Gravel in Arthur, TN

Local prices in West Tennessee vary by material and supplier, but expect approximate ranges: crushed stone $30-$55 per ton, pea gravel $35-$65 per ton, and limestone screenings $25-$45 per ton. A rough conversion is 1 cubic yard equals about 1.2-1.4 tons for most gravels, so multiply the per-ton price by ~1.3 to estimate per cubic yard. Final price depends on local supply, haul distance, and taxes; use Hello Gravel to get an exact quote for Arthur zip codes.

Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and contracted trucking companies that serve Arthur and surrounding West Tennessee counties. Standard material delivery is 2+ business days, with next-day delivery available for orders placed before noon CST when local supply and schedules permit; contractor installation lead times are often 1-2 weeks depending on demand. Rural jobs can take longer due to haul distance and access constraints, so book early for spring and fall projects.

For clay-heavy sites around Arthur, angular crushed stone (for example 3/4" crushed stone) is usually best because it locks together and sheds water better than rounded rock. Use larger, well-graded base stone (3/4" minus or 1"-1.5") compacted as a base and a finer topcoat (pea gravel or screenings) only where good drainage exists. Avoid using only fine materials over clay, since they can retain water and lead to rutting and washouts.

For a 10x20 driveway (200 sq ft): 4" depth equals about 2.5 cubic yards (~3.2 tons); 6" depth equals about 3.7 cubic yards (~4.8 tons. For a 12x30 driveway (360 sq ft): 4" depth equals about 4.4 cubic yards (~5.8 tons); 6" depth equals about 6.7 cubic yards (~8.7 tons). In West Tennessee clay conditions we typically recommend a sturdy base (4-6" compacted crushed stone) plus a 2-3" wearing layer, so total depths of 6" or more are common for lasting performance.

Late spring through early fall is generally the easiest time to schedule delivery and installation in Arthur because ground is drier and access is better. Winter and early spring can bring frozen or muddy ground and heavier rains that delay deliveries or make spreading and compaction difficult. Suppliers may deliver year-round, but weather and road conditions in West Tennessee affect timing and access, so plan accordingly.

Permitting rules vary by county and municipality; many rural Arthur addresses do not require a permit for changing surface material, but local zoning or road-access rules can apply. If you are in an HOA or a subdivision, covenants may restrict gravel driveways or require preapproval, so check your HOA rules and call the Benton County planning or permitting office to confirm before ordering. Hello Gravel can help get materials, but we recommend verifying permits and covenants first.

Expect ongoing maintenance: light grading and filling low spots once or twice a year and adding 1" of fresh topcoat every 1-3 years depending on traffic and rainfall. Full resurfacing or major replenishment is commonly needed every 2-6 years in West Tennessee, with more frequent work where heavy rains, poor drainage, or high traffic accelerate material loss. Good drainage, proper base depth, and periodic compaction reduce maintenance needs.

Gravel has the lowest up-front cost and offers good drainage on wet clay soils, but it requires the most ongoing maintenance. Asphalt is mid-range up-front, gives a smooth surface with lower short-term maintenance, but needs periodic sealcoating and can trap water without proper base and drainage. Concrete has the highest initial cost and low short-term maintenance, but it can be less forgiving on clay subgrades and has poorer surface drainage unless you add design features; local soil and budget often make gravel the practical choice for rural Arthur properties.

Start by grading and establishing proper drainage with a crowned profile, then install a geotextile fabric if the subgrade is soft clay to reduce mixing and rutting. Place a compacted base of 4-8" of angular, well-graded crushed stone, compact in lifts, and finish with a 2-3" wearing layer of the chosen topcoat; use edging to retain material. Proper compaction, drainage swales, and avoiding fines directly on clay are key to longevity in West Tennessee.

Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons, and standard delivery is scheduled for 2+ business days; next-day delivery may be available for orders placed before noon CST depending on local availability. Rural deliveries can incur extra fees for long haul distances, narrow or steep driveways, or restricted access where dump trucks cannot safely back in. Provide clear access notes at checkout (driveway width, gate, low wires) so suppliers can confirm truck type and any additional charges before dispatch.

As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.
