Gravel in Cosby, TN

A "full load" usually refers to a tri-axle truck carrying about 10 to 12 tons of gravel. Price depends on material type, distance from the supplier, and local availability; in small towns like Cosby, delivered full-load prices commonly range widely, so your best option is to request a quote. Hello Gravel shows exact pricing and delivery fees after you enter your zip code and pick a material.

Yes, chert is common in parts of Tennessee and many West Tennessee suppliers can deliver to Cosby, depending on local inventory. Availability, color, and size can vary by quarry, so ask for a description or photo and note "chert" in your order. Hello Gravel connects you to nearby suppliers and can confirm delivery options for your zip code.

Coverage varies by stone size and density, but a useful rule of thumb is: about 100 sq ft at 1 inch, about 50 sq ft at 2 inches, and about 33 sq ft at 3 inches per ton. These are approximations for typical crushed gravel; flaky or very dense stone will change coverage. Use Hello Gravel's material calculator for a project-specific estimate for Cosby.

Two inches is usually only adequate as a thin wearing layer over a well-compacted base and is not recommended for a new driveway on native soil. For most residential driveways in Cosby you should plan 3 to 4 inches of wearing stone over a compacted sub-base, or 6 inches or more of compacted stone if the soil is soft or you expect heavy loads. If you need compaction or full installation advice, consider hiring a local contractor or requesting guidance through Hello Gravel.

Yes, many suppliers stock screened creek rock, river rock, and decorative gravels, but selection varies regionally and decorative stone is often sourced from specific pits. Decorative materials can cost more and may come from farther away, which can increase delivery fees to Cosby. When ordering, specify size, color preference, and intended use so suppliers can confirm availability and delivery details.

Chert is a hard, angular stone that compacts well and resists breaking, making it a durable choice for driveways and high-traffic areas in West Tennessee. It can be sharp underfoot, so it may not be ideal for play areas or barefoot paths, but it performs well where traction and durability matter. We recommend requesting a sample or photo before a large purchase to confirm the look and texture for your Cosby project.

Suppliers sell gravel by the ton, by the cubic yard, or as full truckloads; Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons. For small landscaping jobs order by the ton or cubic yard for convenience, and for larger projects a full load (truckload) usually gives the best per-ton price. Ask the supplier to confirm the local conversion they use, since ton-to-cubic-yard conversions change with stone type and moisture.

A typical 2-car driveway around 12 ft by 40 ft (480 sq ft) needs roughly 6 tons for a 3-inch layer and about 8 to 9 tons for a 4-inch layer, depending on stone density. Suppliers or local contractors can do an on-site measure for a more accurate number, and Hello Gravel also offers an online calculator to estimate quantities. If the driveway needs a thicker base because of soft soil, plan for more material and ask for an on-site assessment.

Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons, and many areas get free delivery, but small towns like Cosby may incur a delivery fee depending on supplier distance and truck availability. Delivery fees can vary with material, load size, and access, so expect anything from no fee to a modest charge; request a quote to see exact fees for your address. For faster service, next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee.

Some haulers may offer tailgate spreading at the driver's discretion, and you can request it at checkout, but it is not guaranteed. Full spreading, grading, and compaction are usually performed by landscaping or site contractors rather than included with standard delivery. If you need installation, ask Hello Gravel to note the request and consider hiring a local contractor for professional spreading and compaction.

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