea gravel is decorative and drains, but its round shape can shift and clog pipe more easily; avoid mixed fines in drain layers. Always pair drainage gravel with filter fabric and consider local clay conditions that reduce infiltration when designing drain systems.

Gravel has lower upfront material and installation costs—often $1 to $3 per sq ft installed for basic gravel—while asphalt typically costs $3 to $7 per sq ft for a new driveway. Asphalt usually requires less frequent topping and can last 15 to 25 years with periodic sealing, while gravel requires more regular maintenance but costs less to refresh. Choose gravel for lower initial cost and easier repairs; choose asphalt if you want a smoother, lower-maintenance surface and are willing to invest more initially.

Crush-and-run, screenings, or road base used for subgrades in West Georgia generally run in the range of $20 to $45 per ton delivered, depending on supplier and haul distance. Proper base preparation is one of the best investments for longevity, so factor base material and compaction into your budget rather than only top-layer gravel. Contact Hello Gravel for local pricing and use our material calculator to estimate quantities based on your exact dimensions.
