Gravel in Camden, TN

A delivered 10-15 ton truckload to Camden, TN usually runs in a wide range because price depends on material type and distance to the supplier; expect roughly $300 to $1,200 as an estimated delivered cost. Lighter materials like bank-run or recycled stone sit at the lower end, while decorative pea gravel or specialty colored stone will be toward the higher end. Contact Hello Gravel with your zip code for a precise quote and lead time.

The lowest-cost options are usually local bank-run or crushed stone delivered in bulk; these materials are common in West Tennessee and often cost less per ton than decorative gravels. To save more, order at least the 3-ton minimum (Hello Gravel minimum) and look for pickup or local quarry discounts, but always factor in hauling distance and spreading costs.

For a 20-foot-long driveway (assume 10 feet wide) at a typical 4-inch compacted depth, you need about 3.5 cubic yards or roughly 5 tons of gravel; at $30 per ton delivered that equals about $150 for materials. Add spreading/ labor costs which commonly run $100 to $300 for a small job, so a reasonable total estimate is $250 to $600 depending on material choice and whether the driver can do tailgate spreading. Request a tailored quote from Hello Gravel and note spreading requests at checkout since drivers perform it at their discretion.

Two inches of loose gravel is generally not sufficient for a durable driveway in West Tennessee because local clay soils and seasonal wetness require better support. For light residential use, aim for at least 3 to 4 inches of compacted top material on a properly prepared base; for heavier vehicles or poor soils, build a 4 to 6 inch compacted base plus a 2 to 3 inch wearing layer. Proper compaction and a stable base matter more than the top inches alone, so plan for grading and compaction before delivery.

Costs vary by width and depth, but a common example: a 100 ft by 10 ft driveway at 4 inches compacted needs about 12.3 cubic yards or roughly 17 tons of gravel. If delivered material runs about $30 per ton, material cost would be around $510, which breaks down to about $5.10 per linear foot; add spreading and compaction costs and you’ll commonly see total per-foot prices from $6 to $15.

Free gravel is uncommon in most small towns; occasional opportunities can come from local road projects, municipal cleanups, or contractors with excess material, but availability is irregular in the Camden area. Discounted pickup from nearby quarries or aggregate yards can be possible if you have a truck and can load 3 tons or more; Hello Gravel can check our supplier network for local options when you enter your zip code. For consistent results, paid delivery from a local supplier is usually the most reliable choice.

Lower-cost alternatives include crushed recycled concrete, bank-run material, and compacted road base; these often cost less per ton than decorative gravel and perform well for driveways. Recycled asphalt can also be economical and locks together when compacted but may look different and age differently than natural stone. Installed costs are usually lower for recycled materials, but consider drainage, appearance, and long-term maintenance when comparing options.

Many Hello Gravel orders include free standard delivery depending on supplier and distance, but if a delivery fee applies it commonly ranges from $50 to $200 in the Camden area based on haul distance and truck size. Tailgate spreading or contractor spreading is often extra; expect $30 to $150 for a driver to roughly spread material or $100 to $300+ if a contractor grades and compacts the driveway. Always request spreading at checkout and confirm rates since drivers provide spreading at their discretion and contractor rates vary.

For West Tennessee driveways a layered approach works best: use 3/4u0022 crushed stone or crusher run for the base and a 3/8u0022 stone or stone dust top to lock the surface; pea gravel is attractive but tends to migrate and needs edging. Price-wise, bank-run and crusher-run are typically the most affordable, crushed stone mid-range, and decorative pea gravel or colored stone at the high end. Regional variations in Camden mean you should compare quotes for specific material names and check photos from your local supplier before ordering.

Hello Gravel standard delivery lead time is 2+ business days; next-day delivery may be available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. The minimum order is 3 tons for most areas, and larger or special material requests may require more scheduling lead time with the local supplier.
