Gravel in Dyersburg, TN

Prices vary by type and supplier, but in West Tennessee you can typically expect common gravels to cost about $35 to $75 per ton delivered. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum, so a typical minimum order will often run roughly $105 to $225 before any optional fees like next-day delivery. Add-on services, stone type, and delivery distance within the Dyersburg area can change the final price.

One ton of gravel generally covers about 80 to 100 square feet at a 1-inch depth, or about 20 to 25 square feet at a 2-inch depth. For Dyersburg driveways and walkways, homeowners commonly use 2 to 3 inches for a top layer, so plan on roughly 3 to 5 tons per 100 square feet for those uses. Always use a material calculator or contact our team for a project-specific estimate.

Two inches is usually only a top dressing and is not enough by itself for a driveway that will see regular vehicle traffic in Dyersburg. A durable gravel driveway typically needs 4 to 6 inches of compacted base with an additional 1 to 2 inches of surface stone. Local soil and drainage in West Tennessee can affect thickness, so consider adding depth where soils are soft or drainage is poor.

Crushed stone like 3/4u0022 crushed gravel or #57 stone is commonly used for driveways because it compacts well and sheds water. For a smoother walking surface or decorative areas, pea gravel or 3/8u0022 washed stone can be used but they move more under traffic. Because materials are regionally sourced, Hello Gravel suppliers can recommend the most common local stones that perform well in Dyersburg's climate.

A 12 ft by 40 ft driveway is 480 square feet. For a 4-inch compacted base you would need about 6.5 tons; for a 6-inch base about 9.8 tons. Because Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum, most small driveways still meet the minimum order, and you can contact our team for an exact calculation based on the stone type.

Not necessarily. Because Hello Gravel sources material regionally, color, size, and texture reflect local geology and can vary from photos. If color or texture is important, add preferences in Order Notes or contact our team so suppliers can try to match your request where possible. We recommend ordering a small sample or a single load first if appearance is critical.

Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, but it is not guaranteed. You can request spreading at checkout, and the driver will assess safety and access upon arrival. For larger or precise spreading jobs, arrange separate spreading services or contact our sales team for recommendations.

Clear the drop area of vehicles, low-hanging branches, and obstacles, and mark any buried utilities or pipes so drivers avoid them. Provide good access for a tri-axle dump truck and indicate your preferred drop location in Order Notes. If you have a narrow lane or overhead wires common in older Dyersburg neighborhoods, notify Hello Gravel in advance so the supplier can plan the delivery.

Heavy rains and storm runoff can move loose gravel, especially on slopes or near poor drainage areas, which is a consideration in West Tennessee weather. Proper base preparation, compaction, and installing edging or a geotextile fabric can reduce washout. For areas prone to severe storms, consult local suppliers about coatings or aggregate blends that compact better for stability.

Gravel is generally low-maintenance but does require occasional upkeep like raking, topping up displaced stone, and weed control, which are typical for Dyersburg properties. Expect to add a thin layer of fresh stone every few years in high-traffic areas. Regular grading and maintaining drainage will keep the surface functional and reduce long-term costs.

Contact Hello Gravel as soon as possible if you need to change or cancel your order; changes are easier before the supplier begins processing. We will do our best to accommodate requests, but modifications depend on timing and the supplier's schedule. If you have issues after delivery, contact customer service promptly so we can work toward a satisfactory resolution.
