A standard tri-axle dump truck carries about 10 to 12 tons, so a full truckload delivered to Tiptonville will usually run in the range of about $400 to $900, depending on the per-ton price and any hauling or access fees. Narrow driveways, long drives from the road, or required permits can add to cost. Ask Hello Gravel for a firm full-load quote for your zip code and site details.

Two inches is generally too thin for a driveway surface in West Tennessee, especially with local clay soils and seasonal wetness; it may work only as a light top dressing over a well-compacted base. For a residential driveway we usually recommend 3 to 4 inches of surface gravel over a compacted subbase, and 6 inches or more for a new driveway or heavier vehicle traffic. Proper grading and compaction are important because local soils can hold moisture and cause rutting.

For a typical 2-car driveway of about 20 ft by 24 ft (480 sq ft): 2 inches deep is about 3.0 cubic yards (roughly 4.5 to 5 tons), 3 inches is about 4.5 cubic yards (about 6.5 to 7.5 tons), and 4 inches is about 6.0 cubic yards (about 8.5 to 9.5 tons). Tons per cubic yard vary by gravel type (usually about 1.4 to 1.6 tons/yd3), so give your exact dimensions and desired depth to get a precise quote. Hello Gravel also offers a material calculator and the sales team can double-check quantities for Tiptonville projects.

Common choices for driveways and rural roads here are crusher run/road pack for a strong base, #57 crushed stone for good drainage and traction, and pea or river gravel for a decorative top layer. Crusher run or road pack is typically the most economical per ton, #57 crushed stone is mid-range, and washed or decorative gravels are usually the most expensive. Availability and exact pricing reflect regional sourcing, so local color and gradation will vary in Tiptonville.
