Gravel in Prospect, TN

Prices vary by type and supplier, but in West Tennessee you can typically expect $30 to $60 per ton for common gravel materials. Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum, so a small delivery will usually start around $90 to $180 for material plus any delivery fee; a full tri-axle load (10-14 tons) will cost proportionally more. Local factors like material type, accessibility, and seasonal demand can change the final price.

Near Prospect, common crushed stone or driveway gravel typically runs about $30 to $60 per ton, depending on size and finish. Specialty colors or washed pea gravel may be at the higher end of that range. Delivery and minimum-order rules affect the overall cost, so check the checkout total for exact pricing.

One ton of gravel covers roughly 120 square feet at a 2-inch depth, about 240 square feet at 1 inch, and about 80 square feet at 3 inches. Exact coverage depends on the gravel's density and size; heavier crushed stone will cover slightly less area than lighter decorative gravels. Use these figures to estimate quantities, and round up to allow for compaction and settling.

Two inches is not enough for a vehicle driveway; it may work for a walking path or decorative topping over a stable base. For driveways in West Tennessee's clay soils, we recommend at least 4 to 6 inches of compacted base (crusher run or road base) plus 1 to 2 inches of surface gravel for a durable finish. Proper grading and drainage are also important to prevent ruts and washouts.

Hello Gravel commonly uses tri-axle dump trucks, which in this region typically carry about 10 to 14 tons of gravel per load, with 12 tons being a common average. Smaller trucks may carry less, and legal weight limits or material density can change the exact tonnage. If you need a precise truck size, request that option when ordering.

Cost depends on the truck size and per-ton price; for example, a 12-ton tri-axle at $35 per ton would be about $420 for material before delivery fees. In Prospect, delivered truckloads commonly range from roughly $300 to $900 depending on material type, tonnage, and access. Hello Gravel shows final pricing at checkout so you can see material and delivery charges up front.

Buying in bulk by the ton and taking a full truckload usually gives the best price per ton, and choosing commonly available local materials will be cheaper than specialty decorative gravels. Picking up from a local supplier yourself can save on delivery if you have a suitable truck, but Hello Gravel can often negotiate competitive delivery rates through our network. Always compare per-ton price plus delivery to find the true cheapest option.
