Gravel in Monroe County, TN

You can order bulk gravel through Hello Gravel to connect with local suppliers and dump-truck haulers serving the Madisonville area. Local landscape supply yards, small quarries, and some concrete/stone yards in Monroe County also sell truckloads; big-box stores typically only sell bags. Check your zip code on our site or call our team to get supplier options, pricing, and delivery windows for your address.

Monroe County and nearby counties have small quarries and landscape yards that sell crushed stone, #57, 21A, and pea gravel by the truckload, but names and stock vary by town (Madisonville, Tellico Plains, Vonore area). Hello Gravel can match you with local suppliers that have the product you need and confirm truckload availability. If you prefer to call directly, ask local landscape yards or the county business directory for “crushed stone” or “gravel pit” listings.

Local prices fluctuate, but as a rule of thumb expect ranges: common crushed stone like 21A/#57 about $22 to $45 per ton, pea gravel about $25 to $55 per ton, and driveway mixes or screenings about $18 to $35 per ton. Delivery may be included in some quotes or add a fee based on distance and site access; Hello Gravel often shows transparent pricing and will estimate delivery for your address. Seasonal demand and truck accessibility for rural driveways can push the higher end of these ranges.

Many suppliers in Monroe County can do same-week delivery if they have inventory and a truck available, but it depends on schedule and site access. Hello Gravel standard lead time is 2+ business days with a next-day option for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee; our platform shows available delivery dates at checkout. Minimum order through Hello Gravel is 3 tons; individual suppliers or drivers may have larger truck minimums or extra fees for long hauls, narrow access, or off-road drops.

Receiving a gravel delivery to private property usually does not require a permit, but work that alters a driveway entrance, crosses county right-of-way, or impacts streams may need approval from Monroe County Road Department or Planning/Zoning. If you plan grade changes, large excavation, or work near wetlands or state waters, check with Monroe County offices and the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation before starting. When in doubt, contact the county road office to confirm whether a driveway permit or inspection is required.

Many local suppliers and landscape yards can provide small physical samples or photos of washed gravel and river rock so you can check color and texture before ordering. Availability of free samples varies by supplier; some may charge a small fee or ask you to pick them up. You can request samples or photos when you order through Hello Gravel and add preferences in the Order Notes so the supplier can confirm what they have in stock.

Common decorative options in the Monroe County area include locally sourced river rock, pea gravel, washed landscaping gravel, and colored crushed stone; exact color and texture reflect local geology. River rock and washed stone are popular for beds, water features, and edging because they are rounder and drain well, while crushed stone is better for driveways and compaction. Ask for photos or samples through Hello Gravel to see local color variations before you order.

Measure the area in square feet, choose your desired depth in inches, then use this rule: cubic yards = (area in sq ft x depth in inches) / 324. For weight, multiply cubic yards by about 1.4 tons per cubic yard (this varies by material); for example, a 200 sq ft driveway at 2 inches deep is about 1.2 cubic yards or roughly 1.7 tons. Use Hello Gravel’s material calculator or contact our team with your dimensions and project type for a quick estimate and recommended product.

Give the exact delivery address, gate codes, best access routes, uphill/downhill conditions, and any low bridges or narrow drives. Mention preferred drop location, whether you want tailgate spreading requested (driver will assess on arrival), and any obstacles like parked cars or livestock. Clear site details help suppliers choose the right truck and avoid extra fees or delays on rural Monroe County deliveries.
