Gravel in Kimball, TN

Retail prices vary by type and supplier, but expect approximate ranges in West Tennessee: crusher run $18 to $35 per ton, pea gravel $30 to $55 per ton, screened limestone $20 to $40 per ton, and river rock $40 to $75 per ton. Delivery can be free locally or add a flat fee of $50 to $150 for small loads, or roughly $6 to $12 per ton for longer hauls. Final price depends on supplier, load size, and delivery distance; check your zip code for exact quotes.

Hello Gravel partners with regional quarries and haulers that serve Marion County and nearby West Tennessee, but specific suppliers vary by zip code. Typical minimum orders for local delivery start around 3 tons (Hello Gravel's stated minimum), and delivery fees depend on distance, site access, and load size; rural or hard-to-access sites can incur higher charges. Use Hello Gravel's checkout or contact our team to see available suppliers, exact minimums, and any delivery fees for your address.

As a rule of thumb for common crushed gravel, plan on about 0.8 tons per 100 sq ft at 2u0022 depth, about 1.2 tons at 3u0022 depth, and about 1.6 tons at 4u0022 depth. These estimates use a typical density of about 1.3 tons per cubic yard; actual tonnage will vary with gravel type and moisture. Always round up and allow extra for compaction, grading, and waste; Hello Gravel's calculator can give a precise estimate for your project.

For clay-heavy, wet soils, choose angular, well-graded crushed stone (for example crusher run or crushed limestone with fines) because the fines help the material bind and resist rutting. Avoid smooth, rounded river rock and loose pea gravel for driveways, because they tend to shift and sink on clay. Also consider geotextile fabric beneath the gravel, proper subgrade compaction, and surface drainage to improve performance in West Tennessee's wet conditions.

Costs vary with site conditions, but a typical installed 12x30 (360 sq ft) gravel driveway in the Kimball area often runs roughly $1,200 to $3,000. That range covers basic grading, compaction, edging, and materials; tougher jobs with heavy excavation, poor soils, or extensive drainage work will be at the higher end. Ask for itemized quotes that show material, hauling, labor, and any geotextile or edge restraint costs.

Yes. Kimball's warm, humid climate and frequent heavy rains make spring through fall the best time for installation to avoid muddy conditions and poor compaction. While freeze-thaw cycles are milder than in northern climates, heavy rain can cause washouts and rutting, so plan for adequate drainage and check/repair after long wet periods. Regular maintenance is more important after winter and the rainy season to keep grades and drainage functioning.

Regulations vary by municipality and by any HOA, so check with the City of Kimball zoning office, Marion County planning department, or your HOA before installing a driveway. Many rural properties in Marion County allow gravel driveways, but setback, drainage, or stormwater rules and HOA covenants can add restrictions or design requirements. If you need help, contact Hello Gravel or your local permitting office to confirm rules for your specific address.

Expect routine maintenance—raking, regrading low spots, and topping up material—every 1 to 3 years for lightly used residential driveways, and more frequently on higher-traffic or poorly drained sites. Replenishing 1 to 2 inches across a typical driveway often costs roughly $50 to $300 for materials and delivery, plus $100 to $400 if you hire a contractor to grade and compact. Good drainage and edging reduce maintenance frequency and overall cost.

Deliveries to Kimball are typically by tri-axle dump truck and drop the load in a single pile at the agreed location; Hello Gravel offers scheduled delivery dates and works with local haulers. Drivers may be able to tailgate spread material at their discretion if requested at checkout, but spreading is not guaranteed and depends on site access and safety. Mark the delivery spot, clear overhead obstacles, and include delivery notes so the hauler can plan access.

Start by picking the intended use (driveway, drainage, landscaping, pathways) and traffic level; Hello Gravel's product pages describe appearance, size, and best uses for each gravel type. Use the online material calculator and the aggregate quiz for a quick tonnage estimate, then check the recommended minimum order (3 tons) and add extra for compaction and grading.
