Gravel in Wildwood Lake, TN

Prices vary by material type and local quarry, but expect rough estimates: common crushed stone or driveway gravel $30–$50 per ton, decorative or pea gravel $35–$70 per ton. A tri-axle dump load (about 10–12 tons) typically runs about $300–$840 delivered, depending on type and distance. These are estimates—request a local quote through Hello Gravel for an exact price.

Look for nearby quarries, landscape supply yards, masonry or paving contractors, and municipal recycling centers that sell bulk aggregates. Hello Gravel connects you to local, vetted suppliers and haulers in your zip code so you can compare price and availability without calling multiple yards.

Costs depend on width and depth. For a 20-ft by 10-ft driveway at 3u0022 depth you need about 1.85 cubic yards (roughly 2–3 tons); material plus delivery commonly runs $100–$400. At 4u0022 depth you need about 2.5 cubic yards and should budget about $150–$500. These are estimates—get a tailored quote for exact material type, compaction needs, and delivery details.

Buy in bulk (larger loads lower per-ton cost), combine orders with neighbors, pick up from a local quarry if you have a truck, or choose recycled asphalt/crushed concrete. Order off-season, ask suppliers about contractor or repeat-customer pricing, and compare quotes (Hello Gravel makes that easy by connecting you to local suppliers).

One cubic yard equals 27 cubic feet. It covers about 162 sq ft at 2u0022 depth, about 108 sq ft at 3u0022 depth, and about 81 sq ft at 4u0022 depth. Use those numbers to convert your project dimensions into cubic yards for ordering.

Pea gravel looks nice but moves easily, is hard to compact, and can scatter under vehicle traffic or heavy rain—common issues in Tennessee's wet climate. It can be difficult to mow over, may shift when plowed or driven on, and is not ideal for driveways with heavy vehicles or steep slopes.

Recycled crushed concrete and recycled asphalt are often cheaper than new stone and still provide a stable surface when compacted. Crusher run or dense-grade aggregate (DGA) is another economical option that compacts well for driveways. Compare durability and drainage needs: recycled materials can save money but may vary in consistency by supplier.

Hello Gravel’s platform has a 3-ton minimum order in many areas; tri-axle dump trucks are the common delivery method. Standard delivery is typically 2+ business days, with next-day available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Delivery fees vary—many areas have free delivery for typical loads, while small orders or long hauls may carry a surcharge.

Yes, many quarries and landscape suppliers offer volume discounts, contractor pricing, or account-based pricing for repeat customers. If you plan ongoing deliveries, ask suppliers for a contract rate or bulk pricing; Hello Gravel can help negotiate and connect you to suppliers that offer contractor discounts.

Crushed limestone or crushed stone (¾u0022 to 1u0022) and #57 stone are popular for Tennessee driveways because they compact well and shed water. Crusher run or DGA makes a good base layer under topstone. These materials are commonly available from regional quarries and usually fall in the low-to-mid price range compared to specialty decorative gravels.

Multiply length × width × depth (in feet) and divide by 27 to get cubic yards. To convert cubic yards to tons, multiply by the material’s typical weight—most gravel runs about 1.3–1.6 tons per cubic yard depending on rock type and moisture. If you prefer not to do the math, use Hello Gravel’s material calculator or contact our sales team for help.

Tennessee’s humid, sometimes heavy-rain climate means drainage and compaction matter—loose gravels can wash or rut without a stable base and good slope. Choose aggregates that compact well, add a compacted base layer or geotextile where water is an issue, and consider edge restraints to prevent spreading. Local suppliers will recommend materials that suit nearby soil and rainfall patterns.
