Materials for Senoia Projects

Patios and flatwork fail at the bedding, not the surface. Build the base right and pavers stay flat for years. Graded aggregate base does the heavy lifting under the slab.

GAB (Graded Aggregate Base) is the standard Georgia base material. Compact it in lifts under patios and pads. Then set the bedding.

• Screenings, also called granite dust or M10, for paver and flagstone bedding and leveling. A thin bed screeds flat and locks pavers in place.
• Mason Sand for brick and block work and paver joints. Tamp it into the joints and sweep the surface clean.
• #57 Granite for drainage behind walls and under a patio edge. Georgia #57 is usually Crushed Stone.
• #89 Crushed Stone for walkways, paths and tight paver joints where small stone fits.
• Crusher Run, also called crush and run, for a compacting, binding base under pads and patios.

Wet clay under a thin base ruts, and the pavers follow it down. Excavate deep enough, then compact in lifts.

Ground and Conditions in Senoia

A patio that sinks usually shows the same failure first: a rutted edge, then rocking pavers. The cause is a base laid too thin over wet clay.

Red clay subsoil here formed from weathered granite and gneiss. Past erosion left little topsoil in places, and hard rock sits close to the surface. Clay sheds water fast off slopes but holds it once saturated. Flat spots stay wet, and a base on wet clay turns soft under load.

Fix it with depth, drainage and compaction. Excavate to full base depth, use #57 granite or drain rock as a drainage layer, and compact in lifts. Bare red clay also washes away quickly on cut banks and new grading, so stabilize slopes before the next storm.

Work runs most of the year. Saturated clay after a long wet spell, a winter rain or tropical storm remnants is what stops trucks and base work. Light freezes are common from November into March, and freezing rain and ice are the main winter hazard. Frost depth is shallow, and the Georgia residential code sets a 12 inch minimum footing depth. Wet red clay and drainage carry your base depth here, not frost heave.

Delivery to Senoia and the Surrounding Area

Choose tons or yards before you order. Stone and gravel sell by the ton. Soil, sand and mulch often sell by the cubic yard. Know which unit your plan uses, because the two are not the same number.

Estimate quantity from length, width and depth. Convert depth to feet, multiply the three numbers, then convert to tons or yards. Round up. A short load costs you a second delivery.

Order online and set a delivery window. Bulk trucks need a clear path and a firm, dry pull-off. Soft ground after rain is the usual reason a drop gets rescheduled.

Georgia Rock Supply delivers across Coweta County, including Newnan, Grantville, Moreland and Sharpsburg.

Questions from Senoia Buyers

What gravel is best for a driveway in Senoia?

Start with graded aggregate base, called GAB, compacted in lifts. It is the standard Georgia base material. Top it with #57 granite or driveway gravel for a finished surface. On a new drive, a first course of #4 crushed stone adds stability where the ground is soft.

How much material will my project need?

Measure length and width, then set your depth in feet. Multiply the three numbers to get cubic feet, then convert to tons or cubic yards. Base depths run deeper than surface layers, so figure each lift separately. Round up so you are not short.
