Gravel in Cedarhill, TN

Coverage depends on depth: one ton of most gravels usually covers about 100 sq ft at 1u0022 depth, about 50 sq ft at 2u0022 depth, and about 25 sq ft at 4u0022 depth. These are rule-of-thumb estimates because stone type and compaction affect results. Use our material calculator or contact us for a project-specific estimate.

A typical tri-axle dump truck delivers roughly 10 to 12 cubic yards, which equates to about 12 to 15 tons of gravel depending on type. That volume will cover roughly 1,600 sq ft at 2u0022 depth or about 1,080 sq ft at 3u0022 depth. Actual truck sizes and loads vary by supplier, and Hello Gravel will confirm the truck size and estimated coverage when you order.

Two inches is generally too thin for a long-lasting driveway, especially in West Tennessee where rain and freeze-thaw can cause movement. For most residential driveways we recommend 3 to 4 inches of compacted gravel over a properly prepared base; new driveways or heavy vehicles may need 4 to 6 inches. Proper subgrade preparation and drainage are as important as depth for durability.

Cost depends on width, depth and stone type. For example, a 20 ft long by 10 ft wide driveway at 3u0022 depth needs about 1.8 cubic yards of gravel; material cost for that amount in West Tennessee typically ranges from $60 to $200, but Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum so your delivered order cost will usually be higher. Check our checkout for exact pricing and delivery options for your address.

A 7x14 dump trailer commonly holds roughly 4 to 6 cubic yards of loose material depending on side height and whether the trailer is heaped. That equals about 5 to 9 tons for typical gravel types. If you plan to rent a trailer, confirm its spec sheet; if ordering delivery, Hello Gravel will match truck size to your order needs.

Many full-size pickups can physically carry about one ton of gravel in the bed, but whether you should depends on your truck's payload rating. A ton of gravel can weigh 2,000 to 3,000 pounds depending on stone type and moisture, so check your vehicle's payload and axle limits before loading. For safety and convenience, consider professional delivery by dump truck through Hello Gravel.

Standard delivery is 2+ business days from order placement, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Deliveries are made by contracted dump trucks (usually tri-axle); drivers may be able to do tailgate spreading at their discretion but that service is not guaranteed. You will see delivery timing and truck details at checkout.

No two loads are identical. Due to regional sourcing in West Tennessee, gravel color, shape and texture reflect local geology and can vary from photos. If you have a color or texture preference, add it in Order Notes and our team will do our best to match your request, but exact matches cannot be guaranteed.
