Gravel in Nolensville, TN

A typical tri-axle dump truck for Nolensville holds about 10-12 cubic yards (roughly 13-16 tons). Delivered price for a full truckload in West Tennessee usually ranges from about $600 to $1,200 depending on gravel type, distance from the quarry, and local demand. Exact pricing and availability vary by supplier — check your zip code or get a quote for an accurate number.

In West Tennessee you can expect delivered gravel to commonly fall in the range of $30 to $60 per ton. Using 1 cubic yard ≈ 1.3 tons, that equals about $40 to $78 per cubic yard. Regional source, material type (rounded gravel vs crushed), and delivery distance will affect the final price.

Per-unit cost usually drops as quantity increases, so a full truckload is typically the cheapest per ton or per cubic yard. For small projects a per-ton or per-yard purchase may be more convenient; Hello Gravel’s minimum order is 3 tons. Balance per-unit savings against storage space and your project needs before choosing.

A 20x20 area is 400 sq ft. At 2u0022 depth you need about 2.5 cubic yards (≈ 3.3 tons); at 3u0022 depth about 3.7 cubic yards (≈ 4.8 tons), using 1 yd3 ≈ 1.3 tons. Round up and add 5-10% for compaction and waste — so order roughly 3.5 to 4 tons for 2u0022 and about 5.5 tons for 3u0022.

Two inches is only a thin top layer and is usually not enough on its own for a residential driveway in Nolensville. For long-term performance, plan for a properly compacted base (typically 4-6u0022 of crushed stone) with a 2-3u0022 finish layer of gravel. Local soil conditions and occasional freeze/thaw mean a solid base and good drainage are important.

Cost per foot depends on driveway width and prep work; for a 10 ft wide driveway (1,000 sq ft) delivered and installed you might see roughly $8 to $20 per linear foot. Narrower jobs with minimal prep land on the low end; full rebuilds with excavation, base rock, and compaction push toward the high end. Get a local estimate since site access, grading, and compaction requirements change the price.

DIY installation is feasible for small areas if you have a plate compactor, rake, and a helper for spreading. For driveways or larger areas professionals are usually worth it because they handle base preparation, proper grading, and compaction — all of which extend the life of the surface. If you order from Hello Gravel, you can request tailgate spreading at checkout, but drivers perform it at their discretion and it is not guaranteed.

Hello Gravel’s minimum order is 3 tons. Standard delivery is 2+ business days with many areas qualifying for free delivery, while next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Delivery fees depend on supplier distance, site access, and local hauler rates — check your zip code or request a quote for exact fees.

Crushed stone is made by mechanically breaking rock into angular pieces, so it compacts and locks together better than rounded gravel; that makes it a preferred choice for driveway base and finished surfaces. Crushed stone usually costs a bit more than rounded gravel per ton (commonly $5 to $15 more), but its better compaction often reduces maintenance and improves longevity. Regional availability influences both price and the exact product names you’ll see locally.

For a 1,000 sq ft area with a 3u0022 finish layer you need about 9.3 cubic yards (≈ 12.1 tons), which typically costs roughly $400 to $900 delivered depending on material and distance. For a driveway we generally recommend 4-6u0022 of compacted base plus a 2-3u0022 surface layer; building the full base increases material to roughly 28 cubic yards (≈ 36 tons) and can cost around $1,000 to $2,200 delivered.
