Gravel in Buchanan, TN

In West Tennessee around Buchanan, expect delivered ranges rather than exact prices: crushed limestone commonly $25 to $45 per ton, #57 stone $30 to $50 per ton, and pea gravel $35 to $60 per ton. Using a practical conversion of about 1 cubic yard ≈ 1.4 tons, that translates roughly to $35 to $84 per cubic yard depending on type and supplier. Prices vary with supplier, distance, season, and whether free delivery applies; Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum order.

Hello Gravel connects you with local quarries and haulers that serve Buchanan; exact suppliers vary by zip code. Many dump-truck deliveries through local suppliers honor our 3-ton minimum, while some quarries or commercial yards require 5 to 10 ton minimums for direct pickup. If you need help finding a supplier or want to check minimums for your address, use our zip-code lookup or contact our sales team.

For Tennessee conditions, use a well-graded crushed stone for the base (3/4" minus or similar) compacted to 4 to 6 inches for driveways and 6 to 8 inches for small commercial parking pads. Top with a 1 to 2 inch surface layer of #57 stone or pea gravel for appearance and drainage on driveways and walkways; walkways can be thinner—2 to 3 inches compacted—if pedestrian only. Always consider geotextile fabric over poor soils to improve drainage and reduce rutting.

Use this practical conversion: 1 cubic yard ≈ 1.4 tons. A single-car driveway (10 ft x 20 ft) at 4" depth is about 2.5 cubic yards ≈ 3.5 tons. A two-car driveway (20 ft x 20 ft) at 4" is about 5 cubic yards ≈ 7 tons, and a 10 ft x 10 ft patio at 4" is about 1.2 cubic yards ≈ 1.7 tons. Round up a bit for compaction, slope, and waste, and remember Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons.

Hello Gravel offers standard delivery in 2+ business days; next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Delivery fees in rural West Tennessee can range from free (in many areas) up to roughly $50 to $150 depending on distance, truck routing, and supplier; same-day is rarely available and depends on local supplier capacity. Expect typical dump-truck access needs: 12 to 14 feet of vertical clearance, a clear turning radius, and a firm surface; steep or narrow driveways, overhead lines, and low bridges can limit where drivers can safely dump.

On slopes in West Tennessee, prioritize drainage first: add swales, French drains, or downspout controls to divert concentrated flow. Use berms, terraces, retaining walls, geotextile fabric, edge restraints, and, where needed, gravel stabilization grids or paving blocks to keep gravel from migrating. Seeding or planting vegetation below gravel areas also slows runoff; for steep slopes consider professional grading or engineering to avoid washouts.

Typical line items include material (gravel) at roughly $25 to $60 per ton depending on type; geotextile fabric $0.20 to $0.60 per square foot; basic grading and labor $0.50 to $2.00 per square foot depending on site complexity; and compaction (machine rental/operator) $100 to $400 per day. For a 20 ft x 30 ft driveway with a 6" compacted base you might expect total installed costs roughly $700 to $3,000 depending on materials, site prep, and whether you hire local contractors.

Maintenance frequency depends on drainage, traffic, and stone type: expect light upkeep like regrading and topping off every 1 to 3 years for residential driveways, with heavier repairs after major storms. Crushed stone and #57 tend to lock together and hold better under traffic, lasting many years as a functional surface if the base remains stable; pea gravel looks nice but shifts and may need topping more often, typically every 1 to 2 years. Proper base construction and drainage can extend functional life to a decade or more between major rework.

Gravel has the lowest upfront cost and fastest install, but higher ongoing maintenance and a shorter smooth-driving surface compared with asphalt or pavers. Asphalt offers a smoother finish and lower dust but higher initial cost and periodic resurfacing (typically every 10 to 20 years), while interlocking pavers have the highest upfront cost but excellent local repairability and longevity. For small commercial lots in rural Buchanan, gravel can be cost-effective if you accept periodic grading and topping; consider expected traffic, aesthetics, and long-term maintenance when choosing.

Rules vary by local jurisdiction and any homeowners association; Buchanan is a small West Tennessee community so county or township zoning and drainage rules may apply. Check with your county planning or public works office and any HOA or deed restrictions before starting work, especially if you will change a driveway apron, alter drainage, or add curbing. If you need help, Hello Gravel's sales team can point you toward local permitting resources based on your address.

Gravel appearance varies regionally because Hello Gravel sources materials locally to keep costs and delivery times down, so color, size, and texture reflect West Tennessee geology. Photos are representative, but expect natural variation in shade and grain size; you can add color or style preferences in the Order Notes at checkout and we will pass that to the supplier. If the delivered material looks substantially different than described, contact customer service promptly so we can help resolve it.

Some drivers can perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, and you can request it at checkout, but it is not guaranteed. Spreading depends on site conditions, safety, and the equipment the hauler has on hand; drivers will assess on arrival. For consistent spreading and compaction we recommend arranging a contractor or renting a plate compactor if you need a finished surface.

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

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.
