Gravel, Sand & Bulk Material Delivery in Nashville, TN

Most orders in Nashville start at a 3-ton minimum.

Check your zip code on our site for exact pricing and available delivery windows.

Homeowners and contractors in Nashville commonly use a mix of gravel, sand, dirt, and stone depending on the project. Choose based on the surface you want, drainage needs, load-bearing requirements, and appearance — for example, better-draining mixes for sloped sites and more compactable mixes for driveways. If you are unsure, use our material calculator or speak with our team for project-specific guidance.

Nashville’s hot, humid summers and periodic freeze-thaw cycles can affect settling, compaction, and erosion of loose materials like gravel, sand, dirt, and stone. Good drainage, proper compaction, and occasional topping up or regrading help materials perform longer in this climate. Plan for seasonal inspections after heavy rains and late-winter freeze events to address any movement or rutting.

Spring and fall are usually the best times for deliveries and installation because weather is milder and the ground is easier to work with. Summer works too but plan around afternoon storms and hotter conditions that can affect crews and site prep; winter deliveries are possible but avoid days with freezing precipitation. For urgent needs, next-day delivery may be available if ordered before noon CST.

Coverage depends on the supplier network serving your zip code; many neighborhoods in Nashville-Davidson are covered, but outlying or hard-to-access locations may have zone restrictions or additional fees. Narrow streets, weight-limited bridges, long driveway runs, and permit requirements can add cost or limit truck access. Enter your zip code at checkout to confirm serviceability and any applicable charges.

Yes, local building codes, city permits, and HOA or historic-district rules can affect allowable surface materials, curb cuts, drainage requirements, and visual standards. In some Nashville neighborhoods you may need a permit for new driveways or significant changes, and HOAs often have material and color restrictions. Check with Metro Nashville codes and your HOA before ordering materials to avoid rework or violations.

Upfront installation cost depends on material, site prep, and required thickness — materials that need more base preparation or compaction cost more initially. Long-term maintenance varies: looser surfaces may require periodic replenishing and grading, while well-compacted surfaces need less frequent attention but require better initial installation. Factor in drainage work, access constraints, and expected vehicle traffic when comparing total lifecycle costs.

Small homeowner projects like garden beds or short pathways commonly order the minimum (around 3 tons) up to about 10 tons. Driveways, larger landscape jobs, and contractor projects often require 10 to 50+ tons depending on length, depth, and base requirements. Use our material calculator for a more accurate estimate based on area and desired depth.

Clear the intended drop area of vehicles, low branches, and obstacles, and flag any underground utilities or delicate landscaping. Tell us about narrow gates, steep driveways, low-hanging wires, or permit requirements when placing your order so suppliers can plan the right truck and crew. Drivers typically use tri-axle dump trucks and will place material where it can safely be dumped; tailgate spreading is available at the driver's discretion if requested at checkout.

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.
