Gravel in Thomaston, GA

In Thomaston and nearby West Georgia, common gravel typically ranges from about $20 to $45 per ton delivered, depending on type (washed, crushed, decorative) and truck distance. Specialty colors or processed products (crushed stone, polymeric mixes) are usually at the higher end of that range. Prices vary by supplier and season, so check your zip code for current quotes.

A tri-axle dump truck delivery to Thomaston often carries about 10 to 14 tons and many local deliveries include the truck cost in per-ton pricing or a small delivery fee. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum and standard delivery is 2+ business days, with next-day available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Ask for a delivered quote to see any per-truck or fuel surcharges that may apply.

For a typical single-car driveway (about 10 ft wide x 20 ft long) at 4 to 6 inches depth, expect roughly 3.5 to 4.5 cubic yards or 5 to 7 tons of gravel. Materials and delivery often run $100 to $350 depending on material and supplier, and labor for grading and spreading can add $200 to $600, so total costs commonly fall in the $350 to $900 range. Local soil conditions, desired finish, and whether you add base or fabric will affect the final price, so request a local quote for accuracy.

Measure the length and width in feet and decide the compacted depth in inches. Use this formula: (length ft x width ft x depth in) / 324 = cubic yards. To convert cubic yards to tons, multiply cubic yards by about 1.4 to 1.6 (tons per cubic yard for most gravels); round up and remember Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum for delivery.

Crushed stone is typically more expensive than natural rounded gravel because it requires processing and screening; expect crushed stone to cost roughly 10% to 30% more per ton. Delivery costs are similar per-ton, though heavier or bulkier orders and specialty stone can increase truck charges. Choose crushed stone for structural strength and gravel for lower cost and more natural appearance.

For driveways in Thomaston we commonly recommend a compactable base of 3/4" crushed stone or 2-3 inch crushed base topped with 3/4" to 1/2" crushed stone or #57 stone for surface. Crushed stone locks together better than rounded river gravel, offering improved durability and easier maintenance in our clay-prone West Georgia soils. Add a 1 to 2 inch layer of fines or screenings on top if you want a smoother finish that still drains well.

Asphalt millings are often available from local paving contractors in West Georgia and can be a cost-effective alternative to gravel, typically priced similar to or slightly lower than gravel per ton. Millings compact and provide a more stable surface than loose gravel, but prices and availability vary seasonally. Check local listings or request a Hello Gravel quote for milling availability and a side-by-side cost comparison.

Stabilized systems (polymeric gravel, resin-bound mixtures, or gravel bound with a stabilizing grid) are available locally and cost more than loose gravel because of the material and installation labor. Expect installed prices to be several dollars per square foot higher; a rough range is $6 to $12+ per sq ft depending on product and prep work. These systems reduce migration, maintenance, and dust, so they can be worth the extra cost for driveways and high-traffic areas.

In Thomaston soils, which can be clayey and hold water, we recommend installing a compacted base (crushed stone) and a geotextile fabric under the gravel to prevent mixing, rutting, and washout. The fabric is relatively inexpensive (roughly $0.25 to $0.75 per sq ft) and base material adds tons and cost but greatly extends service life. For small decorative areas on well-drained slopes, direct placement may work, but for driveways and parking areas you should plan for base and fabric.

Local aggregates in the Thomaston and West Georgia area commonly include tan, brown, reddish, and gray gravels due to regional geology, with decorative river rock and colored crushed stone available from some suppliers. Specialty colors and washed decorative gravels usually cost more than standard base mixes, often a modest premium per ton. Consider nearby homes and curb appeal when choosing color, and ask suppliers for photos or sample bags to confirm appearance before ordering.

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