Gravel, Sand & Bulk Material Delivery in Tenmile, TN

Homeowners in Tenmile commonly choose materials based on traffic, appearance, and drainage needs. For a range of uses you can compare options like gravel, sand, dirt, stone together by thinking about durability, maintenance, and how the material handles water. Consider a harder, well-draining mix for driveways and a finer, compactable option for walkways; our online tools can help you narrow choices by project type.

West Tennessee’s humid climate and clay-prone soils can hold water and cause shifting, so choose materials that shed water and resist rutting. Using well-draining mixes and proper base preparation reduces freeze-thaw and settling issues. Also plan for regular maintenance after heavy rains to keep surfaces stable.

Most deliveries have a minimum order (commonly 3 tons) and standard scheduling requires at least 2 business days. Next-day delivery is often available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee, and exact fees depend on distance and access. You can choose a preferred delivery date at checkout and we will confirm timing after the order is processed.

Plan large projects for late spring through early fall when the ground is more stable and heavy rains are less frequent. Avoid scheduling during the wettest months or right after significant storms to reduce delays from muddy access and compaction problems. If you must work in wetter seasons, build extra time into your schedule and consider materials and methods that tolerate moisture.

Local county regulations and homeowner associations can affect driveway width, curb cuts, and acceptable surface materials, so check with your county planning office or HOA before ordering. Permits are sometimes required for new driveway connections or major grading work. If you are unsure, contact local authorities early in the planning stage to avoid delays.

Material-only deliveries typically cost less because they only cover the material and hauling. Adding spreading or tailgate services increases the price to reflect labor and time, and drivers may only offer spreading at their discretion for safety reasons. Always request any spreading service at checkout and get an estimate that includes both material and labor before the job.

Because Tenmile properties can experience heavy seasonal rain, prioritize materials and grading that promote runoff away from structures and prevent erosion. Use proper slope, retainment, or swales where needed and consider adding a compacted base or geotextile to stabilize slopes. Good drainage planning reduces long-term maintenance and prevents washouts.

Measure the area in square feet and decide on depth in inches, then convert to cubic yards using a simple formula: (area x depth in inches) / 324. Because materials settle and compact, add 5-15% extra depending on the material and site conditions. Use our online material calculator or contact our team for help with conversions and recommendations.

Many local suppliers deliver to rural Tenmile addresses, but trucks need safe access and sufficient overhead and width clearance. Typical requirements include a firm approach road, 12-14 feet of vertical clearance, and a turnaround or safe place for a tri-axle truck to stop. If you have gates, narrow driveways, or steep approaches, include notes at checkout and contact the delivery coordinator to confirm access.

Compare how often a material will need replenishing, regrading, or weeding and whether it requires special equipment for upkeep. Permeable and natural surfaces may need more frequent top-ups but allow better drainage, while more compacted or paved options may reduce short-term maintenance but raise upfront costs. Factor in local weather, traffic levels, and how much time you want to spend on upkeep when choosing a material.

Contact customer service as soon as possible to request changes or cancellations; modifications are easiest before the order is dispatched. We will make our best effort to accommodate requests, but changes after processing or after the truck is scheduled may not be possible. Include clear details like address, zip code, and order number to speed up the process.

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.
