Suppliers around Crawford source material from quarries and pits in West Tennessee and neighboring counties, and product options commonly include crusher-run (driveway base), #57 crushed stone, pea gravel, decorative gravel, river rock, and recycled crushed concrete. Exact brands and sizes depend on regional geology and the local supplier Hello Gravel connects you with; availability shows at checkout when you enter your zip code. If you need a specific color or texture, add that to Order Notes and our team will try to match local stock.

For Crawford's humid, sometimes heavy-rain environment, a layered approach works best: compacted crusher-run (3/4" or 1" minus) as a base for strength, topped with #57 or 411 stone for drainage and traction. Pea gravel or river rock is fine for a low-traffic, decorative surface but can move and rut under wet conditions and vehicle use. Proper grading, drainage, and compaction matter more than the cosmetic top layer for long-term performance.

A 12' x 100' driveway is 1,200 sq ft. At 2", 3", and 4" depths you need about 7.4, 11.1, and 14.8 cubic yards respectively. Using typical weight estimates (crusher-run ~1.4 tons/yd3, #57 ~1.3 tons/yd3, pea gravel ~1.5 tons/yd3), that works out approximately as: crusher-run 10, 16, 21 tons; #57 10, 14, 19 tons; pea gravel 11, 17, 22 tons. These are estimates; exact tonnage can vary by supplier so use our material calculator or request a quote before ordering.

Gravel performs well in Crawford if installed with good drainage and compaction; heavy rain can wash or create ruts where water pools, and freeze-thaw cycles may cause minor shifting. Expect routine maintenance: regrading and adding 1-2" of gravel every 2-3 years for driveways, fill potholes after major storms, and re-compact high-traffic areas as needed. Regularly clear ditches and maintain crowns so water runs off the surface rather than through it.

Permitting rules vary by location; in many rural parts of Hardeman County small private driveways do not need a building permit but new entrances onto county or state roads usually require approval from the county highway department or Tennessee Department of Transportation. If you are in Crawford check with the Hardeman County Planning & Zoning office and the county highway department before cutting a new access or adding drainage structures. Also review any HOA or neighborhood covenants if applicable, since they can restrict material types or appearance.

Gravel is the lowest upfront cost and easiest to install, making it attractive for rural driveways; typical lifespan with maintenance is 10-20 years depending on traffic and upkeep. Asphalt and concrete cost more initially but last longer with less frequent surface maintenance—often 20-30 years for asphalt with periodic resurfacing and 30+ years for concrete. If you want a lower-cost, flexible solution that is repairable locally, gravel is a good choice in West Tennessee; for higher traffic and lower long-term maintenance, consider asphalt or concrete.

Yes, local contractors and driveway specialists in West Tennessee commonly offer grading, installation, and compaction services; many will also handle culverts and drainage work. Labor and equipment charges vary with site prep: expect contractors to quote by project or by hour, and common ranges for basic spreading and compaction add roughly $5-$15 per ton or a few hundred to a few thousand dollars for a full 12' x 100' driveway depending on grading, culverts, and site difficulty. Get at least two local estimates and ask contractors to itemize haul, material, grading, and compaction so you can compare.

Key measures are creating a crown so the center is slightly higher than edges, installing proper side ditches or swales to carry water away, and adding culverts at road crossings or low points to prevent concentrated flow. Use compacted crusher-run as the structural base, consider a geotextile fabric over soft soils to stabilize the subgrade, and secure edges with timber, stone, or concrete where washout is a risk. Regularly inspect after big storms and repair washed areas quickly to prevent larger failures.

Recycled crushed concrete is often a cost-effective and durable alternative to traditional crushed stone for base layers; it compacts well and can save money on material. River rock and larger rounded stones are attractive and drain well but tend to shift under vehicle traffic and are not ideal for base layers or primary driveway surfaces. Ask your Hello Gravel supplier about recycled concrete availability in your zip code and whether a topcoat of crushed stone over recycled base is recommended for your project.
