Gravel in Belfast, TN

In West Tennessee, delivered gravel prices commonly range from about $30 to $60 per ton depending on type (pea gravel, crushed stone, etc.) and distance from the quarry. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order and regional sourcing means your quote may vary; get an exact delivered price by checking your zip code or requesting a quote. Delivery fees and next-day options can change the final cost, so ask about available delivery dates and fees when you order.

A standard half-ton pickup typically carries about 1 cubic yard of loose gravel in the bed, which is roughly 1.2 to 1.6 tons depending on material. Larger 3/4- or 1-ton pickups can carry closer to 2 to 3 cubic yards, but payload limits vary so check your truck’s rated capacity before loading. If you need more than a few yards, a dump truck delivery from Hello Gravel is usually easier and safer.

Most tri-axle dump trucks used in our network carry about 10 to 12 cubic yards of gravel, which will cover roughly 1,600 to 2,000 square feet at a 2-inch depth. Coverage changes with depth and material type; for a typical driveway base at 4 inches, the same load will cover about 800 to 1,000 square feet. Ask Hello Gravel for an estimated coverage based on the truck size and material you select when you order.

Two inches is usually too thin for a long-term driveway because it won’t compact into a stable surface under vehicle traffic. For a residential driveway with regular cars we recommend at least 3 inches of compacted gravel on top of a properly prepared base, and 4 to 6 inches total if you need a structural base for heavier trucks. If you’re doing decorative paths or temporary surfacing, 2 inches may be acceptable.

Cost depends on width and depth; for example, a 20-foot-long by 10-foot-wide driveway at 3 inches depth needs about 1.85 cubic yards (roughly 2.6 tons), which hits Hello Gravel’s 3-ton minimum. Using a mid-range price of $40 per ton, material would be around $120 and delivered might be $120 to $300 total depending on supplier and delivery fees. For an exact price, request a quote with your driveway dimensions and preferred material type.

The most economical route is buying in bulk from a local supplier to reduce haul distance, choosing a common local material, and scheduling standard delivery rather than rush service. If you have an appropriate vehicle and trailer, picking up directly can save delivery costs, but keep in mind weight limits and local road rules. Hello Gravel can connect you with nearby suppliers and show delivered pricing so you can compare options quickly.

One ton of gravel typically covers about 100 to 120 square feet at a 2-inch depth and about 65 to 80 square feet at a 3-inch depth, though exact coverage depends on the stone size and how well it compacts. Different materials (pea gravel, crushed stone, screenings) have different densities, so use these numbers as a guideline and check with your supplier for a precise estimate. Remember Hello Gravel’s 3-ton minimum for deliveries in your area.

Not always. Because Hello Gravel sources materials locally in West Tennessee, color and texture reflect regional geology (limestone, river rock, or local crushed stone) and can vary from photos. You can note color preferences in the order notes, but we can’t guarantee an exact match; contact customer service if appearance is critical, and ask about supplier samples if available.
