Gravel, Sand & Bulk Material Delivery in Cumberland City, TN

Pick material based on function and appearance: durability and drainage for driveways, fine texture for patios, and fill ability for grading. Consider the whole group of gravel, sand, dirt, stone as options and match size/compaction needs to your project. Ask about local samples since West Tennessee material colors and textures vary by supplier.

Prices vary by material type, quantity, and delivery distance, but a typical delivered range in West Tennessee is roughly $30 to $70 per ton as a starting estimate. Small orders and next-day delivery can add fees; Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum and transparent pricing at checkout. For an exact cost, get a quote with your zip code and delivery date.

Cumberland City sits in a humid region where heavy rain and seasonal wetness influence compaction and erosion. Choose materials that drain well for areas that collect water and use more compactable mixes for driveways to resist rutting. Expect local suppliers to offer materials that reflect regional geology, so plan for variation in color and texture.

Standard delivery is usually 2+ business days; next-day delivery is often available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Local suppliers and haulers commonly operate within 25 to 50 miles of Cumberland City, but exact service areas vary—check availability by entering your zip code. Hello Gravel coordinates scheduling and will confirm your delivery window after you order.

Yes. Avoid placing fine materials or heavy deliveries during prolonged wet periods because trucks can rut yards and materials may not compact properly. Summers are good for fast-drying projects; spring and fall can bring rain that delays delivery or installation. Schedule delivery for dry days when possible and consider staging areas and erosion control if work is planned for rainy seasons.

Measure the area in square feet, decide the depth in feet, multiply to get cubic feet, then divide by 27 to get cubic yards. As a rule of thumb, multiply cubic yards by about 1.3 to estimate tons (this varies by material). For example, a 12 ft by 50 ft driveway at 3 inches deep needs about 5.6 cubic yards, roughly 7 tons—always round up and add 5-10% for waste or compaction.

Many suppliers focus on delivery and do not provide installation, but they or Hello Gravel may be able to share contractor referrals or local installers. Ask for referrals when you request a quote or contact our sales team for guidance. Referral availability varies by area and is not a guaranteed service.

Permit needs depend on the project: driveway changes, large fills, or grading near waterways often require city or county approval. Check with the Cumberland City or Stewart County building and zoning offices before starting large jobs. If unsure, call local authorities or your contractor to confirm permit requirements.

If you want control over costs and enjoy DIY work, buying materials and doing the installation yourself can save money for smaller projects. Hiring a contractor makes sense for larger or technical jobs, or when permits and drainage solutions are needed; contractors handle site prep, compaction, and cleanup. Compare the total cost of materials plus time versus contractor bids, and ask suppliers for quantity estimates to get accurate quotes.

Steep slopes, concentrated runoff, and clay-rich soils can increase erosion risk in the area. Choose coarser materials from the gravel, sand, dirt, stone group for improved drainage, add geotextile fabric where needed, and plan grading or drains to direct water away from structures. For persistent runoff, consider professional drainage solutions like swales or French drains.

Make sure driveways and staging areas can accommodate heavy dump trucks and that overhead obstacles are cleared. Drivers may be able to do tailgate spreading at their discretion, but it is not guaranteed—request the service at checkout and prepare for the driver to assess site safety on arrival. If precise placement or spreading is required, hire a local installer or plan to spread material after delivery.

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

The minimum order size is 3 tons.
