Gravel in Upatoi, GA

Many Hello Gravel orders meet our minimum and qualify for free or low-cost delivery, but fees can vary in rural Upatoi. When a fee applies, expect a range roughly around $50 to $150 depending on distance, jobsite access, and truck type. Remote or tight-access jobs can be higher due to specialized trucks or extra labor.

For driveways in Upatoi, the most common choices are 3/4" crushed stone or #57 crushed stone because they lock together and compact well. Pea gravel and river rock are popular for walkways and decorative areas where smooth footing and appearance matter, but they do not compact like crushed stone. Crushed limestone is often chosen where a solid, compactable base is needed.

Hello Gravel requires a minimum order of 3 tons. Deliveries are usually made by tri-axle dump trucks (commonly carrying about 12-14 tons), but smaller tandem or single-axle trucks may be used for tight rural drives and typically carry 6-10 tons. If access is restricted, suppliers may use smaller trucks and that can affect delivery cost or staging location.

Upatoi and much of West Georgia have clay-rich soils that drain slowly, so choosing angular, well-graded gravel (like crushed stone) helps create stable, permeable surfaces. For driveways or drainage trenches, use larger angular stone for sub-base and a coarser layer or drain rock (1"-2") in trenches to encourage water flow. Consider adding a layer of geotextile fabric to separate gravel from native clay and reduce mixing that causes poor drainage.

Gravel prices in West Georgia tend to rise in spring and early summer when landscaping and construction demand peaks. Buying in late fall or winter can sometimes yield better rates and faster scheduling. However, local supply, weather events, and fuel prices also influence costs, so check current pricing and availability in your zip code.

A standard 2-car driveway (about 20' x 40') will usually need about 8 to 14 tons of gravel depending on whether you place 3" or 4" of material and the desired base depth. A small 12' x 12' patio typically needs about 1 to 2 tons, while a 50-foot drainage trench usually requires 1 to 3 tons depending on trench width and depth. Use our material calculator or contact the Hello Gravel team for a quick, site-specific estimate.

Gravel has a much lower upfront cost than asphalt, making it attractive for Upatoi homeowners, but it requires ongoing maintenance like grading and topping up material every few years. Asphalt costs more initially but usually needs less frequent full-surface maintenance; however, repairs or resurfacing will be more expensive when needed. Over 10 years, gravel can be cheaper overall if you are willing to perform regular maintenance, while asphalt can be a better long-term investment if you prefer a low-maintenance surface.

In Upatoi's climate, expect to grade and re-level a gravel driveway at least once a year and add 1 to 3 tons of gravel every 2 to 5 years depending on traffic and drainage. Routine maintenance is mostly labor and small material purchases; the material cost for topping up is usually modest compared with repaving options. Good drainage, proper base preparation, and periodic grading greatly reduce long-term upkeep needs.

You can request tailgate spreading at checkout, but drivers perform spreading only at their discretion and only if it can be done safely on arrival. For rural Upatoi jobs with limited access or precise placement needs, discuss staging and placement details with our team before delivery so suppliers can plan accordingly. We do not guarantee spreading services.

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

We cannot get out of the truck and manually spread it. However, depending on the location, safety, and comfortability of the driver – we may be able to tailgate spread your material. 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.
