Hello Gravel’s minimum order is 3 tons. Standard truck sizes vary by supplier; many local tri-axle trucks carry about 10 to 14 cubic yards, which for gravel usually translates to a wide tonnage range depending on density. Contact us if you need an exact truck capacity for your delivery.

One ton of typical crushed gravel in this region covers about 110 to 120 square feet at a 2u0022 depth and about 55 to 60 square feet at a 4u0022 depth. Exact coverage depends on stone size, compaction, and moisture. We recommend using our material calculator or contacting our team to refine estimates for your stone type.

No, 2u0022 of gravel is generally only a thin topcoat and is not sufficient as a driveway base. For a stable residential driveway we recommend at least 4u0022 of compacted base gravel and a 2u0022 to 3u0022 top layer of crushed stone; rural or heavy-use driveways often need 6u0022 or more of compacted base. Proper grading and drainage also matter in West Tennessee’s wet climate to prevent rutting and washouts.

For driveways, angular crushed stone like #57 or 3/4u0022 crushed rock is a strong topcoat because it locks together and resists movement. Use a coarser, compactable mix with fines (often called #411 or crusher run) for the base to create a stable foundation, and reserve pea gravel for decorative areas rather than primary drive surfaces. Local suppliers may offer blends tailored to West Tennessee soils and rainfall patterns, so ask about local mixes when ordering.

Material-only costs usually run roughly $0.60 to $2.00 per square foot depending on stone type and depth, plus delivery which varies by distance and truck size. If you include professional installation (grading, compaction, and base prep), expect additional labor and equipment costs that can add $1.00 to $3.00 or more per square foot. For a precise estimate for your Speedwell driveway, request a local quote that factors in access, existing base, and material choice.

Small communities like Speedwell may have county regulations, private road rules, or HOA guidelines that affect driveway materials, setbacks, or truck access. Before ordering, check with your county office, any HOA, and your township for permit or road-use rules, and let our team know about tight turns, narrow lanes, or weight-restricted roads so we can coordinate the right truck and delivery plan. We can also advise on common local restrictions when you provide your address.

One acre (43,560 sq ft) requires about 269 cubic yards (roughly 375 to 380 tons) of gravel at a 2u0022 depth, and about 537 cubic yards (roughly 750 to 760 tons) at a 4u0022 depth using a common density assumption. Actual tonnage varies with stone density; contact Hello Gravel for an exact calculation based on the specific product we will deliver. Large orders like this also require coordination with local haulers for multiple truckloads and staging.

The best time to lay gravel in Speedwell is when the ground is relatively dry—typically late spring through early fall—so you can achieve good compaction and avoid washouts from heavy rain. Winter and early spring can be wetter and make compaction harder, though mild dry spells may still work. Book in advance for busy seasons, request tailgate spreading at checkout if desired (driver will assess on arrival), and ask us about local timing tips for West Tennessee.
