Gravel in Old Sweetwater, TN

Prices vary by material and supplier, but in West Tennessee expect a delivered load to range roughly $300 to $1,100 depending on type and size. Common crushed drive‑grade gravels tend to be toward the lower end, decorative stone and specialty mixes toward the higher end. Exact cost depends on material type, truck size, delivery distance, and any site access or spreading requests; request a zip‑specific quote at checkout or call our team.

Most local tri‑axle dump trucks that Hello Gravel coordinates carry about 10 to 14 cubic yards of loose gravel, which is roughly 13 to 22 tons depending on the material. Gravel density varies (about 1.2 to 1.6 tons per cubic yard), so we give both cubic yard and ton estimates on quotes to match your material choice.

Use area times depth divided by 27 to get cubic yards. For example, a 12 ft x 20 ft one‑car driveway at 3 inches deep needs about 0.9 cubic yards (roughly 1.3 tons); a 20 ft x 40 ft two‑car driveway at 4 inches needs about 11.9 cubic yards (roughly 16 to 19 tons). For driveways plan a 3 to 4 inch top layer of gravel over a 4 to 6 inch crushed stone base for good durability, depending on soil and drainage.

Hello Gravel has a minimum order of 3 tons. Delivery fees depend on your zip code, supplier availability, and truck access; many areas offer free delivery while others have a small fee. Exact delivery pricing is shown at checkout or you can contact our sales team for a firm figure.

Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion if access and safety allow, but this is not guaranteed. Compacting is generally not provided; we recommend hiring a contractor or renting a plate compactor to achieve a stable surface after delivery. You can request spreading at checkout so the driver is aware, but they will assess feasibility on arrival.

For driveways, crushed stone with fines (often called 3/4u0022 minus or #21A) creates a firm, interlocking surface. For drainage and French drains, use clean washed gravel or 3/4u0022 crushed stone without fines to allow water flow. For landscaping and borders, pea gravel or river rock give a decorative look; remember regional suppliers in West Tennessee may offer slightly different colors and textures based on local geology.

Standard delivery is 2+ business days from order confirmation. Next‑day delivery is sometimes available for orders placed before noon CST and may carry an extra fee. Availability depends on local supplier and truck schedules, so check the delivery calendar at checkout for specific dates.

Yes, seasonal factors can affect price and availability. Winter weather, muddy conditions, or soft ground can add access fees or require extra handling; fuel and market fluctuations also influence material cost. We note these possibilities on quotes and will communicate any additional fees before dispatch whenever possible.

Hello Gravel can provide a written quote that includes material and delivery costs for your project. Labor or spreading/compaction costs depend on third‑party contractors and can be added if a local hauler or partner offers the service; contact our sales team to include contractor labor in a combined estimate.

Local rules such as county road weight limits, overnight parking restrictions, or HOA requirements can affect delivery. For rural driveways in Monroe County and Old Sweetwater, narrow roads and tight turns may require smaller trucks or off‑street staging; please note access details in Order Notes and check with your county road department or HOA if unsure.
