Gravel in Tazewell, TN

Prices vary by type and supplier, but in the Tazewell area expect delivered gravel to run roughly $30 to $65 per ton depending on material (pea, #57, crusher run, etc.) and availability. A typical tri-axle dump truck load (about 12–15 tons) will cost more overall, and Hello Gravel can provide a zip-code specific quote and delivery estimate for your address.

One ton of crushed gravel covers about 100–120 sq ft at a 2-inch depth (about 0.7 cubic yards per ton for common crushed stone). Coverage varies with material density and how tightly it is compacted, so measure your area and use our calculator or request a quote for a precise estimate.

Gravel alone will not turn into concrete, but products like crusher run or road base (which include fines) compact tightly and form a hard, stable surface when properly installed. For a truly hardened surface similar to concrete you can use concrete, or apply a stabilizing product such as a polymeric binder or compacted base with a grout or surface sealer — consult a contractor or our sales team for recommendations for Tazewell conditions.

Yes, pea gravel is highly permeable and allows water to pass through, making it a good choice for drainage projects, dry stream beds, and around foundations in rainy West Tennessee. Keep in mind it can shift and migrate, so use edging or geotextile fabric where you need it to stay in place.

A tri-axle dump truck typically carries about 10–14 cubic yards (roughly 12–15 tons), which at a 2-inch depth will cover about 1,600–2,300 sq ft. Actual coverage depends on truck size, material type, and desired depth — contact Hello Gravel with your zip code and desired depth and we will estimate coverage for your project in Tazewell.

No, 2 inches is only adequate as a thin top layer or for a path; a driveway should typically have 4–6 inches of compacted base of crush or road base plus a 2–3 inch top layer of wearing gravel. Tazewell’s seasonal rain means you should focus on a stable, well-compacted base to prevent rutting and drainage problems.

Delivered truckload prices depend on material, quantity, and distance; expect a single dump truck load in the Tazewell area to range from about $350 to $1,000 total. For an exact price, use Hello Gravel’s online quote tool or contact our team with your zip code, material choice, and delivery access details.

Buying in bulk and choosing common, locally sourced materials (like recycled crushed concrete or standard road base) is usually the most cost-effective approach. Compare local supplier quotes through Hello Gravel, schedule delivery for off-peak days, and avoid small bag purchases to reduce per-ton cost.

At a 2-inch depth, one ton covers roughly 100–120 sq ft; at 4 inches it covers about 50–60 sq ft. Your exact coverage depends on the gravel type and compaction, so measure your area and depth and use our calculator or a Hello Gravel quote for accuracy.

Cost depends on width and depth; for example, a 20 ft long by 10 ft wide driveway (200 sq ft) at a 4-inch compacted depth requires about 2.5 cubic yards (roughly 3.5–4 tons). At typical local prices that could mean $150–$350 for material plus delivery; final costs vary by material choice and access, so request a tailored quote from Hello Gravel.

The 10/20/30/40 rule refers to common nominal aggregate size mixes used in concrete batching and helps ensure a well-graded aggregate skeleton for strength and workability. For homeowners in Tazewell this means if you plan to use local gravel in concrete, use properly graded, clean aggregates and follow an approved concrete mix rather than using random landscape gravel.

Yes, polymeric binders and resin stabilizers can be applied to bind gravel and create a firmer, semi-permeable surface, but they change drainage and maintenance requirements. Before using these products in Tazewell, consider runoff, local codes, and whether the product is suited to your gravel type; our team can advise on local installers and compatible materials.

Avoid pea gravel where you need a stable, load-bearing surface such as main driveways, steep slopes, or high-traffic areas because it moves and compacts poorly under heavy use. In rainy West Tennessee locations where migration and erosion are likely, choose crushed stone or a compacted base material instead.

Yes, creating a gravel-filled trench or French drain with a perforated pipe, proper slope, and geotextile fabric is an effective drainage solution in Tazewell’s soil conditions. Make sure to size the trench and use the right gravel gradation for the job; if in doubt, share your site details with Hello Gravel or a local contractor for guidance.

Gravel on top of soil helps with erosion control, improves surface drainage, reduces mud, and creates low-maintenance walkways and beds that suit Tazewell’s climate. Use a layer of landscape fabric and the right depth of gravel to reduce weed growth and keep materials from mixing with underlying soil.
