Gravel in Fairview, TN

Delivered gravel costs vary by material, supplier, and distance. Expect delivered prices in Fairview to commonly range: pea gravel $40–$75 per ton, crushed stone $35–$65 per ton, #411 and 57 stone $30–$60 per ton; per cubic yard add roughly 25–40% depending on material density. These are estimates—final price depends on your zip code, delivery access, and minimum order (Hello Gravel minimum is 3 tons).

In West Tennessee, common ranges delivered to a driveway are: pea gravel $40–$75/ton (≈$55–$100/yd3), crushed stone $35–$65/ton (≈$50–$90/yd3), #411 and 57 stone $30–$60/ton (≈$45–$85/yd3). Exact per-cubic-yard pricing depends on the material’s bulk density and local supplier pricing; Hello Gravel shows per-ton and per-yard estimates during checkout for your zip code.

One cubic yard = 27 cubic feet and typically covers about 324 sq ft at 1u0022, 162 sq ft at 2u0022, and 108 sq ft at 3u0022. One ton of gravel is roughly 0.7–0.8 cubic yards depending on material, so one ton covers about 240–260 sq ft at 1u0022, 120–130 sq ft at 2u0022, and 80–90 sq ft at 3u0022. Use these figures as a starting point; denser materials cover a bit less area.

A typical tri-axle dump truck used by local suppliers usually carries about 10–14 cubic yards (roughly 12–18 tons depending on material). At 3u0022 depth, a 10 cu yd truck will cover about 1,080 sq ft (10 cu yd × 108 sq ft/yd at 3u0022). For a single-car driveway (about 10–12 ft wide), that is roughly 90–110 feet of length at 3u0022 depth; actual delivered quantity depends on truck type and local weight limits.

For short-term use and light traffic, 2u0022 of topcoat gravel can work, but it is thin for long-term durability. In Fairview’s West Tennessee climate we recommend a compacted base of 3–4u0022 of crushed stone for structural support and 1–2u0022 of finer gravel as a wearing surface for best drainage and longevity. Thicker bases reduce potholes and rutting, especially where trucks or SUVs are parked regularly.

Crushed stone (#57 or #411) is often the best value for West Tennessee driveways because it compacts well and promotes drainage, important in this region’s rainfall and freeze/thaw cycles. Pea gravel is more decorative but tends to migrate and requires edging or more maintenance, so it is less cost-effective for driveways. For most homeowners, a base of crushed stone with a finer topcoat balances cost, drainage, and durability.

Costs depend on width and depth; a 20' long by 10' wide driveway is 200 sq ft. At a 2u0022 depth you need about 1.25 cu yd (≈1–2 tons), but Hello Gravel’s 3-ton minimum means you may buy 3 tons—expect material plus delivery to commonly total roughly $150–$400 depending on material choice (pea vs crushed) and supplier. For full installation (grading, compaction) add labor costs; get a quote through our site for a location-specific price.

Hello Gravel partners with local suppliers serving Fairview, TN, but availability depends on your zip code. Many suppliers offer free or low-cost delivery for orders at or above regional minimums, and Hello Gravel’s platform requires a 3-ton minimum order. Delivery fees and timelines vary by supplier and distance—checkout shows confirmed delivery costs before you pay.

Suppliers need your delivery zip code, material type, length and width of the area, desired depth, and any access constraints (gate width, low overhead wires, driveway turn radius). Also note curb cuts, where you want the pile deposited, and whether you want tailgate spreading requested at checkout. Providing photos and a site plan speeds up and improves quote accuracy.

Yes—Hello Gravel’s website includes a material calculator and instant quote tool that shows estimated tons and price ranges after you enter zip code, area dimensions, and material type. The online estimate becomes a confirmed quote during checkout when supplier and delivery date are selected. For complex access or installation requests, contact our sales team for a more precise quote.

Some local suppliers and partner contractors near Fairview offer grading, compaction, and installation, but availability varies by supplier. Installation pricing commonly ranges from about $1.50 to $4.00 per sq ft depending on prep work, equipment needed, and soil conditions; simple tailgate spreading by the driver may be offered at their discretion for no guaranteed charge. Ask for itemized installation quotes and timelines when you request a job through Hello Gravel.
