Gravel in Atwood, TN

A typical tri-axle dump truck used in West Tennessee carries about 10 to 12 tons of gravel. Delivered price varies by type and season, but expect roughly $30 to $75 per ton in the Atwood area, so a full tri-axle load commonly runs about $300 to $900. Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum and can show exact local quotes for your zip code.

Gravel is usually sold by the ton on Hello Gravel; some suppliers also quote by the cubic yard or in 50 lb bags. As a rule of thumb 1 ton is about 0.7 cubic yards (and 1 cubic yard is about 1.4 tons), so check the unit when you compare prices. Our checkout shows tons and converts to cubic yards so you know how much you are ordering.

Crushed gravel is mechanically broken rock with angular edges that locks together and compacts well, making it a good choice for driveways and bases. Natural or river gravel is rounded, smoother, and drains well, so it is often used for decorative beds and walkways. In West Tennessee you will see both types due to local quarrying and river deposits, so pick crushed for load-bearing surfaces and natural for appearance.

In and around Atwood you can get gravel from local quarries, county rock pits, and landscape supply yards; Hello Gravel connects you with nearby suppliers and haulers so you can compare prices and delivery. Because Atwood is a small community (about 1,500 residents), nearby suppliers may be in neighboring towns or counties, so use our zip-code lookup to confirm availability and delivery options. If you need quick service, call our team and we can often schedule delivery or point you to the closest pit.

Cost depends on length, width, depth, and material. For example a 20 ft wide by 50 ft long driveway (1,000 sq ft) with a 4-inch compacted base typically needs about 12 cubic yards (roughly 16 to 18 tons), which in West Tennessee can cost roughly $480 to $1,350 delivered depending on stone type and supplier.

Generally no; 2 inches is too thin for a driveway and will rut or wash away under vehicle traffic. For a durable residential driveway we recommend 4 inches of compacted top gravel over a compacted base (6 inches or more of base material for heavy vehicles). For paths or decorative areas 1.5 to 2 inches may be acceptable on a prepared subgrade.

Coverage depends on depth. As a guideline in West Tennessee: 1 ton covers about 231 sq ft at 1 inch depth, about 116 sq ft at 2 inches, about 77 sq ft at 3 inches, and about 58 sq ft at 4 inches. Actual coverage varies with the stone size, moisture, and compaction, so use these figures as estimates and round up for waste.

Buying in bulk for delivery is usually the most cost-effective option rather than buying multiple bags. Choose commonly available materials in the region (for example crushed limestone or road base in West Tennessee), compare local suppliers via Hello Gravel, and schedule standard delivery (2+ business days) to avoid rush fees. Recycled base or crusher-run is often less expensive when suitable for your project.

Cost per linear foot varies with driveway width and depth. For a 100 ft long by 12 ft wide driveway (1,200 sq ft) at a 4-inch depth you might need around 15 to 18 tons, which in Atwood typically costs about $450 to $1,300 total — roughly $4.50 to $13 per linear foot. Use exact dimensions and material choice in Hello Gravel to get an accurate per-foot price for your location.

No gravel turns into concrete, but crusher-run and stone-dust mixes (material with fines) compact into a very firm surface good for driveways and bases. Crushed limestone with fines often compacts particularly well in West Tennessee and is commonly used under paving and for driveways. If you need a rigid surface resembling pavement, consider proper base preparation, compaction, and a layer of compactable stone rather than expecting loose gravel to behave like concrete.

Locally sourced crushed limestone or road-base material is often the most affordable option in the Atwood area because of regional availability. Recycled concrete or crusher-run can be even cheaper where permitted for your project, but check whether it meets your appearance and drainage needs. Prices vary by supplier, so compare quotes on Hello Gravel before ordering.

Free gravel is uncommon and usually comes from surplus county road work or private landowners; these sources are irregular and may require permits or permission. We recommend planning on purchased material for dependable quality and delivery; Hello Gravel can help find the most budget-friendly local options. If you do locate free material, inspect it for suitability and clean-up requirements first.

Tractor Supply and similar stores typically carry bagged decorative gravels and small quantities suitable for garden projects, but not bulk loads for driveways. For bulk driveway or large landscaping needs you should order by the ton through Hello Gravel for delivery by dump truck. If you need a few bags for touch-ups, local stores can be convenient for small jobs.

Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order; most residential driveway jobs need more than that, so calculate your tonnage based on area and depth. Standard delivery is generally 2+ business days, and next-day delivery may be available if you order before noon CST for an extra fee. Always add a little extra (5-10%) for compaction, grading, and waste when placing your order.

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