Gravel in Jacksboro, TN

A 12x40 ft driveway has 480 square feet. At 2" depth you need about 2.96 cubic yards (roughly 4.15 tons), at 3" about 4.44 cubic yards (about 6.22 tons), and at 4" about 5.93 cubic yards (about 8.30 tons). These use a common conversion of roughly 1.4 tons per cubic yard; exact weight varies by gravel type.

For Jacksboro, angular crushed stone mixes like crusher run or a compacted #57 base with a 3/4" crushed stone surface perform best because they lock together and shed water. Pea gravel and smooth river rock are less ideal for driveways because they shift and wash out more in heavy summer rains. Regional sourcing means texture and color may vary locally.

Jacksboro soils often include sticky clay that holds water, so start by grading for drainage and creating a crowned surface or side swales to move water away. Install a geotextile fabric if the subgrade is soft, then add 4-6" of compactable road base (crusher run) compacted in lifts before a 2-3" wearing layer. Consider edge restraints and simple French drains where runoff concentrates.

Gravel has the lowest upfront cost and is quickest to install in Jacksboro, but it needs periodic maintenance like regrading and top-ups. Asphalt and concrete cost more upfront, require less frequent routine maintenance, and generally last longer but have higher repair costs when damaged. Which is best depends on budget, desired look, and how much maintenance you want to perform over time.

Gravel prices vary with type and local availability, but a typical range for common crushed stone or base materials in West Tennessee is roughly $20 to $60 per ton. Delivery fees depend on distance, truck routing, and order size; short local hauls often add a modest fee while longer rural deliveries increase cost. Hello Gravel shows transparent pricing at checkout and has a 3-ton minimum, so you can see exact material and delivery charges for your zip code before you buy.

Many suppliers in Tennessee price gravel by the ton, though some list cubic yard pricing. A practical conversion is about 1.4 tons per cubic yard for common crushed stone, but actual weight varies by material and moisture content. Use Hello Gravel's material calculator or the supplier quote to get exact numbers for your chosen product.

For heavy use, use a thick, compacted base of crusher run or 1-1/2" minus stone (4-8" or more depending on load), topped with angular 3/4" crushed stone for a wearing surface. Proper compaction and a geotextile membrane will help prevent rutting and migration. For driveways that see RVs or tractors, increase base thickness and consider larger-diameter aggregate under the subbase.

Expect to perform light maintenance annually and a refresh every 1-3 years depending on traffic and weather. Common tasks are regrading to fix ruts and washouts, adding 1-2 inches of new surface gravel (a 12x40 driveway topped by 1" is roughly 2.1 tons), and addressing weeds or drainage issues. Costs are modest for DIY topping; hired regrading or spreading will add labor or machine rental costs.

Freeze-thaw cycles are less severe in Jacksboro than farther north, but heavy summer storms can cause washouts and migration. To reduce problems, build a stable, compacted base, use angular crushed stone that locks together, grade the surface to shed water, and add edge restraints or small swales where water concentrates. Routine regrading after big storms helps maintain a flat, well-drained surface.

Hello Gravel connects you with local West Tennessee suppliers and haulers so materials are sourced regionally and reflect local geology. Minimums and fees depend on the supplier and distance, but Hello Gravel generally requires a 3-ton minimum and shows any delivery fees at checkout. Because delivery is by dump truck (typically tri-axle), placement location, drive access, and distance from the quarry affect cost and feasibility.

Check Campbell County zoning or Jacksboro municipal codes for driveway setbacks, right-of-way rules, and stormwater requirements, and review your HOA covenants if you have one. Some local jurisdictions or HOAs restrict materials, require permits for new driveways, or set appearance standards. When in doubt, contact the county or HOA and mention your planned material and thickness before ordering.

For moderate to heavy traffic, start with 4-6" of compactable road base (crusher run) installed and compacted in 2" to 3" lifts, then add a 2-3" wearing layer of angular crushed stone and compact again. Use a mechanical plate compactor or roller for each lift, and address soft spots by excavating and replacing with compacted base. Proper grading for drainage is equally important to extend the surface life.
