Gravel delivery in Montgomery County, TN

Prices vary by material and supplier in Montgomery County, but a single tri-axle truckload (typically 10–14 cubic yards) of common driveway gravel often ranges from about $400 to $1,000 delivered. Tailgate spreading may be available at checkout and is performed at the driver’s discretion; if offered it may add a modest fee.

A 20 ft by 12 ft driveway is 240 sq ft; at a typical 3-inch top layer you need about 2.2 cubic yards (roughly 3.0–3.5 tons). Using local Montgomery County delivered pricing as an example, multiply the tons needed by the per-ton delivered price from your quote (many customers see a ballpark of $40–$90 per ton), and remember Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order. For an exact cost, get a quote for your zip code and include any requested spreading service.

Assuming a 12 ft width, a 200-ft driveway has 2,400 sq ft; at a 4-inch compacted depth you would need about 30 cubic yards (roughly 40–45 tons). Material-only costs in Montgomery County depend on the product but expect to multiply tons by the delivered price from a local quote; full installation (grading, base, compaction, and spreading) can add labor and equipment costs that vary widely, so many homeowners budget $1.50–$4.00 per sq ft for a simple installed gravel driveway. Contact Hello Gravel for a delivered material quote and ask local contractors for installation bids to get an accurate total.

A 10 ft by 10 ft patio at 2 inches depth requires about 0.62 cubic yards, which is roughly 0.8–1.0 tons of pea gravel. Because Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order, most customers pay for at least 3 tons unless combining with another project; delivered cost will depend on local pricing but expect to use the per-ton delivered quote for Montgomery County to calculate the total. For small jobs consider ordering delivery to a neighbor or combining multiple small areas to meet minimums and reduce per-area cost.

Recycled aggregates like asphalt millings and basic crushed limestone or crushed gravel are often among the least expensive options in Tennessee due to local availability. In Montgomery County, crushed limestone and certain recycled materials compact well and perform acceptably for driveways, but suitability depends on traffic, drainage, and local soil (some areas have clayey soils that hold water). Evaluate long-term maintenance needs and get local samples from suppliers so you can compare cost, look, and performance before buying.

Asphalt millings are often cheaper upfront in Montgomery County and can compact into a firm surface that resists rutting when properly installed and compacted. Long-term costs can be lower for some homeowners because millings tend to lock together, but they may still require periodic regrading and can be messier than crushed stone; drainage and local climate affect longevity. Get local quotes for both materials and ask about compaction and sealing practices to compare true lifecycle costs for your property.

Crushed gravel has angular particles that interlock and compact, making it better for driveways and heavy traffic, while natural (pea) gravel is rounded and tends to move under tires and foot traffic. For Montgomery County’s mixed soils and humid climate, crushed stone or crushed limestone is generally the better choice for durability and drainage. Use pea gravel for decorative patios or pathways but avoid it as the main wearing surface on driveways unless it is stabilized.

Products such as polymer-modified gravel, resin-bound gravel systems, and geogrid/gravel-stabilizer pavers can produce a firm surface that behaves more like concrete while retaining a gravel appearance. In Montgomery County, material plus installation costs for these systems typically run higher than loose gravel, commonly in the range of $5–$15 per sq ft depending on product and site prep. Get specific product samples and local installation quotes because prices depend on base work, drainage, and desired finish.

Pea gravel is attractive for patios but tends to shift, scatter, and create uneven surfaces under vehicle traffic, making it a poor choice for primary driveways in Montgomery County unless it is stabilized. It also can be difficult for wheelchair users, strollers, and mowing edges, and weeds can be a problem if proper base and weed control are not installed. Choose pea gravel for low-traffic decorative areas or use stabilization products if you want a smoother, more permanent surface.

A typical tri-axle dump truck from local suppliers carries roughly 10–14 cubic yards (varies by truck and material). That covers about 1,620–2,270 sq ft at 2 inches depth, 1,080–1,513 sq ft at 3 inches, or 810–1,135 sq ft at 4 inches; divide your project’s square footage by those coverage numbers to estimate loads.
