Gravel in Temple, GA

Delivered prices in Temple and West Georgia usually depend on material type and order size. Expect a rough range of about $30 to $70 per ton for common gravels (pea gravel, crushed stone, #57) delivered, with decorative or specialty stone costing more; exact pricing depends on local supplier rates, haul distance, and seasonal demand.

Local suppliers commonly offer 3/4" crushed stone (#57), pea gravel, limestone screenings, and river rock for landscaping. Crushed stone and #57 are the most popular for driveways because they lock together and compact, while pea gravel and river rock are used for decorative beds and pathways.

Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons, and standard delivery is 2+ business days with next-day available for orders placed before noon CST (additional fee applies). Delivery fees vary by supplier and distance; many West Georgia areas get free delivery on standard orders but remote locations or rush/same-day requests often carry extra charges — same-day service is rare and usually costs more.

For a 20x20 (400 sq ft) driveway, plan on about 4 inches of compacted gravel = roughly 7 tons, and about 6 inches = roughly 10 tons. Because Temple has clay soils, many installers recommend 5–6 inches of compacted base plus a geotextile and ordering 5–10% extra for compaction and waste.

Hot summers and heavy rain increase erosion and compaction issues, so choose angular crushed stone or #57 for driveways to improve interlock and drainage. Plan for good grading, edge restraint, and periodic top-ups after heavy storms; washed stone and proper slope help prevent rutting and washouts.

Common practices include installing a geotextile fabric to separate clay subgrade from the gravel, using edge restraints to contain material, and compacting in 2–3 inch layers with a plate compactor. Contractors also grade for positive drainage and often add a finer top dressing (screenings) to improve surface stability.

A well-built gravel driveway in Temple can last indefinitely with regular maintenance, but it requires more frequent upkeep than asphalt or pavers. Expect occasional grading and adding 1/2 to 1 inch of new stone every 1–3 years; upfront costs are much lower than asphalt or pavers, while long-term maintenance can be modest (small annual costs) versus higher repair or replacement costs for asphalt or pavers.

Regulations and HOA rules vary, so check Temple city zoning, Carroll County codes, and any homeowners association rules before installing gravel in front yards or driveways. Some neighborhoods or HOAs limit visible gravel, require specific edging, or have setback and drainage rules, so confirm requirements before you order material.

Measure square footage and desired depth to calculate cubic yards, then convert to tons and add 5–10% for waste and compaction; Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons so plan accordingly. Include delivery notes about access and desired drop location, request tailgate spreading at checkout if you want it (driver discretion), and contact our team early for schedule or order changes.
