Most tri-axle dump trucks used for deliveries around Ashland City carry about 10 to 12 cubic yards loose, which typically equals about 12 to 18 tons depending on the gravel type and moisture. Smaller trucks and local haulers may deliver 6 to 8 cubic yards. Tell us your site access and we will match a truck size and give exact load numbers for your order.

One cubic yard covers about 162 square feet at 2 inches and about 108 square feet at 3 inches. So a 10-cubic-yard truck will cover roughly 1,620 sq ft at 2 inches or about 1,080 sq ft at 3 inches. Use these figures to estimate coverage and then round up a bit for waste and compaction.

For most residential driveways in the Ashland City area, 2 inches is only a light top layer and is not sufficient as the main structural depth. We typically recommend a compacted base of 4 to 6 inches of larger crushed stone with an additional 1 to 2 inches of finer gravel on top, especially because West Tennessee soils can be clayey and wetter. Proper compaction and drainage are more important than just surface depth to avoid rutting and washouts.

For driveways and drainage near Ashland City, a well-graded crushed stone (commonly 3/4u0022 crushed stone or crushed limestone) is a good base because it compacts well and sheds water. For a finished surface, pea gravel or 3/8u0022 screened stone offers a nicer look but may shift more in wet conditions. Native river rock can be attractive but is less stable; choose materials based on traffic, desired appearance, and drainage needs.

Calculate volume: area = 12 ft x 40 ft = 480 sq ft. For depth in feet, divide 27 cubic feet per yard by depth to get coverage: at 3 inches (0.25 ft) one cubic yard covers 108 sq ft. So you need 480/108 = 4.45 cubic yards, round up to 4.5 or 5 cubic yards. Multiply by the weight factor (about 1.3 to 1.6 tons per cubic yard) to estimate tons (4.5 yd3 x 1.4 ≈ 6.3 tons).
