Delivered cost varies by material and distance, but expect roughly $30 to $70 per ton for common crushed gravel in the Tennessee Region, which converts to about $42 to $98 per cubic yard (using ~1.4 tons/yd3).

Hello Gravel provides exact, transparent quotes for your zip code and shows any delivery fees at checkout; our minimum order is 3 tons.

For driveways in Four Corners' humid, often clay-prone soils, crushed limestone or crushed stone #57 are top choices because they compact well and shed water when installed with a proper base. Pea gravel is attractive for garden paths but moves and can rut on driveways unless stabilized. Recycled aggregate can be a cost-effective base layer, but use crushed stone or limestone for the wearing surface and good drainage.

Using common driveway sizes (1-car = 10' x 20' = 200 ft2; 2-car = 20' x 20' = 400 ft2) and a conversion of 1 cubic yard = 1.4 tons: 1-car at 2u0022 needs ~1.7 tons (order 2 tons), 3u0022 needs ~2.6 tons (order 3 tons), 4u0022 needs ~3.5 tons (order 4 tons). For a 2-car: 2u0022 needs ~3.5 tons (order 4 tons), 3u0022 ~5.2 tons (order 6 tons), 4u0022 ~6.9 tons (order 7 tons). Add about 10% extra for compaction, grading, and waste, and remember our 3-ton minimum.

A well-installed gravel driveway in Tennessee can last 10 to 25 years before major replacement is needed, with regular maintenance extending life. Typical annual upkeep includes grading, filling potholes, and adding a thin top-up layer every few years; expect roughly $50 to $300 per year depending on driveway size and local material costs. Proper drainage and a good base are the biggest factors in reducing long-term maintenance.

Yes — rules vary by county and by HOA. Many rural properties allow gravel driveways, but some municipalities or HOAs restrict or require approval for gravel surfaces because of dust, runoff, or aesthetic standards. Before ordering, check with your county planning office and any HOA; we also recommend documenting approvals and planning for proper drainage to avoid code issues.

Clear a driving path at least 12 to 16 feet wide, remove low-hanging branches and obstacles, and make sure overhead wires are not in the truck's path. Mark the exact drop area with stakes or flags, park vehicles out of the way, and compact or prepare the subbase if you want the material to sit on a firm surface. If you want tailgate spreading, request it at checkout — drivers may do it at their discretion but it's not guaranteed.

For drainage areas and french drains, use angular crushed rock such as #57 stone or clean crushed stone that allows water to flow through. For garden or walking paths where comfort matters, pea gravel or small river rock is pleasant underfoot but consider an edging and stabilizer to keep it contained. In areas with heavy clay and wet weather, combine a compacted base with a gravel wearing layer to prevent sinking and mud.
