A typical tri-axle dump truck load (often 10-14 tons) can cost several hundred to over a thousand dollars delivered depending on material and haul distance. Because Hello Gravel connects you to local suppliers, we recommend getting a quote through our site—minimum orders start at 3 tons, so many customers buy multiple tons rather than a full truckload.

Local suppliers in the Blaine area typically deliver crusher run; order through Hello Gravel to see availability and delivery options for your zip code.

Two inches is usually too thin for a driveway in Blaine; we recommend a compacted base of 4 to 6 inches of crushed stone plus a 2 to 3 inch topcoat of smaller gravel for driveways. West Tennessee has clay soils and occasional heavy rain, so a thicker base helps drainage and prevents rutting.

Four cubic yards equals 108 cubic feet. That will cover about 648 sq ft at 2 inches deep, 432 sq ft at 3 inches deep, or 324 sq ft at 4 inches deep—use those numbers to estimate coverage for small projects.

Terminology can vary regionally, but generally smaller, crushed stone with fines is used for a compacted base while cleaner, rounded or screened stone is used as a topcoat. For a Blaine driveway, choose a crushed base (often called crusher run or similar) for compaction, then a coarser, well-draining top layer; ask your local supplier for the exact product specs available in West Tennessee.

Polymeric gravels and stabilizers that bind stones exist and can reduce tracking and maintenance, but they do not become as hard as concrete. Availability varies by supplier in West Tennessee, so check Hello Gravel for local options or visit specialty landscape stores if you want a bound surface.

A typical installation in Blaine starts with good drainage, then geotextile fabric in very soft soils, 4 to 8 inches of compacted base stone, and a 2 to 3 inch topcoat of gravel. Hello Gravel connects you with material suppliers and haulers; some partners may offer spreading or recommend local contractors, but installation services are not guaranteed—request tailgate spreading at checkout and confirm any installation work with the supplier.

Gravel driveways need periodic grading, replenishing material every few years, and occasional weed control; heavy rain and freeze-thaw cycles in West Tennessee can cause ruts and washouts.
