Gravel in Decatur, TN

Prices in West Tennessee vary by gravel type, supplier, and delivery, but expect a general range of about $30 to $60 per ton (rough estimate). Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum order and will provide an upfront quote for your zip code and chosen material, including any delivery fees or next-day charges.

One ton of common crushed gravel typically covers about 80 square feet at a 2-inch depth, though coverage varies with stone size and compaction. For thin top dressings or different depths, coverage changes, so use a material calculator or ask Hello Gravel for help with your specific project.

Four tons of gravel will cover roughly 320 square feet at a 2-inch depth, which is about a 10x32-foot area. If you need a thicker, more durable driveway (4 to 6 inches compacted), 4 tons will cover a much smaller area, so calculate depth and expected traffic before ordering.

Two inches is generally too thin for a full gravel driveway; it may work as a light top dressing over a well-compacted base for low-traffic drives. For Decatur homeowners, we recommend a compacted base of 4 to 6 inches for long-term durability, with a 2 to 3-inch surface layer of cleaner gravel.

For most residential drives and low-volume roads in the Decatur area, 3/4u0022 to 1u0022 crushed stone (often sold as #57 or 3/4u0022 clean) is a common choice for the surface layer. Heavier-use road bases may require larger crushed stone or a graded base layer beneath the surface material.

For surface drainage, 2 to 4 inches of open-graded gravel can help convey water, while French drains and drainage trenches typically use 6 to 12 inches of clean, 3/4u0022 crushed stone. Choose clean, angular stone that resists clogging and check local soil and slope conditions for the best results.

When a product is labeled '4 river gravel' it usually indicates stones up to about 4 inches in diameter (river rock is rounded). Because naming can vary by supplier, confirm the exact size range with your Hello Gravel quote so the material matches your project needs.

For a simple path or patio, a 2- to 3-inch compacted layer of 3/4u0022 crushed stone is common; this translates to roughly 1 ton per 80 to 100 square feet at 2 inches. Use the Hello Gravel calculator or contact our team with your length, width, and desired depth for a tailored estimate.

Hello Gravel serves Decatur through our network of local suppliers and dump truck haulers; standard delivery is 2+ business days and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee.

Contact Hello Gravel as soon as possible if you need to change an order; we will do our best to accommodate requests before the order is processed or dispatched. Modifications depend on supplier and hauler timing, so early contact improves chances of a successful change.

Clean, washed 3/4u0022 crushed stone or pea gravel is commonly recommended around foundations because it promotes water flow and resists settling. Install at least 4 to 6 inches with proper sub-slope and consider a perforated drain pipe if you expect higher water volumes.

Because Hello Gravel sources materials regionally, color and texture will reflect West Tennessee geology and can differ from stock photos. If color or look matters, add preferences in Order Notes and ask for a supplier description or photo before delivery.

Decatur's small population (about 7,730) means materials are typically sourced from nearby West Tennessee quarries, so you may see regional variations in color and rock type. Hello Gravel will connect you with local suppliers and provide transparent pricing and delivery details for your area.
