Gravel in Bristol, TN

Typical gravel prices in the Bristol area vary by type and quantity, but expect roughly $35 to $75 per ton for common aggregates like crushed stone or pea gravel. Delivery, local quarry availability, and material type (river rock vs. crushed stone) affect price; check your zip code on Hello Gravel for exact pricing and note our minimum order is 3 tons.

Hello Gravel deliveries commonly use tri-axle dump trucks, which in this region typically carry about 12 to 16 tons, depending on local weight limits and material. You can order by the ton on our site and we will confirm the truck type and load on scheduling.

One ton of gravel covers roughly 100 to 115 square feet at a 2-inch depth (estimates vary with material density). For other depths, a quick rule: deeper = proportionally less area—double the depth halves the coverage—so always calculate based on your desired compacted depth.

No—2 inches is generally too thin for a long-term driveway. For a stable residential driveway in Bristol's freeze-thaw climate, contractors typically recommend a compacted base of 4 to 6 inches of crushed stone; 2 inches may be OK as a thin top dressing but won’t provide lasting support for vehicles.

It depends on width and depth. For a 100 ft long driveway at 10 ft wide and 4 inches deep you’d need about 18 to 20 tons; at 12 ft wide and 4 inches deep you’d need about 22 to 24 tons. Use your exact width and desired compacted depth to calculate, or use Hello Gravel’s material calculator for precise estimates.

Pea gravel in the Bristol region usually runs between about $40 and $80 per ton, depending on color, screening, and delivery distance from local quarries. Prices can fluctuate seasonally; check Hello Gravel for live pricing and delivery options to your zip code.

Pea gravel can shift under foot or vehicle traffic, migrate from beds without edging, and be noisy to walk on. In Bristol’s wet and freeze-prone weather it can wash or settle more quickly unless installed with a proper base and edging, so consider stabilization or a compacted base for driveways and high-traffic areas.

Gravel sold through licensed local quarries and Hello Gravel’s suppliers is subject to standard environmental and safety regulations, so contamination is uncommon. If you have concerns about a specific site (for example, if you plan to use fill on a property with known industrial history), disclose that when ordering and consult local testing or our customer service for guidance.

Seasonal demand, heavy rains or snow, quarry maintenance, and local road weight restrictions can all affect supply and delivery timing in the Bristol/Johnson City region. Expect slower turnaround after major weather events; Hello Gravel lists standard delivery as 2+ business days and offers next-day delivery for orders placed before noon CST (which is 1 pm ET).

Yes—contractors and large orders often receive more competitive per-ton pricing due to volume and repeat business. Contact Hello Gravel’s sales team (855-241-8884 or text 844-407-3734) to discuss contractor pricing, account setup, and scheduled deliveries for project timelines.

Select material by use: crushed stone or 3/4" minus for driveways, pea gravel for patios and pathways, and larger river rock for drainage or decorative beds. Consider local climate—freeze-thaw and runoff—and ask for materials that compact well for driveways or are screened for pedestrian areas; add edging to keep loose gravel contained.

Because Hello Gravel sources regionally, color and texture can vary based on local geology—this is normal for natural aggregates. If a delivered load seems significantly different or unusable, contact customer service promptly; we will review the issue and work to resolve it in line with our policies.

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.
