Decomposed Granite
Known for its natural look, this compact, durable material drains well and holds up in high-traffic areas. Made from crushed and weathered granite down to a mix of fine gravel and sand—best for patios, paths, driveways, and landscape projects. Can range in color from light brown and tan to reddish and gray, depending on the natural stone color in the region.
Road Base
(Class 5 | ABC | Crusher Run) A mixture of crushed limestone or granite, gravel, and sand, ranging from 1 ½” in size down to fines (small particles). Commonly used for constructing roads, driveway bases, parking lots, and other paved and unpaved surfaces. Intended to be compacted, hence the inclusion of fines within the material to provide support and be resistant to erosion and shifting.

Why Belle Meade Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Belle Meade has a population of 2,912 and is a small, steadily growing West Tennessee community. Growing at 1.80% annually and located in hardiness zone 8b, the area sees an annual rainfall of 34.25 inches and about 228 sunny days per year. That mix of steady growth and temperate climate drives regular demand for landscaping, driveways, and drainage improvements as homeowners update yards and add outdoor living spaces. Gravel is a common choice because it creates durable, permeable surfaces that handle local runoff, resist rutting, and require less maintenance than paved alternatives. Because Hello Gravel works with regional suppliers, the texture and coloration of delivered gravel will reflect local geology and blend naturally with neighborhood soils and plantings.Popular Projects in Belle Meade This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Belle Meade gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Belle Meade.
Prices vary by material and supplier in West Tennessee, but expect roughly $30 to $80 per ton for common gravels. Hello Gravel requires a minimum 3-ton order and will show local pricing and any delivery fees at checkout; final cost depends on material type, distance, and whether you choose next-day delivery.
Coverage depends on gravel density and depth. As a rule of thumb, one ton equals about 0.6 to 0.8 cubic yards and will cover roughly 100 to 250 square feet at 2 inches depth; adjust quantities higher for thicker layers or heavier materials.
Buying in bulk from a local supplier and choosing a common road/base material (like crusher run or bank run) is usually cheapest. Also compare delivered prices via Hello Gravel versus pickup, and avoid decorative gravels which cost more per ton.
A typical tri-axle dump truck carries about 10 to 12 cubic yards, which equals roughly 12 to 18 tons depending on the material. At a 2-inch finished depth that can cover about 1,600 to 3,000 square feet; actual coverage varies with gravel type and desired depth.
Two inches can work as a thin surface dressing for a low-traffic path or to freshen an existing compacted base, but it is not sufficient as a driveway base. For a durable gravel driveway we recommend a compacted base layer of 4 to 6 inches (crusher run or compactable material) plus a 2 to 3 inch topcoat of finished gravel.
For a driveway, use a compactable base like crusher run (also called 3/4" minus) and a finished surface of 3/4" crushed stone or #57 stone for good drainage and traction. Pea gravel looks nice but moves more and is generally used only as a surface layer over a stable base.
One cubic yard is 27 cubic feet. If your wheelbarrow holds about 2 cubic feet, one yard fills roughly 13 to 14 wheelbarrows; with a 3-cubic-foot wheelbarrow expect about 9 wheelbarrows.
Cost depends on material and weight, but 8 cubic yards typically equal about 10 to 13 tons. At $30 to $80 per ton, material cost would be approximately $300 to $1,040, plus any delivery or spreading fees; Hello Gravel will show precise local pricing when you enter your zip code.
A 20x20 driveway is 400 square feet. At a 3-inch depth you need about 3.7 cubic yards (around 5 to 6 tons), which could cost roughly $150 to $500 for material depending on type, plus delivery; final cost depends on the gravel chosen and whether you need base work or compaction.
Cost per linear foot depends on driveway width and depth. For example, a 100 ft long by 12 ft wide driveway at 4 inches depth needs about 14.8 cubic yards (roughly 20 to 25 tons), which could run about $600 to $1,800 in materials — roughly $6 to $18 per linear foot — before delivery and site prep.
Crushed stone or crusher run (a mix of stone and fines) and recycled concrete are typically cheaper than decorative gravels like pea gravel. These materials compact well and make a durable, cost-effective driveway base.
Crusher run or bank-run gravel is usually the least expensive option and works well as a base layer. For the finished surface, a basic crushed stone (not decorative) is most affordable while still providing good performance.
Coverage depends on depth: at 1 inch depth one ton typically covers about 200 to 250 square feet; at 2 inches that drops to roughly 100 to 125 square feet. Local material density and settling mean you should allow a small extra amount when ordering.
A full truckload price varies with truck size and material, but typical total costs (material plus delivery) for a tri-axle load are often in the $500 to $1,200 range in West Tennessee. Hello Gravel provides local quotes that include delivery options and estimated arrival windows—enter your zip code to see current pricing.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

The material will be delivered via dump truck. If your order is under 20 tons, then it will likely be just one dump truck load. If your order is more than 20 tons, it will be more than one dump truck load.

We cannot get out of the truck and manually spread it. However, depending on the location, safety, and comfortability of the driver – we may be able to tailgate spread your material. This involves pulling the truck forward as material is being dumped to make it easier for you to distribute material after delivery.
The minimum order size is 3 tons.
