Gravel in Maryville, TN

Prices vary by material, but most common landscape gravel in Maryville runs roughly $30 to $60 per ton. A typical tri-axle dump truck load (10-12 tons) will therefore often land in the $300 to $700 range before delivery fees; Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum and regional pricing can shift costs, so check your zip code for an exact quote.

Most local dump trucks serving Maryville are tri-axles that carry about 10 to 12 tons (roughly 10 to 12 cubic yards) of loose gravel, depending on the material density. Exact payloads vary by truck and gravel type, so Hello Gravel recommends ordering by tons or requesting a supplier estimate at checkout.

Buying bulk delivered gravel is almost always cheaper than buying bags from a retail store; choose a commonly available local material like crushed limestone or crusher-run for the best price. Scheduling standard delivery through Hello Gravel and ordering the right quantity (avoid large leftover waste) also keeps per-ton costs lower.

Prices are often similar because 'gravel' and 'crushed stone' overlap in local supply chains, but naturally rounded river gravel can sometimes cost more than locally crushed limestone. Local geology around Maryville determines what is common and affordable, so check specific material prices on Hello Gravel to compare options in your area.

A quick rule: 1 ton of gravel is about 0.7 cubic yards and will cover approximately 231 sq ft at 1 inch depth, about 116 sq ft at 2 inches, or about 77 sq ft at 3 inches. Coverage depends on the gravel type and how tightly it is compacted, so use these as estimates and round up slightly for waste.

Two inches is not sufficient as the full structural depth for a driveway; Maryville driveways typically need a compacted base of 4 to 6 inches of larger aggregate plus a 1 to 2 inch wearing layer of smaller gravel. For vehicle traffic and local freeze-thaw conditions, build a proper base before adding a thin surface layer.

For a modest single-car 20 ft by 20 ft driveway (400 sq ft) at a compacted 4-inch depth you would need roughly 5 cubic yards (about 7 tons). At local rates of $30 to $60 per ton, material cost is often $200 to $420, with delivery and site prep bringing a typical total to about $350 to $800 depending on material choice and site work.

A 100 ft long driveway that is 12 ft wide equals about 1,200 sq ft; at a 4-inch compacted depth you need roughly 15 cubic yards (about 21 tons). With material costs commonly between $30 and $60 per ton and adding delivery and preparation, expect a ballpark of $900 to $2,000—contact Hello Gravel for a site-specific quote.

Yes, homeowners in Maryville often install gravel themselves, but proper prep matters: grading, removing organic topsoil, installing geo-fabric if needed, compacting a base, and adding edging will extend performance. If you need delivery and optional tailgate spreading, Hello Gravel can arrange trucks but tailgate spreading is performed at the driver's discretion and is not guaranteed.

Expect most common landscape gravels in the Maryville area to fall in the $30 to $60 per ton range, with decorative or specialty gravels costing more. Prices change with material type, supplier, and season, so check Hello Gravel for up-to-date, location-specific pricing.

Recycled crushed asphalt or crusher-run (stone with fines) are commonly cheaper alternatives that compact firmer than decorative gravel and are widely available in West Tennessee. Keep in mind appearance and drainage differ, so weigh long-term maintenance costs and local availability when choosing.

No plain loose gravel becomes true concrete, but mixes with fines such as crusher-run compact very hard when well compacted; stabilized options like polymer-modified gravel or resin-bound aggregates are engineered to set firm but are priced higher. For a concrete-like surface in Maryville consider a base of compacted crusher-run topped with a stabilizer or consult a contractor for paving alternatives.

A 10 cubic yard load (roughly 14 tons depending on the material) can range from about $400 to $1,200 in the Maryville area depending on material type and supplier.

For 1,000 sq ft at a 2-inch depth you need about 6.2 cubic yards (roughly 8.6 tons); at 4 inches depth you need about 12.4 cubic yards (roughly 17.3 tons).
