A typical tri-axle dump truck used in our network carries about 10 to 14 tons of most gravel types, though exact capacity depends on the truck and the material's density. Hello Gravel coordinates the right truck for your order and will confirm the delivery size before dispatch. If you need more than one truckload we can schedule multiple deliveries.

Gravel is naturally rounded rock fragments collected from riverbeds or pits, while crushed stone is mechanically crushed rock with sharper, angular edges. For Spring Hill driveways and patios, crushed stone (like 3/4u0022 stone or crusher run) compacts and locks together better, while pea gravel or rounded gravel is often chosen for decorative paths and drainage because it is softer underfoot.

Local suppliers typically offer pea gravel, 3/8u0022 gravel, 1/2u0022 to 3/4u0022 crushed stone, and larger 1u0022 to 2u0022 decorative stone. Sizes determine use: pea gravel for play areas and drainage, 3/4u0022 crushed stone for driveways and base layers, and larger stone for decorative borders or erosion control. Availability can vary by local quarry, so check product listings for your zip code.

Coverage depends on depth and stone type, but one ton typically covers about 110 to 120 square feet at a 2-inch depth. At 4 inches deep the same ton covers roughly 55 to 60 square feet. Use our material calculator to get a precise estimate for your Spring Hill project and keep in mind compaction will reduce final thickness.

No, 2 inches is generally too thin for a driveway. For a durable gravel driveway in Spring Hill we recommend a compacted base of 4 to 6 inches of crusher run or road base, topped with 2 to 3 inches of 3/4u0022 crushed stone as a wearing layer. Soil type, drainage and vehicle weight can change those recommendations, so plan based on your site conditions.

Costs vary by width, depth, material, and delivery, but as an example a 20-foot-long by 10-foot-wide driveway (200 sq ft) with a 3-inch surface requires about 2.5 to 3 tons of stone. At $35 to $70 per ton that material cost would be roughly $105 to $210, plus any delivery or site-prep charges; Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons, so expect at least that billing.

Common lower-cost options in the Spring Hill area are crusher run or pit-run materials and basic limestone screenings, which are often used for road base and driveways. Price depends on local quarry output and demand, so the most affordable option may change; check Hello Gravel for current local pricing and minimums. Remember cheaper base material can be a cost-effective choice under a higher-quality surface stone.

Loose gravel will not harden like concrete, but materials and treatments can create a firm surface: decomposed granite (DG) compacted with a stabilizer, polymeric binders, or resin-bound gravel systems will lock particles together and produce a hard, stable finish. These options are available in our service area but often require professional installation and additional material costs compared with loose gravel.

A 100-foot-long driveway 10 feet wide (1,000 sq ft) with a 4-inch compacted depth needs about 12 to 13 cubic yards, which is roughly 16 to 18 tons of material. At $35 to $70 per ton, material alone would be roughly $560 to $1,260, plus delivery, excavation, grading, and compaction costs.

#3 gravel typically refers to small, pea-sized stones about 3/8 inch in diameter that are often rounded or slightly angular depending on the source. It is commonly used for decorative beds, pathways, and drainage around Spring Hill homes; availability depends on local suppliers and quarry inventory. Check our product listings for images and local stock levels.

For most Spring Hill driveways a layered approach works best: 4 to 6 inches of compactable base material like crusher run or 2A stone, topped with 2 to 3 inches of 3/4u0022 crushed stone or crushed limestone as the wearing surface. This combination resists rutting and sheds water well in Middle Tennessee conditions. If you need help choosing, our team can recommend a specific product based on your budget and soil conditions.
