Gravel in West Moreland, TN

In West Moreland and the broader West Tennessee area, common gravel typically runs about $30 to $60 per ton depending on type (pea gravel, crushed stone, or base). Regional variations, delivery fees, and material grade can change the final price, so check our quote tool for a zip-code specific estimate.

A standard tri-axle dump truck in this region usually carries about 10 to 12 tons of gravel, so material cost alone commonly falls between $300 and $720 at $30-$60 per ton. Delivery fees and any special handling or spreading will add to that total.

Buying in bulk (minimum 3 tons) from a local supplier and choosing common materials like crushed limestone or river-run gravel usually gives the lowest per-ton price. Scheduling standard delivery (2+ business days) and avoiding add-on services like tailgate spreading will also keep costs down.

Prices are often similar because crushed stone and gravel can come from local sources, but plain river-run gravel or washed pea gravel can be marginally cheaper than specialty crushed stone. Costs depend on availability and how much processing (crushing, screening) the material requires.

Coverage depends on stone density and depth. As a rule of thumb in West Moreland, 1 ton will cover about 80 to 120 square feet at a 2-inch depth and about 50 to 70 square feet at a 3-inch depth. Use our material calculator for a precise estimate based on the gravel type you choose.

Two inches is generally too thin for a regular driveway because it won’t provide adequate support or drainage under vehicle traffic. For most residential driveways in this area, a compacted base of 4 to 6 inches is recommended, with a 1 to 2 inch wearing layer on top if desired. Soil type and local drainage can change those recommendations, so consider a thicker base on clay soils common in West Tennessee.

For a 20 ft long by 10 ft wide driveway at a 4-inch compacted depth (200 sq ft), you need roughly 2.5 cubic yards or about 3.5 tons of gravel. At $30 to $60 per ton, material cost would be about $105 to $210, plus delivery and any spreading or compaction charges. Prices vary by supplier and exact material choice.

Material for a full tri-axle load (10-12 tons) typically costs $300 to $720 based on common local rates, and delivery fees vary by distance and access in West Moreland. If you need next-day delivery or tailgate spreading, expect additional fees; standard delivery usually takes 2+ business days.

A 10-ton load can cover roughly 1,000 to 1,500 square feet at a 2-inch depth, or about 600 to 800 square feet at a 3-inch depth, depending on stone density. Coverage decreases as the required depth increases, so plan based on the compacted depth you want.

Assuming a 100 ft long by 12 ft wide driveway at 4 inches deep (1,200 sq ft), you would need about 14.8 cubic yards or roughly 20 to 22 tons of gravel. At $30 to $60 per ton, material costs are approximately $600 to $1,320, plus delivery and compaction costs. Local site prep, drainage work, and material choice will affect the final price.

Recycled crushed concrete or crusher-run (a mix of stone and fines) is often cheaper than new decorative gravel and can perform well for driveways and base layers. Be aware recycled materials can vary more in appearance and drainage, so choose based on budget and the look/function you need.

Ten cubic yards of loose gravel weighs roughly 13 to 16 tons depending on the type; at $30 to $60 per ton, expect material costs in the ballpark of $400 to $1,000. Delivery charges and hauling limits can change the total, so request a zip-code specific quote for an accurate price.

Gravel alone does not harden like concrete, but materials like crusher run (stone with fine rock dust) compact tightly and form a stable surface. For a hardened finish, contractors sometimes use a stabilized gravel product or add a binding agent or polymer stabilizer to lock the stones in place.

For 1,000 sq ft at a 2-inch depth you need about 5.1 cubic yards, roughly 7 to 8 tons; at 4 inches you need about 10.2 cubic yards, roughly 14 to 16 tons. Material costs at $30 to $60 per ton put a 2-inch layer in the range of $210 to $480 and a 4-inch layer around $420 to $960, not including delivery, compaction, or site prep.

A 20x20 gravel area (400 sq ft) at a 4-inch depth requires about 4.9 cubic yards or roughly 6.5 to 7 tons; material costs at $30 to $60 per ton are roughly $200 to $420 plus delivery and compaction. Asphalt for the same area is typically much more expensive, often several times the gravel cost once material, labor, and installation are included; get local asphalt quotes for comparison.
