Using common truck sizes: if your hauler uses a 12 cubic yard truck, one load will cover a 1,000 sq ft driveway at about 2u0022 depth, and one load will still usually cover 3u0022 (9.3 cu yd fits). For 4u0022 depth (about 12.4 cu yd) you may need a single 12-14 cu yd truck or two smaller loads. Ask your Hello Gravel quote for exact truck plan for Limestone deliveries.

Two inches is thin for most driveways, especially in West Tennessee where clay subsoils and heavy rain can lead to rutting. For better long-term performance we recommend 3 to 4 inches of compacted crushed stone for typical passenger vehicles, and 4 inches or more if you have heavy trucks or poor drainage. Consider a compacted crushed limestone base for added stability.

Buying in bulk delivered from a local quarry or supplier is usually the most cost-effective option for Limestone projects because it reduces handling and per-ton costs. Picking up small quantities yourself can save money on small jobs but adds time, fuel, and truck rental expense. Use Hello Gravel to compare local supplier quotes and choose the best total cost for your job.

Rounded river gravel drains well and looks attractive but does not compact as tightly, so it can shift under traffic. For most Limestone, TN driveways crushed limestone gives better value and durability.
