Gravel in Cooper Town, TN

Delivered gravel prices to small West Tennessee towns vary with material type and distance. Expect delivered costs roughly in the range of $20 to $50 per ton as a ballpark, with lighter materials like pea gravel at the higher end and local crushed stone at the lower end; actual price depends on local supplier, exact haul distance, and truck access. Hello Gravel negotiates local rates and shows final pricing at checkout, and many areas may qualify for free delivery — check your zip code or request a quote for a firm number.

For West Tennessee clay soils and humid summers, angular crushed stone (#57 or crushed limestone) performs best because it locks together, sheds water, and resists rutting better than rounded gravels. Pea gravel is attractive but shifts and compacts poorly on clay; crusher-run or a base layer of 2-inch minus crushed stone under a #57 wearing layer gives a durable, well-draining surface for driveways and farm roads.

Use this simple method: multiply length (ft) by width (ft) by depth (ft), divide by 27 to get cubic yards, then multiply by 1.4 to convert cubic yards to tons (typical gravel density). Example: a 12 ft x 100 ft driveway at 3 inches (0.25 ft) needs about 11.1 cubic yards or roughly 16 tons. Always round up for settling and order minimums — Hello Gravel minimum order is 3 tons.

Farm lanes are often longer and need a thicker base: a 12 ft x 1,000 ft lane at 3 inches requires about 156 tons, while the same lane with a 4-inch compacted base may require around 208 tons. For heavy farm traffic consider 4-6 inches of compacted crusher-run as base plus a 2-3 inch wearing layer of #57; get a site-specific quote because length, existing base, and drainage change quantities.

Contractor pricing varies, but common ranges in the region are $8 to $20 per ton for spreading, grading, and compaction on top of material costs, plus a base-prep charge which often runs $800 to $3,500 depending on excavation, drainage work, and site access. Small driveways may carry a minimum service fee for mobilization; get multiple bids and confirm whether contractors include fabric, edge restraint, and compaction in their price.

Freeze-thaw and heavy rains can cause heaving, potholes, and washouts where water pools or drainage is poor. Prevent problems by building a crowned surface for runoff, maintaining side ditches, using angular crushed stone that drains well, and regrading and adding fresh material after severe weather; expect periodic maintenance every 1–3 years in this climate.

Regulations vary by county and municipality in West Tennessee, so check with Cooper Town city hall or the county highway/engineering office before adding or altering a driveway entrance. Some roads require a permit for new curb cuts, drainage work, or work within the right-of-way; your contractor or Hello Gravel sales team can help point you to the right local office.

For low spots and farm roads, use coarse, crushed stone blends with minimal fines — examples include #57 stone for a wearing layer and 2-inch minus crushed stone or 2B stone as a base. These angular, open-graded mixes shed water more readily than rounded pea gravel or mixes with high fines, and pairing them with geotextile fabric and proper grading improves long-term drainage in West Tennessee's wet conditions.

Install a compacted base of 4–6 inches of crusher-run or 2-inch minus stone, use geotextile fabric over soft ground, finish with a 2–3 inch wearing layer of #57 crushed stone, and compact each layer with a plate compactor or roller. Add edging (timber, concrete, or steel) to keep shoulders from spreading and to protect the crown; regular regrading and topping will keep the driveway stable in Cooper Town's wet climate.

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.
