Gravel in Wadley, GA

Prices vary by material and local supplier, but expect roughly $25 to $75 per ton (about $20 to $60 per cubic yard) for common gravels in the West Georgia region. Delivery fees and minimums affect the final price; Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum and standard delivery is usually included in many ZIPs, with next-day delivery available for an extra fee. Always check your ZIP code on our site and compare per-ton price, delivery fee, and material spec before ordering.

For Wadley’s clay soils, angular crushed stone (for example 3/4" crushed stone or #57) over a compacted base performs best because it locks together and resists rutting. Avoid loose pea gravel as a top surface on clay; instead use a compacted base of larger stone (4-6") topped with 1-2" of crushed fines for a stable, drainable surface. Adding geotextile fabric and proper grading helps prevent washouts on rolling terrain.

A 10x40 ft driveway is 400 square feet. At 2" depth you need about 2.5 cubic yards (≈3.2 tons); at 3" depth about 3.7 cubic yards (≈4.8 tons); and at 4" depth about 4.9 cubic yards (≈6.4 tons). These are approximate (we use ~1.3 tons per cubic yard); order a little extra for compaction and uneven spreading and remember Hello Gravel’s 3-ton minimum.

Crushed stone is generally better for erosion control and drainage because angular particles interlock and create a stable surface while still allowing water to drain. Pea gravel is more likely to migrate and wash away in heavy rain, so use it only in low-slope landscape areas. For channels or steep runoff zones, use larger rock or engineered erosion control (riprap, gabions, or vegetated swales) plus proper grading.

Gravel will perform well if installed with a compacted base, proper slope, and good drainage, but untreated surfaces on clay can rut or wash out after heavy rain. Expect periodic maintenance: filling low spots and regrading after major storms, and topping up lost material every few years depending on traffic. Proper initial installation greatly reduces the likelihood of frequent repairs.

Professional installation costs vary with site prep, access, and required base depth, but typical installed prices near Wadley often range from about $2.00 to $6.00 per square foot. For a 10x40 ft driveway that works out to roughly $800 to $2,400 for labor and basic grade/compaction, plus material costs (often $25-$75/ton). Get at least two local quotes and confirm scope (grading, geotextile, base depth, compaction) before hiring.

Wadley is a small community, so many suppliers and haulers operate from nearby towns or county quarries; availability depends on your ZIP code. Use Hello Gravel to check local suppliers, then compare per-ton price, delivery fee, truck size, minimum order, and material specification (stone size, crushed vs washed). Ask suppliers about how they source the material locally, estimated delivery windows, and any extra charges for unloading or spreading.

Plan for light regrading and filling every 1 to 3 years, depending on traffic and local rainfall, and a more substantial top-up of 1/2" to 1" of material every 2 to 5 years. Heavy-traffic or farm-drive use will require more frequent maintenance. Sealing is not typical for loose gravel; instead focus on good drainage, spot repairs, and occasional compaction.

Gravel can support heavy equipment if you build a thick, well-compacted base (6-12" of properly graded stone) and consider geogrid reinforcement. For very frequent heavy loads or public driveways, a paved solution may be more cost-effective long term because it needs less ongoing maintenance. Talk to local contractors about load-bearing designs tailored to your equipment and traffic patterns.

Permit and HOA rules vary; many rural Randolph County properties do not require a permit for a residential gravel driveway, but some municipalities or HOAs may have rules about surface material or driveway width. Always check with Randolph County planning or your HOA before starting work; many contractors will help with permit questions or handle permit submission as part of their service.

Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, but it is not guaranteed and depends on access, safety, and local driver policy. You can request spreading at checkout and note any access constraints in the order notes; the driver will assess the situation on arrival. If spreading is required, consider hiring a local contractor for a guaranteed installation.

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.
