Gravel in South Pittsburg, TN

For residential projects in South Pittsburg expect a broad range depending on material and distance: roughly $20 to $55 per ton delivered. Prices vary by gravel type (crushed stone vs. decorative rock), local quarry supply, and whether the delivery meets Hello Gravel's 3-ton minimum. Use our checkout or call 855-241-8884 for an exact quote for your zip code.

Common choices in this region are 3/4" crushed stone or #57 for driveways (good compaction and drainage), #411 or crusher-run for a stable base, pea gravel or river rock for patios and decorative areas, and larger rip-rap or river rock for erosion control. Crushed limestone is common locally and compacts well but may show regional color variation. Pick materials based on function: drainage and compaction for driveways, smooth surface for patios, and large rounded rock for erosion protection.

Contractor-installed gravel driveways in West Tennessee commonly range widely based on scope: expect roughly $2 to $6 per square foot installed for a typical residential driveway, which includes grading, base material, and compaction. Factors that raise cost include poor soil (deep clay), long haul distances for material, drainage work, and large equipment for grading. Get written quotes from several contractors and confirm whether the quote includes material, delivery, grading, and compaction.

South Pittsburg's soils often have clay and silt that retain water, so you should prioritize drainage: a well-graded base, angular crushed stone, and possibly geotextile fabric help prevent rutting and frost heave. Freeze-thaw cycles here are milder than in northern climates but can still cause movement in poorly drained areas, so slope your surface and include drainage swales or culverts where needed. Choose aggregates that shed water and compact well rather than rounded rock that shifts easily.

For a typical residential driveway in South Pittsburg, install a compacted base of 4 to 6 inches of crusher-run or #411, topped with 2 to 3 inches of #57 or 3/4" stone for the wearing surface. For heavy-use driveways or parking areas increase total compacted thickness to 8 to 12 inches. Walkways and patios can use 2 to 3 inches of surface stone over a firm 2 to 4 inch base; compact materials in 2- to 3-inch lifts with a plate compactor or roller for best results.

Measure length x width x desired depth in feet, divide by 27 to get cubic yards, then multiply by a conversion factor to get tons. Suppliers commonly use about 1.3 to 1.5 tons per cubic yard depending on rock type and moisture; a good rule is 1.4 tons per cubic yard. Example: a 40 ft x 10 ft driveway at 6 inches (0.5 ft) is 40x10x0.5/27 = 7.41 cubic yards, or about 7.41 x 1.4 = 10.4 tons (round up and add 5-10% for waste and compaction).

Spring and fall are the busiest seasons for landscape and driveway work, so order early to secure your preferred date. Hello Gravel standard delivery is typically 2 or more business days, with next-day delivery available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Weather, quarry schedules, and local demand can affect lead times, so schedule at least a few days ahead for larger orders.

Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion; request this service at checkout and note it in Order Notes. Drivers will assess safety and site access upon arrival, and Hello Gravel does not guarantee spreading services. If spreading is essential, arrange and confirm with your contractor or plan to rent a small loader or hire spreading labor.

Provide the exact delivery address, clear drop location with photos if possible, preferred delivery date, and any access notes (gates, low wires, tight turns) so the hauler can plan. Note material preferences (color or gravel type) and request tailgate spreading if desired, understanding it may not be possible. Call 855-241-8884 or text 844-407-3734 if you need help choosing material or calculating quantities.

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.
