Gravel in West Point, TN

Delivered gravel prices in West Point usually vary by material and distance, but expect roughly $30 to $50 per ton for common crushed stone or driveway mix. A typical tri-axle delivery (see note below) can run several hundred to a few thousand dollars depending on load size; small orders may hit Hello Gravel's 3-ton minimum. For an exact delivered price, check your zip code on our site or request a quote because local supplier rates and truck fees change by neighborhood and material type.

For most homeowners ordering 3 tons or more, bulk delivery is the most cost-effective because it includes hauling and avoids rental or fuel costs. Pickup can be cheapest only for very small loads when you have an appropriate vehicle and time. Contractor-supplied material plus installation will be the most convenient but typically costs more because you are paying for labor, machine time, and site prep.

A delivered dump-truck load price depends on the truck size and material, but expect a full tri-axle truck (commonly used in the region) to deliver roughly 10 to 16 cubic yards of loose gravel. Using a rough delivered price of $30 to $50 per ton and a conversion of about 1 cubic yard ≈ 1.4 tons, a single truckload will commonly fall in the mid-hundreds to low-thousands of dollars. Ask Hello Gravel for a localized truckload quote since exact capacity and fees vary by supplier and job site access.

Use this quick method: multiply square footage by depth (in feet) then divide by 27 to get cubic yards. For reference, 1 cubic yard covers 324 sq ft at 1 inch depth, and 1 cubic yard is roughly 1.4 tons (varies by material). Example: a 20 ft by 100 ft driveway (2,000 sq ft) at 3 inches needs about 18.5 cubic yards or roughly 26 tons.

No, 2 inches is generally too thin for a driveway. For West Point's soil and rainfall, plan on at least 4 inches of compacted surface gravel for light, infrequent use, and 6 inches or more for regular vehicle traffic; a compacted base or crushed stone base under the surface layer will improve performance. If your yard has clay or poor drainage consider geotextile fabric and increased depth to prevent rutting.

Material-only costs depend on depth and delivered price per ton. Using $30 to $50 per ton as a local delivered range: a 20x20 (400 sq ft) driveway at 4 inches needs ~4.9 cubic yards (~6.9 tons), costing roughly $210 to $345 in materials. A 20x100 (2,000 sq ft) at 3 inches needs ~18.5 cubic yards (~26 tons), costing roughly $780 to $1,300 for materials; installation and site prep by a contractor would add to those numbers.

A tri-axle dump truck typically carries about 10 to 16 cubic yards (roughly 14 to 22 tons depending on material). At 3 inches depth, that equals roughly 1,080 to 1,728 square feet of coverage; at 4 inches it covers about 810 to 1,296 square feet. Exact capacity varies by truck, local load limits, and material density, so confirm with your quote if you need a single-truck delivery.

A 7x14 dump trailer commonly carries about 4 to 7 cubic yards, depending on side height and payload limits. That is roughly 6 to 10 tons of gravel, but weight depends on the type of stone. Always check your trailer's weight rating and local road limits before loading.

For driveway use in West Point, 3/4u0022 crushed stone (often sold as #57) in gray or local tan hues is a reliable choice because it compacts and drains well; pea gravel and river rock are popular for decorative beds and pathways. Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers, so available colors will reflect West Tennessee geology—feel free to add a color preference in your Order Notes or contact our team for local options. Keep in mind natural materials vary by supplier and season.

Yes, #57 gravel is a common driveway material in West Tennessee. '#57' refers to a size mix of crushed stone roughly 1/2u0022 to 1u0022 with angular edges that lock together for good compaction and drainage. For best results combine #57 with a finer base layer and proper compaction, especially over clay soils or areas with heavy rainfall.

Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum order and typically delivers via contracted dump truck fleets (often tri-axle) sourced locally. Standard delivery takes 2+ business days; next-day delivery may be available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. You can request tailgate spreading at checkout but drivers perform spreading at their discretion and it is not guaranteed.
