In Wrens you’ll commonly see crushed stone (#57), crusher-run or binder (screenings mixed with fines), and pea gravel used for walkways and decorative areas. #57 is popular for structural driveways, crusher-run is used for a stable base layer, and pea gravel is chosen for walkways or finished surfaces where appearance matters. Regional suppliers often stock these common mixes, but exact color and texture vary with local geology.

A typical single-car driveway (about 10–12 ft wide by 40–50 ft long) usually requires between about 6 and 12 tons of gravel depending on the total compacted depth you choose. A double-car driveway (about 18–20 ft by 40–50 ft) commonly needs roughly 12–24 tons. These are approximate ranges—use Hello Gravel’s material calculator or contact our team with your dimensions and desired depth for a precise amount.

Wrens’ hot, humid summers and periodic heavy rainstorms increase the risk of washouts, rutting, and vegetation growth in gravel surfaces. Good drainage, a proper compacted base, and periodic raking or topping off of washed-out spots will extend gravel life; expect more maintenance after heavy rains. Using crushed stone with angular particles helps interlock the surface and resist movement in this climate.

Contractors in the Wrens area commonly prepare a driveway by excavating organic soil, installing a geotextile fabric if needed, laying and compacting a 4–6 inch base of crusher-run or crushed stone, and finishing with 1–2 inches of #57 or pea gravel. They also shape a slight crown or slope for drainage and compact each layer with a plate or roller. Proper edge restraint and attention to cross slope dramatically reduce future maintenance in local clay soils.

Permit and HOA requirements vary—some unincorporated areas of Jefferson County don’t require a permit for a residential gravel driveway, while municipalities or HOAs may have rules about driveway surface, width, or setbacks. Before ordering materials, check Jefferson County planning or your city hall and review any HOA covenants. If in doubt, our team recommends confirming requirements and saving any approval documents before scheduling delivery.

Jefferson County commonly has clay-rich, red soils that hold water and can lead to poor drainage and rutting if a gravel driveway is placed directly on native soil. That makes excavation, geotextile installation, and a thick, compacted aggregate base especially important to prevent sinking and washouts. For sites with standing water or heavy clay, contractors often use additional depth or improved sub-base materials to stabilize the surface.

Hello Gravel typically delivers by tri-axle dump truck, which commonly carries about 12–15 tons; smaller local dump trucks are used when road access or site constraints require them. Our minimum order is 3 tons, and delivery fees or surcharges can apply for very short runs, tight access, or long-haul distances. When you enter your address we show available truck size options and any extra fees associated with access or distance.

Suppliers and haulers often apply extra charges for deliveries that exceed standard haul distances, require deadhead miles, or need special access like long driveway pulls or narrow lanes. While exact distance thresholds vary by supplier, many regional haulers factor in extra fees past roughly 20–30 miles from the quarry. Hello Gravel displays any applicable delivery surcharges in your quote so you can see total cost up front.

Gravel is usually the lowest upfront cost and offers excellent drainage but requires ongoing maintenance like periodic regrading and topping. Asphalt has higher initial cost and lower maintenance for rideability, but it can be more expensive and may trap water without proper sub-base and drainage. Crushed concrete can be a cost-effective, recycled alternative that offers good compaction; however, regional availability and local grading needs determine whether it’s better for your site in Wrens’ wet, clay-prone conditions.

Plan for routine maintenance such as filling washouts after heavy rains, periodic grading to restore crown, adding new material every 2–5 years depending on traffic, and removing weeds along edges. Good initial construction—proper base, drainage, and compaction—reduces the frequency of repairs. If you see deep ruts or standing water, address drainage and base stability before adding more surface gravel.
