Gravel in Collierville, CA

Hello Gravel sources materials from trusted local quarries and suppliers serving the California region near Collierville. Materials are regionally sourced so texture, color, and mix reflect local geology; we match your order with nearby suppliers and contracted haulers after you enter your zip code. If you need a specific quarry or product, note it in Order Notes and our team will try to accommodate it.

Delivered prices vary with material type, distance, and truck access, but in the California region you can generally expect rough delivered ranges: crushed rock $30-$70/ton, pea gravel $40-$80/ton, decomposed granite (DG) $35-$75/ton. These are estimates only; get an exact delivered price by entering your address or calling our team for a zip-code-specific quote. Pricing can change with season, availability, and truck routing.

Crushed angular rock (like 3/4u0022 crushed stone) tends to perform best because the sharp edges lock together and resist shifting under heat and dry cycles. Pea gravel stays stable against heat but can migrate and require edging; decomposed granite can bind and harden in dry heat but may crack or form dust without stabilizer. For long-term stability in hot, dry conditions, consider crushed stone with proper base and optional stabilizer.

A 12'x40' driveway has 480 sq ft. For a typical compacted depth of 6 inches (0.5 ft) you need about 8.9 cubic yards, which equals roughly 12.5 tons of 3/4u0022 crushed gravel. Allow 10-20% extra for compaction and waste, so plan on about 14-15 tons and round up to meet our 3-ton minimum.

Local city zoning rules and HOA covenants may restrict driveway materials, setback requirements, visible front-yard landscaping, dust control, or drainage changes. Collierville homeowners should check their city planning or public works office and any HOA guidelines before installing gravel so you know permit and runoff requirements. If you need help, contact our team and we can point you to local resources.

A permeable driveway usually uses an open-graded base (larger stone for drainage) topped with a crushed-stone wearing layer that allows water to pass through. Typical build: geotextile fabric, 6-10 inches of open-graded base rock, and a 2-3 inch wearing layer of 3/4u0022 crushed stone or pea gravel; include a well-planned perimeter drain or swale to handle heavy rains. Local soil and slope matter, so have a contractor assess drainage before finalizing the mix.

Gravel is the lowest-cost option up front, is permeable, and performs well with occasional rains, but it requires periodic regrading and topping. Asphalt and concrete cost more initially and need less frequent topping, but asphalt can soften in extreme heat and concrete can crack without proper joints; both need a well-prepared subbase. Choose gravel if you want lower up-front cost and easier drainage, and pick asphalt or concrete if you want a smoother, lower-maintenance surface long term.

Hello Gravel partners with local suppliers and contracted truckers who deliver aggregates across the California region, and many haulers will connect you with installers. For full installation work, search local listings, read reviews, and ask potential contractors for references and examples of past gravel driveways in Collierville. If you’d like, our team can recommend vetted suppliers and haulers after you enter your zip code.

Installation costs depend on site prep, base depth, access, and whether drainage or edging is required; typical ranges in the California region are about $1.50 to $5.00 per sq ft for standard gravel driveways. Heavier base work, grading, or curb-cut permits can increase costs, sometimes pushing total installed cost higher. Get a contractor estimate for your specific site to capture prep and drainage needs.

Common recommendations are landscape edging to contain stone, periodic regrading to correct ruts, adding a 1-2 inch top dress of fresh gravel every few years, and weed control fabric or targeted herbicide to limit plant growth. For dusty or migrating stone, consider a stabilizer mix or polymer treatment and routine compaction with a plate compactor. Regular inspection after heavy rains will catch drainage or washout issues early.
