Gravel in Forest Hills, TN

Prices vary by stone type and delivery distance, but expect roughly $30 to $60 per ton delivered in West Tennessee for common crushed gravel. That converts to about $21 to $43 per cubic yard (one cubic yard is about 0.7 tons) depending on material, load size, and seasonal demand. For an exact price for your zip code and material choice, shop the product or request a quote on our site.

A 20 x 40 ft driveway at 3 inches requires about 7.4 cubic yards, which is roughly 10 to 12 tons of gravel depending on the rock type and moisture. We recommend ordering about 10% to 15% extra (so around 11 to 13 tons) to allow for compaction, final grading, and waste. Use our material calculator or contact our team for a precise estimate.

Generally no; two inches is usually too thin for a lasting residential driveway in Forest Hills, where local clay soils and heavy rain can cause rutting and drainage problems. A typical durable approach is 4 to 6 inches of compacted crushed stone base with a 1 to 2 inch surface layer of cleaner stone. For lighter-use paths a 2-inch top dressing may be acceptable, but proper base and drainage are recommended for driveways.

For a long-lasting driveway start with 3/4" crushed stone or crusher-run for the base (good compaction), then top with #57 stone, pea gravel, or decorative crushed stone for the surface depending on appearance and traction needs. Limestone and crushed gravel are common in West Tennessee and perform well when combined with a compacted base, good drainage, and edging. Consider geotextile fabric under the base if you have a soft or clay subgrade.

Hello Gravel delivers by dump truck to Forest Hills; tailgate spreading can be requested at checkout but is performed at the driver's discretion and is not guaranteed. Some local suppliers or third-party crews offer spreading for an additional fee — contact our sales team for a local spreading quote and include details like driveway length and access. Standard delivery is included in many areas but heavy labor or same-day spreading may incur separate charges.

Our minimum order is 3 tons. Common truck sizes serving West Tennessee include small dump trucks that carry about 6 to 8 tons, and tri-axle or end-dump trucks that typically deliver 10 to 15 tons per load; exact truck availability depends on local suppliers. If you need less than a full truck or a specific placement approach, contact our team and we will show available options for your address.

Standard delivery is 2 or more business days after ordering, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an added fee. During peak season (spring and fall) lead times can be longer, but same-week delivery is often possible depending on supplier availability. We recommend scheduling earlier for big projects and checking the checkout calendar for available dates.

Yes, Hello Gravel offers volume and contractor pricing in many areas; rates and eligibility depend on local supply and haul distances. Contractors should contact our sales team to set up account pricing, request multiple-delivery quotes, or arrange standing orders. We can also coordinate regular deliveries for ongoing projects when local suppliers can accommodate.

Coverage varies by gravel density, but a good rule of thumb for Forest Hills materials is: 1 ton covers about 230 sq ft at 1 inch depth, about 115 sq ft at 2 inches, and about 77 sq ft at 3 inches. These are approximate; use our calculator or contact us with the exact product and site conditions for a precise figure. Remember to add 10% to 15% for compaction and waste when ordering.

Regulations vary by property and HOA; Forest Hills and Davidson County may have rules about driveway permits, curb cuts, drainage, and visible surfacing, and many HOAs have covenants about material and appearance. Before installing, check with the City of Forest Hills building department and your HOA covenants to confirm any permit needs or material restrictions. If you need help, contact our team — we can point you to common local contacts but cannot provide legal or definitive permitting advice.

Account for West Tennessee's clay subsoils and seasonal rain by prioritizing drainage: slope the driveway, add a crowned center, and install edge restraints to prevent spreading. Order early in peak season, consider geotextile fabric over soft spots, and plan for a compacted crushed-stone base before adding surface stone. If you want spreading help, request it at checkout and call our team to discuss access, obstacles, and the best truck placement for your site.
