Gravel in Pinnacle Point, TN

A common 2-car driveway around 20 ft by 20 ft (400 sq ft) usually needs about 3.5 tons for a 2 inch top layer, 5.2 tons for 3 inches, or about 6.9 tons for 4 inches. Hello Gravel’s minimum order is 3 tons, so a 2 inch top coat will meet the minimum; thicker bases or full rebuilds will need additional tons. Use square footage x depth / 27 to get cubic yards, then multiply by about 1.4 tons per cubic yard for crushed stone as a quick conversion.

Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order. Many ZIP codes qualify for free delivery, but fees depend on local supplier and distance; check your zip at checkout for precise pricing. Standard delivery requires 2+ business days, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee.

For driveways use angular crushed stone or crusher run (3/4u0022 to 1u0022) for strength and compaction, topped with 3/8u0022 to 3/4u0022 crushed stone for a wearing surface. For walking trails, compactable materials like crusher run, decomposed granite, or stone dust provide a stable, flat path. For drainage install clean, washed stone (3/4u0022 to 1-1/2u0022) or larger river rock depending on flow; avoid fines in drainage stone so water moves freely.

Drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion if it is safe and practical, but this is not guaranteed. Hello Gravel coordinates delivery only; for full installation, grading, compaction, or larger spreading jobs you should hire a local contractor or landscaper. You can request spreading in Order Notes at checkout and our team will note it for the driver.

Permit and HOA rules vary by neighborhood and county; many residential properties do not need a permit for a delivery but HOAs often require prior approval for visible driveway changes or curbside work. Before ordering, check your HOA covenants and call your local county building or zoning office to confirm any permit, right-of-way, or weight-restriction requirements.

Standard delivery is 2+ business days and often arrives within the same week depending on supplier inventory. Next-day delivery is offered for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee, subject to local supplier availability. During busy landscaping season expect slightly longer lead times, so book early for weekend projects.

For sloped driveways we recommend a structural base of 4 to 6 inches of larger, angular stone compacted firmly, plus a 2 to 3 inch wearing layer of 3/4u0022 crushed stone. Use geotextile fabric under the base to reduce washout and consider terracing or drainage swales on steeper pitches to control erosion. On steep slopes, increase base depth and work with a contractor to ensure safe, stable results.

Hello Gravel usually provides online quotes based on measurements you enter or photos you upload, and our team can arrange supplier or contractor site visits in many areas. If you prefer an on-site assessment, contact our sales team and we will coordinate with local suppliers to see if an estimate visit is available. Photos and dimensions are often enough for a reliable quote for common resurfacing jobs.

For a 100 ft long by 4 ft wide path (400 sq ft), a 2 inch layer requires about 3.5 tons, a 3 inch layer about 5.2 tons, and a 4 inch layer about 6.9 tons. For high-traffic trails use 3 inches of compactable material like crusher run; for light-use natural paths 2 inches of crushed stone or decomposed granite is usually sufficient. Always round up to account for settling and irregular ground.
