Gravel in Townsend, TN

Prices vary by stone type and supplier, but delivered gravel in the Townsend area commonly ranges roughly $25 to $60 per ton (about $18 to $45 per cubic yard). Final price depends on material size (screenings, crushed stone, washed gravel), truck distance, and seasonal demand — get an on‑site quote for an exact number.

A typical single dump truck load in the area is often 10 to 12 tons (approximately 7 to 9 cubic yards) and delivered cost usually falls in the low hundreds to several hundred dollars range depending on material and haul distance. Some local deliveries include the truck fee in the per‑ton price, while remote or tight‑access drops can add extra charges; request a full quote that includes delivery fees.

Hello Gravel’s minimum order is 3 tons for delivery. Bulk discounts or volume pricing are commonly available for larger projects — contact our sales team or request a quote to see tiered pricing for orders above a single truckload.

For most Townsend driveways, a 3/4u0022 crushed stone base with a 2–3u0022 top layer of 3/8u0022 to #57 stone works well for drainage and compaction. For a 12x40 driveway: 4u0022 depth needs about 7.7 tons and 6u0022 depth about 11.6 tons; for a 20x30 driveway: 4u0022 depth needs about 9.6 tons and 6u0022 depth about 14.4 tons (estimates assume ~1.3 tons per cubic yard). These are starting points — adjust for driveway slope, soil, and local frost/erosion conditions.

Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion if you request it at checkout, but Hello Gravel does not guarantee spreading, grading, or compaction services. For professional grading and compaction we recommend hiring a local contractor; tailgate spreading when available may incur an additional charge and is assessed by the driver on arrival.

Gravel prices often rise in spring and summer with higher construction and landscaping demand and after major storms when supplies tighten. Late fall and winter can be less busy and sometimes offer lower rates, but availability and weather can affect delivery — check current quotes and promotions for the most accurate timing.

Possibly — narrow, steep, or gated access can require a smaller truck, additional hauling, or hand‑unloading, and suppliers commonly charge long‑haul, gate, or access fees to cover the extra labor and time. Add clear notes and photos to your order so the supplier can assess access and include any potential extra fees in your quote.

Many local suppliers allow customer pickup at their yards, which can lower the per‑ton cost since delivery is removed from the price. Pickup load limits depend on the supplier and your vehicle; check the supplier’s weight and cubic yard limits and confirm whether the Hello Gravel minimum order still applies for pickup.

Yes — recycled crushed concrete and screened recycled aggregates are often available and tend to be less expensive than new crushed stone. They can perform well as base material but may have more fines, different drainage, and less long‑term appearance uniformity than virgin stone, so they are best for base layers or budget projects rather than top dressing.

Possibly — permit and HOA rules vary by county and subdivision; common restrictions include curb/roadside rules, driveway widenings, and materials allowed in visible front yards. Check with Blount County (or your local county office) and your HOA before ordering so you meet local regulations and avoid rework.
