Costs depend on width and depth; for a typical 200 ft by 10 ft driveway at 3 inches deep you would need about 25 tons of gravel, which translates to roughly $875 to $1,750 for materials at local per-ton prices.

A crushed, angular stone such as 3/4u0022 crushed stone or crushed limestone is commonly recommended because it compacts well and sheds water, which is helpful in Tennessee's seasonal weather. Topcoat sizing and a compacted base (larger base stone with a finer top layer) improve longevity and reduce rutting.

Yes—when installed correctly. Use a well-compacted larger-stone base with a finer topcoat, add proper drainage, and compact the surface to reduce frost heave and rutting during freeze-thaw cycles and heavy rains common in the region.

Hello Gravel arranges delivery by local dump truck fleets (typically tri-axle trucks) and offers optional tailgate spreading at the driver's discretion if requested at checkout. There is no guaranteed spreading service, so plan for additional labor if you need a finished surface.

Clear a reachable drop zone and make sure gates and access roads allow large dump trucks to enter and turn around; mark any low-clearance lines and call 811 to locate utilities if you will be digging. Note any neighborhood or road restrictions in your order notes so our haulers can plan routes and equipment.

Because materials are regionally sourced, color and texture can vary from photos; if the delivered material is a concern, contact Hello Gravel customer service promptly with photos and your order details. We will work with the supplier to review the issue and explain options according to our refund and resolution policies.
