Delivery fees, next-day service, or tailgate spreading requests can change the final price.

For clay soils in West Georgia, use a layered approach: crusher-run (dense grade aggregate) for a compactable base, then 3/4" crushed stone or #57 stone as a wearing surface; a 1"-3/4" top layer helps drainage and traction. Pea gravel is attractive but tends to migrate on clay and may need edging; local suppliers often mix materials to suit the region's wet seasons and clay subgrades.

Multiply the driveway area (ft2) by depth (ft) to get cubic feet, divide by 27 to get cubic yards, then multiply by about 1.4 to convert cubic yards to tons (tons/yd3 varies by material). Example: a 24 ft x 24 ft driveway at 3" depth = 576 ft2 x 0.25 ft = 144 ft3 = 5.33 yd3 ≈ 7.5 tons. Remember Hello Gravel's 3-ton minimum and round up for settling and waste.

Installation costs vary by site conditions, but ballpark figures for Trion: grading and site prep $200 to $800, base material and compaction $0.75 to $3.00 per sq ft, and overall installed gravel driveways commonly run $2 to $6 per sq ft depending on access and drainage work. Get at least two local contractor quotes because steep driveways, heavy clay, or need for culverts/permit work will increase costs.

With proper base, drainage, and periodic upkeep, a gravel driveway in Trion typically performs well for many years but will need maintenance; expect light maintenance (raking, filling low spots) every 1 year and more substantial regrading or adding 1 to 2 inches of new gravel every 2 to 4 years. Heavy rainfall seasons or poor drainage on clay soils will increase maintenance frequency.

Gravel is the lowest upfront cost and easiest to repair, but requires ongoing maintenance and may dust or rut in heavy rain. Asphalt has moderate cost and smoother driving surface with 15 to 20 year life with resurfacing, while concrete has higher upfront cost and long life (25+ years) but can be less forgiving on freeze/thaw or poorly drained subgrades. Choose based on budget, expected traffic, local drainage, and long-term maintenance willingness.

Use clean, washed stone for drainage: 3/4" to 1 1/2" clean gravel or 3/4" crushed stone around perforated pipe is common because it allows water to flow while resisting fine clogging. Avoid fines or crusher-run directly against the pipe; add a layer of filter fabric to keep silt out. Local soils in Trion are often clayey, so good backfill and fabric improve long-term performance.

Rules vary: the City of Trion and Chattooga County may have regulations related to driveway connections, stormwater, or right-of-way work, and some neighborhood HOAs have material or appearance rules. Before you start, check with Trion city hall and review any local HOA covenants; if you ordered through Hello Gravel, tell our team and we can note your delivery and potential access constraints.

For small slope protection and pathways use 3/8" to 3/4" crushed stone; for channel lining and moderate erosion control use 1" to 3" stone; for steep slopes or high-flow areas use riprap pieces 3" to 12" or larger depending on velocity. Combine stone with geotextile fabric and vegetation where possible, and consult a local contractor for steep or concentrated flow areas.

Deliveries in Trion are made by contracted dump trucks (typically tri-axle); plan for a 2+ business day standard window or request next-day before noon CST for an extra fee. Ensure the truck can access the drop area, avoid soft lawn crossings, note exact delivery location in Order Notes, and request tailgate spreading at checkout if desired (drivers may do it at their discretion).

Hello Gravel sources materials regionally, so color, texture, and grain can vary based on local geology in West Georgia. Natural variation is normal; if color or size is important, add your preference in Order Notes or contact our team for samples or photos of currently available stock.

This involves pulling the truck forward as material is being dumped to make it easier for you to distribute material after delivery.

The minimum order size is 3 tons.
