Gravel in Colonial Acres, TN

A full tri-axle dump load in the Tennessee Region typically carries about 10-14 tons (roughly 7-10 cubic yards) of gravel. Delivered price to Colonial Acres can vary by material and supplier; expect a broad range of roughly $300 to $1,000 for a full truckload depending on type (washed, crushed, decorative) and local supply.

Prices for 1 ton of gravel in the Tennessee Region vary by material and supplier, but delivered costs commonly fall between $40 and $120 per ton; pick-up prices can be lower since you avoid delivery charges. Small-load or delivery minimums often apply (Hello Gravel minimum is 3 tons), so getting a single-ton delivered may add small-load or drop fees. For an exact delivered price to Colonial Acres, request a quote that includes delivery and any small-load charges.

Ten cubic yards of gravel is roughly 13 to 14 tons depending on the material. Delivered cost for 10 cubic yards in the Tennessee Region commonly ranges from about $500 to $1,600 depending on type and local rates; installation (spreading/compaction) by a contractor adds labor and equipment costs which can vary widely, often $200 to $800 or more. Hello Gravel can deliver the material (tailgate spreading may be possible at the driver's discretion), and we recommend getting contractor bids for installation to combine materials and labor costs.

Cost depends on driveway width, depth, and material. For a 20 ft long by 10 ft wide driveway at a 3-inch top layer over a 4-inch crushed stone base, you might need about 2.5 to 3.5 cubic yards for the top layer and 6 to 8 cubic yards for the base; material-only costs in the Tennessee Region commonly range from $300 to $1,500 depending on materials chosen. Add contractor labor for grading, base compaction, and finishing—typical install costs can push the total to $800 to $3,000; get local quotes through Hello Gravel or request contractor estimates for a firm number.

Pea gravel is often priced higher than basic crushed gravel or bank-run material because it is screened and cleaned for appearance and drainage. For patios and paths in Colonial Acres, crushed gravel or crushed stone base plus a cheaper top dressing usually gives the best cost-to-performance ratio. If appearance and smooth walking surface matter, pea gravel can be worth the extra cost—get a delivered quote for both options before deciding.

The most cost-effective options are usually crushed limestone, bank-run gravel, or recycled crushed concrete when available locally; these tend to be lower-cost for bulk delivery. Decorative washed gravels, colored stones, and pea gravel are typically more expensive due to processing and lower local availability. Availability and price vary by county in Tennessee, so check Hello Gravel quotes for the cheapest local option to Colonial Acres.

Volume-wise, 1 ton of gravel is about 0.7 to 0.8 cubic yards and will usually fit in the bed of many pickup trucks, but weight is the limiting factor. Many half-ton pickups have payload ratings under 2,000 lb, so loading a full ton (2,000 lb) may exceed your truck's safe payload—check your vehicle's payload rating before hauling. For small amounts, hauling yourself can save delivery fees, but for 3 tons or more Hello Gravel delivery is often easier, safer, and quickly cost-competitive when you factor time and vehicle wear.

For small projects under a few cubic yards, compare bulk delivery minimums (Hello Gravel minimum is 3 tons) to bagged gravel from local stores and factor in time and effort to move material. Often the best value is ordering the minimum bulk delivery if you need multiple cubic yards; for very small amounts (less than 1 cubic yard) buying bags may be simpler despite a higher per-ton cost. Use Hello Gravel's material calculator to estimate quantities, then compare a delivery quote to local retail bag pricing and your willingness to handle hauling and spreading.

A standard wheelbarrow holds about 3 to 4 cubic feet, so 1 cubic yard (27 cubic feet) is roughly 7 to 9 wheelbarrow loads depending on wheelbarrow size. Since 1 ton of gravel is roughly 0.7 to 0.8 cubic yards, expect about 5 to 7 wheelbarrow loads for 1 ton. Plan for extra trips for staging and minor spills, and consider renting a utility cart or hiring help for larger jobs.

Delivery fees vary by distance, access difficulty, and load size—many suppliers include delivery for orders above a threshold while small orders can incur small-load fees commonly ranging from $25 to $125. Tailgate spreading, tight-access fees, long-drop fees, or required offloading by hand may add extra charges; Hello Gravel lists delivery timing (2+ business days standard, next-day available before noon CST) and negotiates with local suppliers to disclose fees up front.
