Gravel in Tallapoosa, GA

Cost depends on the gravel type, quantity, and delivery distance. In West Georgia, delivered gravel often falls in a mid-range price per ton and Hello Gravel’s minimum order is 3 tons; use our online quote tool or contact the team for a firm price. Delivery fees, spreading requests, and next-day service (additional fee) can change the final cost. We can give an exact delivered price once you enter your zip code and material choice.

Crushed stone (angular, 3/4" to 1") is the best all-around choice for Tallapoosa driveways because it compacts well and sheds water. Pea gravel is attractive for patios and walkways but can migrate on clay soils, while river rock is great for drainage features and decorative beds. Regional sourcing means color and texture vary, so request photos or samples if color matters.

A common 2-car driveway (about 20' x 20') at a 3" compacted depth needs roughly 5 tons, and at 4" about 7 tons; deeper bases require more. To calculate: multiply area (ft2) by depth (ft) to get cubic feet, divide by 27 to get cubic yards, then multiply cubic yards by the material weight (about 1.3–1.5 tons per cubic yard for most gravel). Always round up for compaction and ordering limits and remember Hello Gravel’s 3-ton minimum.

Gravel can perform well on clay soils if the base is prepared correctly and drainage is addressed. Clay holds water and can cause rutting; solutions include installing a compacted crushed-stone base, geotextile fabric, crown grading, and reliable drainage outlets. Without those measures, expect more maintenance after heavy rain and potential washouts.

Frequency depends on traffic and rainfall, but many Tallapoosa homeowners regrade annually and add 1–2 inches of new gravel every 2–5 years. Areas with heavy truck traffic or poor drainage may need more frequent attention. Regularly regrading low spots after storms helps prevent potholes and washouts.

Crushed gravel offers better drainage, is often less expensive up front, and is easier to repair, while reclaimed asphalt or concrete compacts into a firmer surface that reduces dust and migration. Reclaimed materials can be a durable option for heavy loads if properly installed and compacted, but they may not drain as well on Tallapoosa’s clay soils without engineered drainage. Choice depends on budget, desired appearance, and how much water runoff you need to manage.

Remove organic topsoil, install geotextile fabric to separate soil from stone, and lay a compacted base of angular crushed stone (4–6" for driveways). Create a slight crown or 1%–2% slope to shed water, add edge restraints, and install French drains or culverts where runoff concentrates. These steps greatly reduce washouts in West Georgia’s seasonal heavy-rain events.
