Gravel in Autumn Ridge, TN

Pea gravel is a decorative, higher-priced material in the Tennessee Region, and costs vary by supplier and color. Expect roughly $40 to $100 per ton in the Autumn Ridge area; a typical tri-axle dump truck carries about 10 to 16 cubic yards (roughly 14 to 22 tons), so a full truck could cost in the low hundreds to a few thousand dollars depending on tonnage and finish. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order and may show delivery or next-day fees on checkout, so check your quote for total delivered cost.

Prices depend on type (crusher-run, #57, pea gravel) and local supply, but in Autumn Ridge expect a delivered price roughly between $35 and $90 per ton. Small orders run into the 3-ton minimum for Hello Gravel, and additional fees can apply for next-day delivery or long haul distances. For an exact price use our online quote tool or contact our team so we can match you with local suppliers.

Cost depends on width, depth, and material. For example, a 20 ft long by 10 ft wide driveway at 3 inches depth needs about 3 tons (minimum), which at $40 to $90 per ton equals about $120 to $270 for material plus delivery and any spreading fees. Seasonal factors like rain and local soil (Tennessee clay) may require extra material or base prep, so get a supplier estimate based on your exact dimensions and site condition.

Pea gravel is attractive but moves and migrates easily, so it can scatter onto lawns, be difficult to mow, and form ruts under vehicle traffic. It does not compact well for driveways and can sink into soft or clayey soils common in Tennessee after heavy rain. Weed growth and maintenance are other considerations, so pea gravel is best for decorative paths and patios, not heavily used driveways.

Ordering in bulk from a local supplier and using a coarser, utility-type material (like crusher-run or recycled aggregate) is usually the most economical route. Picking up from a nearby quarry can save on delivery, and avoiding decorative products (pea gravel, colored stone) reduces cost. Use Hello Gravel to compare local supplier quotes and schedule delivery to get transparent pricing for your zip code.

Coverage varies with depth and stone type, but a good rule of thumb is: 1 ton (about 0.7 cubic yards) covers roughly 230 sq ft at 1 inch depth, 115 sq ft at 2 inches, and 77 sq ft at 3 inches. Actual coverage changes with the density of the material and how compacted you want it, so measure your area and add 5-10% extra for compaction and waste when ordering in Autumn Ridge's varied terrain.

Crusher-run (also called dense grade aggregate or DGA) is typically the most cost-effective choice for driveways because it compacts well and provides a stable surface. Clean crushed stone (#57) is also affordable but may need a finer base for stability; decorative pea gravel is more expensive and less suitable for vehicular use. Local suppliers in the Tennessee Region often stock crusher-run at the best price—ask Hello Gravel for available options and delivered pricing.

A typical tri-axle dump truck used in our network carries about 10 to 16 cubic yards, which for gravel (about 1.4 tons per cubic yard) equals roughly 14 to 22 tons. Smaller tandem-axle trucks will carry less, and your delivered load may be adjusted for legal weight limits and haul distance. Hello Gravel shows truck type and estimated tons in your order details so you know what to expect.

Drivers may be able to provide tailgate spreading at their discretion, but Hello Gravel does not guarantee spreading services and it depends on site access and safety. Request spreading at checkout and the driver will assess on arrival whether it can be done safely; if spreading is required, consider hiring local labor for a guaranteed result. Always note access issues, low-hanging wires, or soft yards in your order notes to help the driver plan.
