Gravel in Primmsprings, TN

Local delivered gravel prices to Primmsprings typically range from about $30 to $75 per ton depending on the material (basic crushed stone is cheaper, decorative or washed products cost more). Expect an additional flat delivery fee for rural routes; that fee commonly runs from about $50 to $200 depending on distance and truck size. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum and shows exact delivered pricing during checkout for your zip code.

For driveways, crushed stone mixes like crusher run and #57 are the most common because they compact well and shed water. Pea gravel and river rock are used for paths and decorative areas but can migrate and are harder to drive on; pea gravel is fine for low-traffic walks. In West Tennessee, choose crushed mixes for structural areas and decorative screened topcoat for patios and borders.

West Tennessee’s clay soils hold water and can heave or rut if you place gravel directly on them, so proper subgrade preparation is important. Adding a well-draining base (crushed stone) and using a geotextile fabric help separate the clay from the stone and improve drainage. Also plan for side ditches or French drains in low spots, since heavy rains will otherwise concentrate water and wash fines out of the surface.

Use the driveway size and depth to estimate tonnage: a 20x20 (400 sq ft) driveway needs about 3.5 tons at 2" depth, 5.2 tons at 3", and 6.9 tons at 4". A larger 24x30 (720 sq ft) driveway needs about 6.3 tons at 2", 9.4 tons at 3", and 12.5 tons at 4". If you plan a structural base (4" to 6" compacted base plus a 2" topcoat), add the base and topcoat tonnages together when ordering.

Contractor pricing in small Tennessee towns varies, but typical labor and installation costs often run roughly $1.50 to $3.50 per square foot on average, depending on site access, grading needs, and whether heavy equipment is required. Some contractors price by the job (for example $500 to several thousand dollars for full prep and compacted stone), so get multiple quotes. Materials are usually charged per ton or included in the bid; Hello Gravel can provide delivered material pricing to share with contractors.

Lifespan depends on mix, use, and maintenance: well-installed crushed-stone driveways with a compacted base can perform well for 10 years or more with periodic maintenance. Decorative pea gravel and river rock tend to move and thin faster and may need topping every 1–3 years in high-traffic areas. Expect more frequent attention after heavy rains and during freeze-thaw periods when settling and rutting are more likely.

Most contractors in West Tennessee recommend a 4" to 6" compacted base of 3/4" crushed stone (crusher run or similar) for driveways, with mechanical compaction in 2" lifts. Add a 1" to 2" topcoat of #57 or screened stone for the wearing surface. Use a geotextile fabric to stabilize weak clay subgrades and compact the base to a firm, dense layer before the topcoat is placed.

Yes — many West Tennessee suppliers offer screened topcoat and decorative gravels such as colored crushed stone, pea gravel, and river rock. Availability varies by supplier and region, so add material preferences in your Hello Gravel order notes or check the product page for local photos and descriptions. Remember regional variations mean color and texture may differ from online pictures.

Budget for occasional regrading and topping: many homeowners add 0.25 to 0.75 tons per 100 sq ft each year depending on traffic and drainage, which translates to an annual material cost that often ranges from about $30 to $100 per ton delivered. Factor in occasional contractor grading or a rental compacting/grade service if you do not do it yourself — that labor or equipment rental might add $100 to $500 in busy years. Regular maintenance to keep grades and drainage in shape will reduce larger repairs later.

Gravel has lower upfront cost and is flexible for rural driveways, but it requires ongoing maintenance (regrading, topping) and can produce dust and washouts after heavy rains. Asphalt costs more initially and needs less frequent surface maintenance, but it is more expensive to repair if drainage fails or the subgrade moves. For many Primmsprings properties, gravel is a practical, lower-cost choice if you are prepared for periodic upkeep; asphalt is better where you want a smoother, lower-maintenance driving surface long term.
