Gravel in Waverly, TN

Delivered price depends on gravel type, quantity, and delivery distance. Typical delivered cost in West Tennessee runs roughly $30-$65 per ton for common gravels, so a full tri-axle load (often 10-16 tons depending on truck and material) can range widely; expect approximately $300-$1,000+ including delivery.

In Waverly and the West Tennessee region, standard crushed gravel typically runs in the $30-$55 per ton range delivered, while pea gravel is usually pricier, commonly $40-$70 per ton delivered because it is more decorative and sometimes harder to source. Final prices depend on supplier, seasonal demand, and delivery distance, so check Hello Gravel quotes for precise per-ton pricing.

Assuming a 100 ft long by 10 ft wide driveway (1,000 sq ft), use the rule: cubic yards = (sq ft x depth in inches) / 324, then multiply by about 1.4 tons per cubic yard. That yields approximately 8.7 tons (round to 9) at 2u0022, 13.0 tons (round to 13) at 3u0022, and 17.3 tons (round to 17) at 4u0022; include 5-10% extra for compaction and waste when ordering.

For Waverly's West Tennessee soils and occasional heavy rain events, 2 inches is usually too thin for a driveway surface; it can wash out or shift, especially over clay or poorly drained soil. We recommend a proper base: 4-6 inches of compacted crushed stone or recycled base with 2-3 inches of surfacing gravel on top, and consider geotextile fabric and proper grading for drainage.

Coverage varies with depth: 1 ton of typical gravel is roughly 0.71 cubic yards, so it will cover about 116 sq ft at 2u0022, 77 sq ft at 3u0022, and 58 sq ft at 4u0022. To calculate your needs use cubic yards = (area in sq ft x depth in inches) / 324, then multiply by about 1.4 to convert to tons; or use Hello Gravel’s material calculator for an instant Waverly-specific estimate.

Many local suppliers serving Waverly have minimums (Hello Gravel’s minimum is 3 tons), and most deliveries use tri-axle dump trucks which carry larger loads. Delivery charges vary by distance, access, and truck type; Hello Gravel shows transparent delivery fees during checkout and can arrange smaller or larger trucks through local haulers when available—contact our team for options for your address.

In flood-prone areas around Waverly, choose aggregates and sections that improve drainage and resist washout: a compacted base of No. 57 or 3/4u0022 crushed stone, open-graded stone for drainage, and washed stone on top work well. Increasing base depth, adding geotextile fabric, and grading to shed water are smart steps; for yards consider river rock or larger aggregate in low areas and consult local codes or an engineer for high-risk zones.

For 1,000 sq ft at 4 inches you need about 17 tons of gravel. Material plus delivery at typical West Tennessee rates ($35-$60/ton) would put material costs roughly $600-$1,100; grading and spreading labor or machine work can add $300-$1,000 depending on site access and scope. Some local suppliers and contractors offer spreading and grading (tailgate spreading may be offered at the driver's discretion), so request a combined material and installation quote through Hello Gravel.

Pea gravel is decorative and comfortable to walk on but tends to shift, rut, and migrate under vehicle traffic, making it less ideal as a primary driveway surface. Crushed stone (3/4u0022 or similar) compacts and locks together for a stable driving surface and better drainage; it is typically less expensive per ton than pea gravel. A common approach is a compacted crushed-stone base with a thin top dressing of pea gravel for appearance if desired.

Typical lead time for delivery is 2+ business days, and Hello Gravel offers next-day delivery for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. You can choose a preferred delivery date at checkout, and drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion; always confirm scheduling and access details for your Waverly property when you order.
