Stone in Philadelphia, TN

Prices vary by stone type, quantity, and delivery, but in West Tennessee expect rough delivered prices of about $30 to $70 per ton. A standard tri-axle load (roughly 10 to 12 tons) will commonly cost in the range of $300 to $840, including local delivery fees. Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum and can give a firm quote for your zip code and stone choice.

A typical tri-axle dump truck in our area carries about 10 to 12 tons of crushed stone. Using the per-ton range above, one truckload generally costs between $300 and $840 delivered to Philadelphia, TN, but exact pricing depends on the stone grade and access at the delivery site.

One ton of crushed stone is approximately 0.7 cubic yards and will cover about 231 sq ft at 1 inch depth, 115 sq ft at 2 inches, and 77 sq ft at 3 inches. Use these figures to estimate quantities for patios, paths, or driveway topcoats, and round up to meet Hello Gravel's 3-ton minimum if needed.

At $30 to $70 per ton, 20 tons will typically cost about $600 to $1,400 delivered in West Tennessee. Coverage depends on depth: at 2 inches 20 tons covers roughly 2,300 sq ft, and at 3 inches it covers about 1,540 sq ft.

With a 10–12 ton load, expect coverage of about 1,150 to 1,380 sq ft at a 2-inch depth and about 770 to 920 sq ft at a 3-inch depth. Exact coverage depends on the stone's compaction and particle size, so plan conservatively and order a little extra for settling and grading.

Assuming a 12-foot-wide driveway at a 3-inch topcoat, a 200 ft driveway is 2,400 sq ft and needs about 22 cubic yards or roughly 31 tons of stone. At $30 to $70 per ton, the stone alone would be about $930 to $2,170, not including any base work, grading, or delivery surcharges.

Two inches of stone is generally too thin as the only layer for a driveway and is best used as a top dressing over a well-compacted base. For a reliable residential driveway expect a compacted base of 4 to 6 inches and a 2 to 3 inch topcoat; heavier traffic or trucks require a thicker base. Have Hello Gravel deliver enough material for both base and surface, or consult our team for recommendations.

Ordering in larger quantities, choosing locally sourced stone types (like crushed limestone or recycled concrete), and scheduling standard delivery (2+ business days) usually lowers per-ton cost. Picking up at the quarry can be cheaper if you have a suitable vehicle, but Hello Gravel simplifies delivery logistics and can compare local supplier rates for you.

A 20x20 pad is 400 sq ft. For a 2-inch topcoat you'll need about 2.5 cubic yards (roughly 3.5 tons), and for a 3-inch layer about 3.7 cubic yards (about 5.2 tons), so plan to order 4 to 6 tons to meet Hello Gravel's minimum and allow for compaction. At $30 to $70 per ton, expect material costs from roughly $120 to $420 for the stone portion.

A 7x14 dump trailer with typical 18–24 inch sides will hold about 5 to 7 cubic yards of material, which equals roughly 7 to 10 tons of crushed stone depending on density. Exact capacity varies by side height and legal road limits, so check your trailer specs before loading.

If the driveway is 10 feet wide and you want a 3-inch topcoat, a 40 ft driveway (400 sq ft) needs about 3.7 cubic yards or roughly 5.2 tons of stone. For a 2-inch topcoat you would need about 2.5 cubic yards or about 3.5 tons, so round up to meet Hello Gravel's minimum and account for compaction.

Five tons of crushed stone is about 3.5 cubic yards, which typically forms a pile roughly 6 to 8 feet wide, 6 to 8 feet long, and 3 to 4 feet high depending on the stone shape. For context, that amount will cover roughly 385 sq ft at 1 inch, 190 sq ft at 2 inches, or 125 sq ft at 3 inches.

Locally sourced crushed limestone, crusher run, and recycled concrete are often the most affordable options in West Tennessee because they are common and easy to deliver. Prices vary by supplier and site access, so Hello Gravel can check local inventory and provide the best budget option for your zip code.

Coverage depends on depth: at a 1-inch depth 20 tons covers roughly 4,600 sq ft, at 2 inches about 2,300 sq ft, and at 3 inches about 1,540 sq ft. Always factor in compaction and slopes by ordering 5% to 10% extra when planning a large spread.

The numbers refer to gradation and typical uses: #53 (coarser) is good for base layers and drainage, while #73 (finer) compacts well and is often used as a surface or in concrete mix. Availability varies regionally in West Tennessee, so tell Hello Gravel what you are building (driveway, pad, or drainage) and we will recommend a locally available grade.
