Gravel in Sylvan Park, TN

A typical tri-axle dump truck carries about 10–12 cubic yards (~15–18 tons) of gravel, but exact capacity varies by truck. Prices depend on supplier, material, and distance; for planning, use your Hello Gravel quote tool or contact our team for an exact delivered price. If you want an example cost, tell us the material type and we can run a sample estimate — we do not publish guaranteed flat rates because local sourcing and hauling affect price.

One ton of pea gravel is roughly 0.67 cubic yards and will cover about 216 square feet at 1 inch deep, 108 sq ft at 2 inches, or 72 sq ft at 3 inches (using a common density of 1.5 tons/yd3). Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order, so single-ton deliveries are generally not available; you can order a 3-ton minimum or pick up smaller amounts from a local supplier. For precise coverage on your project, share the area dimensions and desired depth and we will calculate the amount.

Ten cubic yards is about 15 tons (using ~1.5 tons per cubic yard). Pricing and placement fees vary by supplier and truck access; Hello Gravel can provide an exact delivered price when you enter your zip code, but expect additional charges if you request tailgate spreading or if access is difficult. Note that spreading is performed at the driver's discretion and may incur an extra fee; if placement is required, tell us at checkout so we can flag the job.

Gravel is low-maintenance, durable, and excellent for drainage and pathways, but it has a higher upfront cost and can shift or migrate without edging. Mulch is cheaper initially, helps retain soil moisture and benefits plants, but needs annual replenishment and can attract pests in humid climates like middle Tennessee. For planted beds consider mulch; for long-lasting pathways, driveways, or drainage solutions gravel is often the better choice.

A common 2-car driveway (about 20' x 20') at a 4-inch depth needs roughly 4.9 cubic yards, which is about 7.5 tons using a 1.5 ton/yd3 conversion. Hello Gravel can deliver that amount; we have a 3-ton minimum and standard delivery is by dump truck. Drivers may perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, but spreading is not guaranteed and may incur extra charges for labor or difficult access.

Hello Gravel lists most materials and prices by the ton, which is the most consistent way to bill for delivered aggregates because weight controls haul limits. Cubic yards are useful for planning volume and on-site coverage. Cost-effectiveness depends on the material and project: ordering by ton is typical for delivery calculations, while you can convert to cubic yards for yardage planning using the approximate density we provide.

Hello Gravel’s standard delivery lead time is 2+ business days, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. We have a 3-ton minimum, so orders of 1–2 tons will usually require ordering at least 3 tons or arranging pickup; small-load surcharges or short-load fees may apply when requested. For an exact timeline and any small-order fees, check your zip code in our checkout or contact our sales team.

Yes, additional charges can apply when trucks must maneuver on narrow streets, park a long distance from the drop point, or when special permits or parking restrictions are involved, which is possible in Sylvan Park’s residential areas. Drivers may also charge for extra labor if offloading requires multiple stops, special placement, or protected landscaping. To help us price accurately, add delivery notes and photos of the access area at checkout or contact customer service before placing the order.

For driveways in Tennessee, 3/4u0022 crushed stone (sometimes called crusher run or 3/4u0022 clean) is typically best because it compacts well and provides a stable surface; pea gravel is attractive for walkways and patios but can shift under vehicle traffic. Price differences vary by local supply: crushed stone is often equal or slightly less costly per ton than decorative pea gravel, but regional availability can change that. If you’re unsure, tell us the use and traffic level and we’ll recommend a material and provide a local price quote.

A 10' x 20' patio at 3u0022 deep requires about 1.85 cubic yards, which is roughly 2.8 tons using a 1.5 ton/yd3 conversion. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum, so you would typically order 3 tons delivered; that meets the volume and gives a small extra for compaction and waste. Request a quote through our site or call/text our team with your zip code and any placement notes, and we will provide a delivered price and note whether spreading can be attempted by the driver.
