Gravel in Dandridge, TN

Delivered gravel prices in Dandridge usually vary by material and truck size, but expect roughly $30 to $60 per ton for common landscaping gravel delivered to a small town. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order and offers standard delivery in 2+ business days, with next-day available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Exact pricing depends on the gravel type, access to the site, and local supplier rates, so get a quote for a precise number.

As a rule of thumb, a 10-yard load (about 14 tons) will typically cost between $420 and $840 delivered, a 12-yard load (about 17 tons) between $510 and $1,020, and a 20-yard load (about 28 tons) between $840 and $1,680. These ranges assume $30-$60 per ton for common gravel and include delivery variability in rural Tennessee. Prices vary by supplier, material grade, and delivery logistics, so request a local quote through Hello Gravel for an exact price.

If you have a truck and trailer and can pick up from a local quarry, self-pickup is often the cheapest because you avoid delivery fees. However, for most homeowners in Dandridge, arranging delivery through Hello Gravel can be the easiest and sometimes similarly priced because we compare local suppliers and haulers. Consider pickup only if you can safely transport and unload the material yourself and if quarries are within reasonable driving distance.

Loose rounded gravel often has a lower material cost than crushed stone, but crushed stone (crusher-run or crushed rock) usually compacts and locks together better for driveways, reducing future maintenance. In many cases crushed stone gives better long‑term value in Tennessee's variable weather and drainage conditions even if the upfront price is a bit higher. Choose crushed stone for a more durable surface and gravel for lower initial cost or decorative topcoat.

Using typical truck loads and densities: a 10-yard load (roughly 14 tons) covers about 1,134 sq ft at 2", 756 sq ft at 3", and 567 sq ft at 4". A 20-yard load (roughly 28 tons) covers about 2,268 sq ft at 2", 1,512 sq ft at 3", and 1,134 sq ft at 4". These are approximate and depend on the actual material density and how tightly the gravel is compacted.

No — 2 inches of loose gravel is generally too thin for a driveway in Dandridge. For a durable driveway you should plan on a multi-layer approach: a 4-6 inch compacted base of larger crushed stone and a 2-3 inch compacted topcoat of finer crushed stone, with proper drainage and edge restraints. Local soil, traffic level, and drainage will affect thickness, so consider a thicker base in wetter or softer areas.

For materials and delivery only (no labor), a 20x20 area (400 sq ft) at 3" depth needs about 7.4 tons of gravel, usually costing roughly $220 to $450 delivered. A 100x100 area (10,000 sq ft) at 3" depth needs about 185 tons, which would likely cost in the neighborhood of $5,500 to $11,000 for materials and delivery. These are material-only estimates using regional per-ton ranges; final numbers depend on the exact gravel type, access fees, and number of truckloads required.

For 1,000 sq ft the estimates are: about 12.3 tons (8.8 cu yd) at 2" depth, about 18.5 tons (13.2 cu yd) at 3" depth, and about 24.7 tons (17.6 cu yd) at 4" depth. Use the formula tons = area(ft^2) * depth(in) / 162 for quick planning, and remember Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order. Always order a little extra (5-10%) to account for compaction and uneven subgrade.

A 10-yard load of common gravel delivered to a small city near Dandridge typically runs between $420 and $840, using a per-ton range of about $30-$60. This estimate depends on the gravel type, delivery distance, site access, and whether any fees apply for difficult drops. For an accurate price, check your zip code on Hello Gravel and request a local quote.

Cheaper alternatives may include recycled asphalt millings, crusher run (screenings) or reclaimed aggregate, which can cost less and provide good compaction if installed correctly. Keep in mind that long-term durability and maintenance differ; some recycled materials may rut or need more frequent topping. Always weigh upfront savings against expected maintenance in Dandridge's seasonal conditions.

Yes—stabilized or resin-bound gravels and permeable bound systems exist that lock gravel into a firm surface and significantly reduce migration. These systems cost substantially more than loose gravel; installed prices commonly range from several dollars to $15+ per sq ft depending on product and labor. For a precise quote for Dandridge projects, contact local installers or request contractor recommendations through Hello Gravel.

A common, durable layering is 4-6 inches of 3/4" to 1-1/2" crushed stone for a base, 2-3 inches of crusher-run or 3/8" binder stone for a binder layer, and a 1-2 inch topcoat of #57 crushed stone or fine crushed stone for the wearing surface. Local suppliers in Tennessee may offer regional blends, so ask about available grades and how they perform in local soils and drainage conditions. Proper compaction and edge restraint are as important as the grades you choose for long-lasting results.
