Decomposed Granite
Known for its natural look, this compact, durable material drains well and holds up in high-traffic areas. Made from crushed and weathered granite down to a mix of fine gravel and sand—best for patios, paths, driveways, and landscape projects. Can range in color from light brown and tan to reddish and gray, depending on the natural stone color in the region.
Road Base
(Class 5 | ABC | Crusher Run) A mixture of crushed limestone or granite, gravel, and sand, ranging from 1 ½” in size down to fines (small particles). Commonly used for constructing roads, driveway bases, parking lots, and other paved and unpaved surfaces. Intended to be compacted, hence the inclusion of fines within the material to provide support and be resistant to erosion and shifting.

Why Tusculum Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Tusculum is a small but growing community of about 3,000 residents, positioned within the larger West Tennessee metropolitan region of 2.6+ million people. With steady expansion at a 1.80% annual growth rate and a temperate hardiness zone of 8b, local homeowners face an increasing need for durable exterior materials as properties are improved and new driveways, patios, and landscape projects appear. Tusculum’s climate—an average of 228 sunny days and 34.25 inches of rain each year—encourages year-round outdoor work but also raises demand for materials that manage both sun exposure and seasonal runoff. For homeowners, quality aggregates matter because they control drainage, reduce erosion, and provide stable, low-maintenance surfaces that hold up under frequent use and weather variations.Popular Projects in Tusculum This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Tusculum gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Tusculum.
Prices vary by aggregate type and supplier, but in West Tennessee delivered gravel commonly ranges from about $25 to $45 per ton. Using a typical conversion of 1.4 tons per cubic yard, that equals roughly $35 to $63 per cubic yard. Exact pricing for Tusculum is available by entering your zip code on our site or contacting our sales team for a firm quote.
A standard tri-axle dump truck in this region usually carries about 10 to 12 tons. Using the price range above, a full truckload of gravel is typically $250 to $540 for material, with delivery often free in many areas but sometimes subject to a delivery fee; your final price depends on material type, exact tonnage, and any delivery surcharges. Get an exact truckload price in checkout or by contacting our team with your address.
One cubic yard is 27 cubic feet, so it covers about 162 sq ft at 2", 108 sq ft at 3", and 81 sq ft at 4". Using a typical weight of 1.4 tons per cubic yard, one ton covers about 116 sq ft at 2", 77 sq ft at 3", and 58 sq ft at 4". Actual coverage can change with compaction and stone size, so round up slightly when ordering.
For Tusculum's soils and rainfall, 2 inches is only suitable as a thin top dressing or for low-use areas. We recommend 3 inches for light residential use and 4 inches for regular vehicle traffic or heavier loads, plus proper subgrade preparation and compaction. If you have clay soil or poor drainage, consider a thicker base and geotextile fabric to prevent rutting.
A 20 ft by 50 ft driveway is 1,000 sq ft. At 3" depth you need about 9.3 cubic yards (1,000 ÷ 108), which is roughly 13.0 tons using 1.4 tons per cubic yard. Using the typical price range of $25–$45 per ton, material cost would be about $325 to $585 before any delivery or service fees; use our checkout for an exact delivered price.
For most yard and driveway jobs, bulk dump truck delivery is the most cost-effective option once you need more than a few cubic yards due to lower per-ton pricing and fewer delivery trips. Multiple small loads or bagged gravel are convenient for tiny projects but cost significantly more per ton and may increase labor. If you only need under 3 tons, bagged or pickup may make sense, but for typical driveways a single truckload is usually cheapest.
Many local suppliers in West Tennessee do offer volume or contractor pricing for orders above one truckload, but policies vary by supplier and material type. If you plan to order multiple truckloads, request a contractor or volume quote through our sales team to see available discounts. We can help negotiate rates with local haulers when you place a larger order.
Most deliveries include dumping only; drivers may perform tailgate spreading at their discretion but that service is not guaranteed. Full spreading and compaction are typically separate services provided by contractors, and prices vary widely by crew, property access, and job size — small jobs might be a few hundred dollars, while larger installs can run higher. Ask for an installation estimate up front and note any spreading requests in your order so we can relay them to the hauler.
Standard delivery lead time is 2 or more business days. Next-day delivery is often available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee, subject to local supplier and truck availability. When you check out you can pick a delivery date and we will confirm scheduling and any applicable fees.
Yes. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order, and most residential deliveries are made by tri-axle dump trucks that need adequate width, turning room, and stable ground to back in. Overhead lines, low tree limbs, narrow lanes, and neighborhood parking rules can restrict where a truck can dump; permits may be needed if staging on a public street. Include site notes and photos at checkout or call our team so we can flag any access issues with the driver ahead of time.
Yes. Because Hello Gravel sources regionally, gravel color, texture, and stone shape reflect local geology and can vary by supplier. Expect natural variation in appearance and note any color preferences in Order Notes; if color or texture is critical, request a sample or contact our team for photos from your local supplier. Also consider local climate — wetter months and clay subgrades in West Tennessee may affect performance, so plan drainage and compaction accordingly.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

We cannot get out of the truck and manually spread it. However, depending on the location, safety, and comfortability of the driver – we may be able to tailgate spread your material. This involves pulling the truck forward as material is being dumped to make it easier for you to distribute material after delivery.
The minimum order size is 3 tons.
