Gravel in Whitesburg, GA

For driveways and drainage in Whitesburg's clay soils and humid climate, crushed stone (#57 or 3/4" clean crushed stone) and crushed limestone are common choices because they compact well and shed water. Pea gravel is attractive but shifts more easily and is better for decorative paths or patios than main driveways. For areas with poor drainage, include a base of larger aggregate (1-2") and a crushed stone top layer to help water move through.

Typical per-ton prices in West Georgia for common gravels range roughly $25 to $60 per ton depending on type (e.g., crushed limestone, #57, or pea gravel). Delivery fees vary by distance, order size, and supplier; many local orders qualify for free or low-cost delivery from Hello Gravel, while remote or small orders can add $25 to $100. Always check your zip code and the checkout estimate for an exact price.

For a typical 1-car driveway (about 10' x 20') you will need roughly 1.5 to 3.5 cubic yards, which equals about 3 to 5 tons depending on depth and material; Hello Gravel’s minimum order is 3 tons. For a standard 2-car driveway (about 20' x 20') expect 3.7 to 7.5 cubic yards, or about 5 to 11 tons depending on depth and material. Use a material calculator to enter your exact dimensions and preferred depth (3" is common for top layer; 4-6" for a full base) for a precise estimate.

Small patios (10' x 10') at a 2-3" base typically require about 1 to 2 cubic yards, or roughly 1.5 to 3 tons depending on the gravel type. Garden beds and pathways often use 1/2 to 1 cubic yard for edging or accents. Because Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum, consider combining nearby projects or adding complementary material to reach the minimum without excess waste.

Hello Gravel connects you with vetted local suppliers and contracted haulers that serve Whitesburg and Carroll County, so the fastest way to find options is to enter your zip code on our site or contact our team. Many local trucking contractors also offer tailgate spreading at the driver's discretion; request spreading in Order Notes at checkout and the driver will assess feasibility on arrival. For specialized spreading or compacting services, ask for referrals to local landscapers or contractors when you order.

In Whitesburg’s humid climate and clay-heavy soils, gravel driveways are prone to rutting and washouts after heavy rains, so occasional regrading with a rake or box blade and adding fresh stone (1" to 2") every 2 to 5 years is common. Improve longevity by installing proper drainage (ditches, culverts, or a compacted base of larger stone) and firm edges to prevent spread. Regular removal of weeds and keeping a slight crown in the driveway center helps water run off and reduces potholes.

A well-built gravel driveway in Whitesburg can last 10 to 20 years before major rebuilding is needed, but it will require periodic topping and maintenance. Lifespan depends on soil drainage, traffic level, material type, base thickness, and winter/erosion events—poor drainage and heavy truck traffic shorten life. Proper base preparation, drainage, and occasional replenishment of stone are the biggest factors in extending service life.

Up-front, gravel is usually the least expensive option for Whitesburg driveways, often a fraction of asphalt or concrete per square foot, and pavers are typically the most expensive. Long-term, gravel requires more regular maintenance (regrading and adding stone), while asphalt and concrete need less frequent but often costlier repairs or resurfacing. If budget and quick installation are priorities, gravel is attractive; if low maintenance and a smooth surface are critical, asphalt or concrete may be worth the higher initial cost.

Measure your area and use Hello Gravel’s material calculator to get a recommended quantity; remember our minimum order is 3 tons and deliveries are typically by tri-axle dump truck. Provide clear access notes and mark any obstructions in Order Notes, request tailgate spreading if desired (driver discretion), and choose a delivery date at checkout—standard delivery is 2+ business days, with next-day available for qualifying orders. When the truck arrives, have someone on site to direct the driver and confirm the dump location to avoid damage to lawns, septic fields, or buried utilities.

Gravel appearance varies by local geology, so materials sourced in West Georgia and Carroll County may differ in color, texture, and fines compared with photos. Natural variation is normal; you can add color or texture preferences in Order Notes but exact matches are not guaranteed. If the material seems inconsistent with your order, contact Hello Gravel promptly and we will work with our supplier to address concerns.

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