Gravel in Brushcreek, TN

Costs vary by material, quantity, and service, but expect total project pricing rather than a single fixed rate. As a rough example: material for a 2-car driveway (about 14-21 tons depending on depth) can run from a few hundred to around $1,000 for common crushed stone; delivery often adds a flat fee or is included on larger orders, and optional tailgate spreading or small-scale spreading by the driver may add $50-$300. Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum order, offers standard delivery in 2+ business days, and next-day delivery before noon CST for an extra fee—ask for a local quote to see exact pricing for Brushcreek.

In Brushcreek’s humid, clay-rich environment, angular crushed stone with some fines (crusher run or 3/4" minus crushed limestone) makes a good compactable base that resists sinking. Use #57 or 3/4" stone as a surface layer where you want better drainage and reduced tracking; avoid purely round pea gravel as a driveway surface because it migrates and can float on wet clay. Regional suppliers may call similar mixes different names, so ask for local equivalents and consider a layered approach: compactable base plus a drained wearing course.

Use these Brushcreek-focused estimates (converted assuming about 1.4 tons per cubic yard): 2-car driveway (approx 800 sq ft): 4" depth = ~10 yd3 (~14 tons), 6" = ~15 yd3 (~21 tons). 10x12 patio (120 sq ft): 2" decorative gravel = ~0.75 yd3 (~1.0 ton); 4" base stone = ~1.5 yd3 (~2.1 tons). 100 ft farm lane (12 ft wide, 1,200 sq ft): 4" = ~15 yd3 (~21 tons), 6" = ~22 yd3 (~31 tons). These are starting points—measure your area precisely and request an exact quote.

Contractor pricing in West Tennessee depends on site access, existing subgrade condition, and scope; expect installation and compaction for a typical 2-car driveway to range roughly from $800 to $2,500 for labor and equipment, while material-only delivery for the same job often runs several hundred dollars depending on tonnage. Some contractors price by the square foot ($2-$6/sq ft typical) or by the hour plus equipment; Hello Gravel can deliver materials to your site but installation and compaction quotes are best obtained from local contractors after site inspection. Always get written estimates that separate material, delivery, and labor.

Yes—Brushcreek’s frequent rain and clay soils make drainage and base prep important. A compacted base (crusher run or 1" minus) with proper slope and a crowned center (about 1/4" per foot) helps shed water; use larger stone in ditches and add culverts or French drains where water concentrates. Choosing a layered assembly—stable angular base plus a drained surface stone like #57—reduces washouts compared with a single loose gravel layer.

Frequency depends on traffic and drainage but typical maintenance in the Brushcreek area is spot grading and filling every 1-3 years and a more substantial top-up every 3-7 years. High-traffic farm lanes or areas with poor drainage might need replenishing annually, while a well-built, drained driveway lasts longer between top-ups. Regularly check for ruts and low spots after heavy rains and fix them promptly to avoid larger repairs.

Yes, many Brushcreek homeowners and contractors use geotextile or stabilization fabric, especially on soft, clayey subsoils or wet sites. Fabric helps keep the gravel from migrating into the subgrade, reduces maintenance, and can improve load-bearing capacity; it is relatively low cost compared with the benefit on problem sites. Note fabric is not a substitute for proper drainage and a compacted base—it works best combined with correct base materials.

Initial cost for gravel is typically much lower than asphalt or concrete—gravel driveways can be installed for a few thousand dollars depending on size, while asphalt and concrete often cost several thousand to tens of thousands. Long-term, gravel requires periodic regrading and topping (ongoing maintenance), whereas asphalt and concrete require less frequent but more expensive repairs and eventual replacement. In Brushcreek’s wet, clay soils gravel offers good drainage and easier repairs, but homeowners who prefer a low-maintenance paved surface may opt for asphalt or concrete despite higher upfront costs.
