Gravel in Colonial Heights, TN

Typical delivered prices in the Colonial Heights area vary by material and size. Expect crushed limestone or #57 stone roughly $20 to $35 per ton, pea gravel about $25 to $45 per ton, and larger river rock $30 to $60 per ton; converting to cubic yards (1 cubic yard ≈ 1.4 tons) gives roughly 1.4 times those per-ton numbers. These are estimates based on West Tennessee market ranges; final price depends on exact material, distance from the quarry, and whether delivery or spreading services are requested. Remember Hello Gravel minimum orders start at 3 tons and actual quotes are available after you enter your zip code.

For driveways in Colonial Heights, angular crushed limestone or #57 crushed stone are top choices because they lock together when compacted and shed water well. Pea gravel is attractive but can move under vehicle traffic and is better as a topcoat or for walkways; river rock and larger stone work well in drainage features and dry creek beds to manage heavy rainfall. In humid subtropical climates with frequent rain, prioritize angular, compactable stone and a proper base to reduce rutting and washouts.

Use this quick method: cubic yards = (length ft × width ft × depth inches) / 324, then multiply cubic yards by about 1.4 to convert to tons. Example: a single-car driveway 10 ft × 50 ft requires about 3.1 yd3 (≈4.3 tons) at 2", 6.2 yd3 (≈8.6 tons) at 4", and 9.3 yd3 (≈13.0 tons) at 6". For a two-car driveway 20 ft × 50 ft plan on roughly 6.2 yd3 (≈8.6 tons) at 2", 12.4 yd3 (≈17.3 tons) at 4", and 18.5 yd3 (≈25.9 tons) at 6".

Hello Gravel connects you to local suppliers, quarries, and trucking partners that serve the Colonial Heights area; exact suppliers vary by zip code and regional quarry stock. Typical supplier minimums in West Tennessee are often 3 tons because of truck sizes, which aligns with Hello Gravel's platform minimum, but some quarries or small yards may require larger minimums for long-distance deliveries. Enter your zip code on Hello Gravel to see available local suppliers, real quotes, and any specific minimum delivery requirements.

Colonial Heights sits on soils that can be sticky and poorly draining, so clay plus heavy rain promotes rutting, settling, and washouts if gravel is placed on untreated subgrade. To improve longevity, excavate soft spots, add a compactable base layer, use geotextile fabric, and install proper runoff management; expect to regrade or add fresh stone every 1 to 3 years depending on traffic and drainage. Regular maintenance after heavy storms—raking, filling low spots, and re-compaction—will prolong performance.

Installation costs vary with site prep, access, and how much excavation and compaction are needed; in West Tennessee, simple resurfacing often ranges from about $1.50 to $4.00 per square foot, while full rebuilds with excavation, base rock, fabric, and compaction commonly run $3.00 to $8.00 per square foot. Contractors may also quote per-ton labor and placement charges (for example an additional $15 to $40 per ton on top of material). For accurate pricing get local site-specific quotes because slope, drainage fixes, and truck access have a big influence on cost.

City and HOA rules vary; Colonial Heights may have local ordinances or neighborhood covenants that restrict loose gravel, require paved driveways, or dictate appearance standards. Before ordering, check Colonial Heights municipal codes and your HOA documents or contact your association to confirm allowed materials and any setback or appearance rules. If in doubt, Hello Gravel recommends saving your HOA guidelines and sharing them with your supplier or installer before purchase.

Pea gravel tends to migrate on slopes because the round stones do not lock together, so it can wash down with heavy rain or move under foot and tire traffic on even modest grades. For sloped areas consider angular crushed stone, edge restraints, geogrid, or a stabilization grid system to keep material in place. If you prefer pea gravel for looks, install it over a compacted base with edging and a stabilization layer to reduce movement.

Popular and effective options around Colonial Heights include heavy-duty geotextile fabric under the stone, metal or plastic landscape edging to hold perimeter material, and interlocking gravel stabilization grids (plastic honeycomb-type systems) for high-traffic areas. Steel or aluminum edging provides a durable, low-profile barrier for driveways and walkways, while geogrids combined with a compacted base prevent mixing with clay subsoil and reduce rutting. Choose products based on expected traffic, slope, and budget; your supplier or installer can recommend a system that suits local soils and rainfall.

For RV pads and heavy-truck areas near Colonial Heights use a thick, compactable base such as 3/4" crushed stone, crushed limestone '3/4 minus', or a crushed rock base with fines that compacts well; top with a larger, more angular wearing course (for example 3/4" clean stone). Plan on 6" to 8" of compacted material for light RV use and 8" to 12" or more for frequent heavy-truck traffic, and place geotextile fabric beneath to separate the subgrade. Proper compaction and drainage are essential in West Tennessee clay soils to prevent settling and washouts.
