Gravel in Dixonsprings, TN

Delivery pricing varies by supplier and distance from the quarry, but expect material-plus-delivery quotes where delivery is either a per-ton charge or a flat truck fee. In West Tennessee, typical separate delivery fees run roughly $75 to $200 for short local hauls, or about $5 to $12 per ton when billed by weight; Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum order and may include delivery in the material price. Ask for a delivered quote at checkout to see the exact cost for your zip code. Always allow for an extra fee for next-day delivery or difficult drop locations.

For a durable driveway base in clay soils, crushed stone with fines (commonly 3/4" minus or 57 stone compacted with smaller stone) works best because it locks together and sheds water. Use a 1/2" to 3/4" clean crushed stone or #57 limestone as a wearing layer or for good drainage; pea gravel and river rock work well as top-dress or decorative options but do not compact like crushed stone. For drainage trenches or dry creek beds, use larger river rock or clean washed stone (1" to 2") to keep flowpaths open during West Tennessee rains.

To estimate, convert depth to cubic yards (cubic yards = square feet x depth inches / 324) then multiply by about 1.4 tons per cubic yard for typical crushed stone. For 1,000 sq ft: 2" depth ≈ 6.2 cubic yards ≈ 8.5–9.0 tons; 3" ≈ 9.3 cubic yards ≈ 13–13.5 tons; 4" ≈ 12.3 cubic yards ≈ 17–18 tons. Order 5–10% extra to account for compaction, grading, and waste, and check the material's exact density on your quote.

Hello Gravel works with a network of local quarries, landscape supply yards, and aggregate distributors that serve West Tennessee and nearby towns. Many local suppliers offer contractor accounts or bulk discounts for repeat business and larger loads (often starting around 10 tons or more), but terms vary by vendor. Use Hello Gravel to get multiple local supplier quotes and ask each supplier about contractor pricing, delivery limits, and account terms.

Heavy summer rain in West Tennessee can wash out loose gravel and create ruts, while occasional freeze-thaw events can cause minor heaving where fines and drainage are poor. Expect to regrade and add material every 1 to 3 years in high-traffic areas, and inspect drainage after spring storms to prevent standing water on clay subsoils. Good base preparation, proper slope, and drainage features significantly reduce maintenance needs.

Labor and equipment costs depend on site access and scope, but a simple install with grading, geotextile, and compacted base for a residential driveway in West Tennessee typically ranges from $1.50 to $4.00 per square foot for labor and base work. More complex jobs with tree removal, heavy excavation, or long haul distances can push total installed costs higher; expect additional charges for hauling/placing material if the site is hard to reach. Get at least two local contractor bids and include delivered material cost from Hello Gravel to compare apples-to-apples.

Upfront, gravel is cheaper: installed gravel driveways commonly cost less per square foot than asphalt. Gravel needs more frequent maintenance (periodic grading and top-up every few years) but repairs are easy and inexpensive, while asphalt has higher upfront and resurfacing costs but generally lasts longer between major repairs. In Dixonsprings' wet, clay-prone conditions, gravel can handle drainage better if installed with proper base and slope, though asphalt provides a smoother, lower-dust surface if budget allows.

Local permitting and HOA rules vary; some counties or homeowner associations restrict loose gravel driveways, require a specific surface, or have limits on materials and setbacks. Before ordering, check with your county building department and any HOA covenants to confirm allowed materials, impervious surface rules, and permit requirements. If you need a stabilized surface or specific stone color to meet HOA guidance, add that in your Hello Gravel order notes and speak with our team for material options.

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.
