Hello Gravel works with trusted local suppliers across West Tennessee and can check availability for your zip code; many local haulers use tri-axle dump trucks and require a 3-ton minimum. Some small local yards or sideloaders may have different minimums, and next-day delivery is sometimes available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee.

For Maury City conditions, a crushed stone mix with fines (often called crusher run or 3/4u0022 minus) is a good base because it compacts and locks together, helping resist rutting on clay. Top with a 3/4u0022 crushed stone or angular 3/4u0022-1u0022 surface stone for traction; avoid plain pea gravel on primary driveways because it tends to migrate and float on saturated clay.

Use these estimates assuming 1.4 tons per cubic yard: 12x20 at 3u0022 needs about 2.2 cubic yards (3.1 tons) and at 4u0022 about 3.0 cubic yards (4.1 tons); at 6u0022 it's about 4.4 cubic yards (6.2 tons). For 20x24, 3u0022 is about 4.4 cubic yards (6.2 tons), 4u0022 about 5.9 cubic yards (8.3 tons), and 6u0022 about 8.9 cubic yards (12.4 tons). Round up to the nearest half ton and remember Hello Gravel minimum orders start at 3 tons, so small jobs may require ordering a bit more.

Plan to regrade and dress a gravel driveway at least once a year after wet seasons, with light top-ups of 1/2u0022 to 1u0022 of stone every 1-3 years depending on traffic. With regular maintenance, a well-built gravel driveway in Maury City can perform well for 10 years or more before major rebuilding is needed; type of stone and subgrade prep strongly affect lifespan.

Yes — open-graded stone and properly installed trenches or French drains are effective for managing runoff on slopes over Maury City clay soils. Use geotextile fabric, place larger aggregate (1u0022-2u0022) in drain trenches, and create graded swales or check-dams to slow water; install a compacted crushed-stone base and surface stone for stable driveways that shed water.

Upfront, gravel is the least expensive option (often $1-$3 per sq ft installed for simple projects), asphalt is mid-range (roughly $3-$7 per sq ft), and concrete is usually highest (about $6-$12 per sq ft), though local bids can vary. Gravel requires more frequent maintenance and topping, so long-term costs depend on how much upkeep you do; asphalt and concrete have higher initial costs but lower regular maintenance for many years.

Local rules can vary; many homeowners do not need a permit for a simple driveway on private property, but permits or county approval may be required for curb cuts, driveway connections to public roads, or significant runoff changes. Check with Maury City Hall or Crockett County building and zoning before you start, and review any HOA rules if you have one to confirm acceptable materials and any stabilization requirements.

Provide your full address, preferred delivery date, desired material type and color notes, and any site access details (driveway width, overhead wires, where you want the truck to dump). Ask about the 3-ton minimum, request tailgate spreading if you want it noted (subject to driver discretion), and request a live quote to confirm price and delivery timing.
