Gravel in Dover, TN

Delivered price depends on gravel type and local supplier; basic landscape gravel in Dover typically runs about $25 to $45 per cubic yard (roughly $18 to $33 per ton), while specialty rock (river rock, colored stone) can be $50 to $80+ per cubic yard. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order and many deliveries are free in-service areas; final price depends on your zip code, material choice, and any expedited delivery fees.

One cubic yard covers about 162 sq ft at 2", 108 sq ft at 3", and 81 sq ft at 4". One ton of typical gravel in our region is roughly 0.74 cubic yards, so expect about 120 sq ft at 2", 80 sq ft at 3", and 60 sq ft at 4"; actual coverage varies with material density and compaction.

For a residential driveway in Dover we generally recommend 3 to 4 inches of compacted gravel for the driving surface, with a compacted base beneath if traffic is frequent or soils are soft. Two inches can work for low-use paths or decorative areas, but it is thin for a driveway and more prone to migration and rutting in wet conditions common after heavy rains.

A 20' x 30' driveway (600 sq ft) at 3" needs about 5.5 cubic yards (round up to 6); a 20' x 50' driveway (1,000 sq ft) at 3" needs about 9.3 cubic yards (round up to 10). Using a common price range of $30 to $60 per cubic yard, expect material-and-delivery estimates of about $180 to $360 for the 30' example and $300 to $600 for the 50' example, plus any local delivery or next-day fees and any spreading charges.

For driveways we recommend 3/4" crushed stone or #57 crushed stone for a stable, interlocking surface; for sub-base use larger crushed base or bank-run material. For drainage and French drains use clean 3/4" to 1" washed stone or river rock; for decorative landscaping use pea gravel, 3/8" crushed stone, or river rock depending on look. Hello Gravel works with local suppliers, so commonly available products like crushed limestone, #57, pea gravel, and river rock are typically offered, but availability varies by zip code.

Weeds can grow through 3 inches of gravel, especially with seed and moisture in Dover's humid climate. We recommend installing a durable geotextile weed barrier and preparing a compacted base (4" or more) for long-term control; regular maintenance or landscape fabric plus an herbicide treatment can further reduce regrowth.

Hello Gravel delivers to Dover where our supplier network is active; check your zip code at checkout or contact our team to confirm service. Standard delivery lead time is 2+ business days with next-day available for orders placed before noon CST for a fee; many areas have free delivery but final fees depend on location. Typical dump trucks are tri-axle and need safe driveway access and enough turning room, no low overhead wires, and you should expect a minimum order of 3 tons or a minimum charge.

Gravel can help with surface drainage and infiltration when used in swales, French drains, or dry creek beds; washed 3/4" to 1" stone is commonly used for those applications. For a French drain you typically need 6 to 12 inches of stone wrapped in geotextile, while surface swales may use 4 to 6 inches; for properties in floodplain areas near the Cumberland River, check local floodplain rules and permits before major work.

Four cubic yards of gravel covers about 648 sq ft at 2", 432 sq ft at 3", and 324 sq ft at 4". A typical small driveway (20' wide by 30' long) at 3" needs about 6 cubic yards, so 4 cubic yards would usually be short for most driveways but fine for walkways, patios, or small garden areas.

Yes, Dover and Stewart County may have rules about driveway approaches, drainage, and work in floodplains; state or county road approaches may require permits from Tennessee Department of Transportation or the county. If you belong to an HOA, check its covenants for allowed surface materials, visible rock types, and setbacks. We recommend contacting local county offices or your HOA before ordering and asking Hello Gravel for any delivery or placement notes to meet requirements.

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