Gravel in Hartford, TN

In Hartford, TN, a typical delivered load (minimum 3 tons) usually ranges from about $120 to $300 depending on gravel type, local availability, and truck size. Hello Gravel shows exact prices for your zip code and includes delivery fees and optional next-day service pricing during checkout.

Locally sourced natural gravel is often cheaper in West Tennessee because it requires less processing, but crushed stone can be competitively priced depending on supply. Check Hello Gravel for side-by-side prices for your address since regional supply and demand affect costs.

Crushed stone with angular edges (for example 3/4" crushed limestone or crushed gravel mix) is typically the most durable for driveways because it locks together when compacted. For Hartford's climate and local soils, a base layer of larger stone with a top layer of 3/4"-1/2" crushed stone is common for longevity.

You will commonly see three types: washed pea gravel (rounded, decorative), crushed stone (angular, structural), and crusher run or road base (mixed sizes with fines for compaction). Each serves different purposes: decoration, drainage, or a compacted base respectively.

One ton of gravel typically covers about 60-100 square feet at 1 inch depth, but coverage varies by gravel size and stone density. For Hartford homeowners, use 1 ton to cover roughly 50-60 sq ft at a 2-inch depth as a conservative estimate.

For light-use driveways (occasional cars), 2 inches is usually too shallow and will rut over time; 4 to 6 inches compacted over a solid base is recommended. In Hartford's clay-prone spots, adding a well-compacted base and proper drainage is especially important to prevent sinking.

A basic 20 ft long driveway (single lane, about 12 ft wide) with a 4-inch top layer of gravel commonly costs roughly $400 to $1,200 for materials and delivery, depending on gravel type and local rates. Exact pricing on Hello Gravel will reflect your chosen material, delivery fees, and any need for additional base material.

Gravel itself does not turn into concrete, but stabilized or binder-treated aggregates (products like stone dust mixed with polymer stabilizers or 'resin-bound' systems) can form a hardened surface. If you need a near-solid surface in Hartford, ask Hello Gravel about compatible aggregates and whether local suppliers offer stabilizer additives or paving options.

A tri-axle dump truck typically carries about 10-12 tons; expect material-plus-delivery costs to range widely based on stone type and distance, often $400 to $1,200 for that volume. Hello Gravel lists per-ton prices and delivery fees for your zip code so you can get an accurate delivered price before ordering.

You can place gravel directly over compacted dirt for short-term or decorative uses, but for driveways or high-traffic areas you should install a compacted base and geotextile fabric to prevent mixing and ruts. Given Hartford's local soil conditions, preparing a proper base improves drainage and extends the life of the gravel.

Cost per linear foot varies by width and depth, but a rough Hartford estimate is $3 to $12 per linear foot for materials and delivery for a standard single-lane driveway (this assumes commonly used crushed stone). For an accurate total cost use Hello Gravel's material calculator and select your driveway width, depth, and material type.

With proper installation and periodic maintenance (topping, grading, and occasional re-compaction), a gravel driveway in Hartford can last 10 to 20 years. Local factors like drainage, heavy truck use, and freeze-thaw cycles influence longevity, so addressing drainage and base preparation helps maximize life.

Yes, compacting gravel after placement produces a firmer surface and reduces future movement and ruts; use a plate compactor or a roller for best results. In Hartford, compacting is especially important on clayey soils and after adding fines or crusher run to lock the material together.
