Gravel in Bakewell, TN

In West Tennessee, common gravel types typically range from about $25 to $45 per ton delivered, depending on the size and type (pea gravel, #57 crushed stone, crusher run, etc.). Exact pricing varies by supplier and material; Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum and will show final local pricing during checkout or on a quote. Ask for a line-item quote to see material, delivery, and any small-order fees.

A dump truck load cost equals the per-ton price multiplied by the truck load in tons, plus any delivery fee. Typical tri-axle loads in our network range from roughly 10 to 20 tons depending on truck size and material density, so at $30/ton a truck could cost about $300 to $600 before delivery and site fees. Contact Hello Gravel for an exact truck-load price for your zip code and material choice.

Tri-axle dump trucks commonly used for deliveries carry about 10 to 14 cubic yards, which for gravel converts to roughly 12 to 20 tons depending on the material density (1.2–1.6 tons per cubic yard). Weight varies by stone type and moisture, so if you need an exact tonnage for compaction or billing purposes, confirm with the supplier and driver. Hello Gravel can note your preferred truck type when you order.

Cost depends on width, depth, and material. For a 200 ft long by 12 ft wide driveway: 2u0022 depth uses about 15 cubic yards (~21 tons) and 4u0022 depth uses about 30 cubic yards (~42 tons). Using a mid-range price of $30/ton, expect material costs near $630 for a 2u0022 surface or $1,260 for 4u0022, plus delivery, compaction, and possible extra base material if your yard has soft clay—get a local quote to refine this estimate.

Two inches is generally too thin for a new driveway in Bakewell unless it is only a light top dressing over an already well-compacted, stable base. In West Tennessee's clay soils and rainy climate, we usually recommend a 4–6u0022 compacted crushed-stone base with a 1–2u0022 wearing layer of gravel for durability. If you already have a solid base, 2u0022 can work as a refresh, but for new drives plan for a thicker foundation.

Buying in bulk (minimum 3 tons) from local suppliers through Hello Gravel and scheduling standard delivery usually gives the best unit price. Cheaper material options include crusher run or recycled concrete; self-pickup from a local quarry can save delivery fees if you have a suitable truck. Always compare per-ton price plus delivery so you know the true landed cost.

Calculate cubic yards first: (length ft x width ft x depth ft) / 27, then multiply cubic yards by about 1.4 to estimate tons for common gravel. For example, a 10 ft x 10 ft area at 2u0022 depth is about 0.62 cubic yards or roughly 0.9 tons. Use our online material calculator or contact Hello Gravel with your measurements for a ready estimate and minimum-order guidance.

Hello Gravel standard delivery is 2+ business days, with next-day available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee; minimum order is 3 tons and deliveries are typically made by tri-axle trucks. Drivers may perform tailgate spreading at their discretion but spreading is not guaranteed, and regional sourcing means color and texture can vary from pictures. If your property has tight access or fragile landscaping, note that in Order Notes so we can advise on truck placement and potential additional fees.
