Gravel in Bybee, TN

Costs vary by material and distance, but expect material prices commonly in the West Tennessee area to run roughly $25 to $60 per ton for common gravels. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum and offers standard delivery in 2+ business days (next-day available before noon CST for a fee); delivery fees are often low or waived depending on the supplier and location. Tailgate spreading is sometimes available at the driver's discretion and may add labor costs; ask for a spreading quote at checkout.

For West Tennessee’s humid, clay-prone soils, crushed stone (3/4" or 3/4"-1") with a fines binder is a good base because it compacts well and sheds water. Pea gravel or pea stone is excellent for surface traction and drainage on smaller areas, but it shifts without a firm base. For farm roads or heavier use, consider a layered approach: larger crushed stone for base, then crushed stone or crushed limestone for driving surface.

Use these local, practical estimates: - Single-car driveway (12' x 50'): 5 to 9 tons depending on depth (2" to 3"). - Patio (12' x 12'): 1 to 2 tons at 2" depth. - Two-car parking pad (20' x 20'): about 4 to 6 tons at 2" depth, 6+ tons at 3". These are approximate—use Hello Gravel’s material calculator or contact our team with exact dimensions for a precise tonnage.

Yes, gravel can perform well if installed correctly. Good drainage, a compacted base, and proper crown or slope will prevent standing water and rutting; using angular crushed stone helps lock the surface. In areas with frost heave, deeper base and good drainage will reduce movement, but some seasonal shifting is normal and routine maintenance is needed.

A well-built crushed gravel driveway in this region can last 10 to 25 years with routine upkeep. Expect to regrade, add fresh stone, and refill low spots every 1 to 5 years depending on traffic and weather; heavier use means more frequent topping. Regular grading, filling potholes, maintaining drainage ditches, and occasional re-compaction will keep the surface functional longer.

Gravel is significantly less expensive up front than asphalt or concrete and is quicker to install, making it common for rural properties. It requires more ongoing maintenance and can rut or wash out in heavy rain, while asphalt and concrete require less frequent surface maintenance but have higher initial cost. Choose gravel for flexible, lower-cost options and asphalt/concrete where long-term low-maintenance and higher load-bearing are priorities.

Yes. Pea gravel and washed stone are excellent in French drains and rock trenches because they allow water to flow while filtering soil. For slope stabilization and erosion control, larger angular rock or riprap works better at concentrated flow points, while crushed stone with geotextile fabric is good for stabilizing paths and driveways. Always pair rock with proper grading and vegetation where possible.

Labor and equipment rates vary, but small jobs (driveway or pad prep) often run from about $500 to $3,000 depending on site access, existing conditions, and machine time. Hourly equipment/operator rates commonly range from $50 to $125 per hour; final price depends on how much grading, hauling, and compaction are required. Get a site-specific estimate from Hello Gravel or a local contractor for accurate pricing.

Possibly. Rural Bybee homeowners should check with their county road department and any HOA or local zoning authority before installing or expanding a driveway, especially where it meets a county road. Rules vary by county and subdivision; confirm setback, driveway opening, culvert, and permit requirements before ordering material or scheduling delivery.

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