Gravel in Dyer, TN

Delivered price varies by material, supplier, and distance from quarry. Expect rough ranges of $30-45 per ton for crushed stone, $35-55 per ton for pea gravel, and $25-40 per ton for crushed limestone in West Tennessee; prices convert to about 1.4 tons per cubic yard (so multiply per-ton price by ~1.4 for a per-cubic-yard estimate). Minimum orders and local hauling fees can change final cost, so check your zip code and get a quote through Hello Gravel for an exact price.

Yes—Hello Gravel works with a network of local suppliers and haulers that commonly deliver to rural addresses around Dyer, TN.

Minimum order is 3 tons and next-day delivery may be available if ordered before noon CST.

For Dyer’s clay soil and periodic heavy rain, we recommend a properly built base: a geotextile fabric, 6-8 inches of compacted crushed stone or dense-graded base, and a 2-3 inch wearing surface of 3/4" crushed stone or crushed limestone for a total of about 8-11 inches. Good edge restraints and a crowned center for drainage reduce rutting and washout on clay soils. If drainage is poor, consider adding a subdrain or improving site grading before placing stone.

Use 1 cubic yard = 27 cubic feet and assume about 1.4 tons per cubic yard for gravel (varies by rock type). Example estimates: 2-car driveway (20' x 40') at 6" depth = ~14.8 cubic yards or ~21 tons; same driveway at 8" depth = ~19.7 cubic yards or ~28 tons. Walkway and pad examples: 3' x 30' walkway at 2" = ~0.6 cubic yards (~0.8 tons); 10' x 20' parking pad at 4" = ~6 cubic yards (~8.4 tons). These are typical starting points—use our material calculator or contact Hello Gravel for an exact quote.

Installation costs vary with site prep, drainage work, and local labor rates; expect a broad range of about $1,200 to $4,500 for a standard 2-car gravel driveway in the Dyer area. Lower-end jobs use basic grading and stone placement, while higher-end installs include geotextile, significant excavation, culverts, and professional compaction. Get local contractor estimates and factor in the cost of additional drainage or permit work if needed.

West Tennessee’s hot summers, heavy rain events, and occasional freezes increase the chance of washouts, potholes, and rutting, especially on clay subgrades found around Dyer. Expect to regrade and add fresh stone every 1-3 years for driveways and higher-traffic areas; more frequent spot repairs may be needed after heavy storms. Proper base preparation, drainage, and edge restraints will reduce maintenance frequency.

Gravel has the lowest upfront material and installation cost but requires regular maintenance; typical installed gravel costs are generally lower than asphalt or concrete. Asphalt usually costs more upfront and lasts longer with resurfacing every 10-20 years; concrete is highest upfront but can last 25-40 years with less frequent maintenance. Your choice should weigh budget, expected traffic, local drainage, and long-term maintenance willingness; gravel remains a practical, lower-cost option for many rural Dyer properties.

Permit and HOA rules vary by location—Dyer city or Lake County regulations may require permits for changes to driveways, curb cuts, or significant grading. Homeowners in subdivisions should check with any homeowner association for material and appearance rules before installation. Always call local building or zoning offices and use 811 to mark utilities before digging.

Contractors commonly use a combination of geotextile fabric, a well-compacted crushed stone sub-base (6-8 inches), a 2-3 inch wearing layer, crowned grading, edge restraints (timber, pavers, or concrete curbs), and culverts or swales to manage water. Proper compaction with a plate compactor or roller after each lift and routine regrading help prevent rutting. These measures are especially important on Dyer’s clay soils and in areas prone to concentrated runoff.

Hello Gravel offers standard dump delivery by local haulers and customers can request tailgate spreading at checkout, but spreading is performed at the truck driver's discretion and is not guaranteed. Many local contractors and haulers provide paid spreading and grading services—costs vary by job size but expect additional labor/equipment fees beyond material delivery. Minimum orders are 3 tons; contact our team for supplier-specific spreading options and an all-in installation quote.

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