Gravel in Gallatin, TN

In Gallatin expect material prices to vary by type: decorative gravel runs higher than crushed base. Typical local ranges are about $25 to $60 per ton (or roughly $35 to $80 per cubic yard) depending on size and color; delivery and minimums affect the total. Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum and shows final pricing at checkout including delivery options.

Most tri-axle dump trucks used in the Gallatin area haul about 10 to 14 cubic yards of material, which typically weighs roughly 12 to 18 tons depending on the gravel type. Weight varies with stone density and moisture, so Hello Gravel lists quantities by tons and cubic yards in the order details. If you need an exact truck-size estimate, ask our team or select the 1-yard/ton conversion in checkout.

Buying in bulk (by the ton) and choosing locally sourced crushed stone or aggregate is usually the most economical approach in Gallatin. Compare supplier quotes for delivery fees—Hello Gravel connects you to local quarries and haulers so you can see transparent pricing and often save on delivery. Avoid small bag purchases unless you only need a few square feet.

"Number 1" gravel (often called #1 crushed stone) is larger, roughly 1 to 2.5 inches in size and made from crushed rock. It is commonly used for driveway sub-base, drainage, and heavy-duty base layers where larger rock provides stability. In Gallatin it works well for rural driveways and areas that need strong drainage during rainy seasons.

Coverage depends on depth and material. Using a typical conversion of about 1 ton ≈ 0.7 cubic yards, 1 ton will cover approximately 115 sq ft at 2 inches depth, about 77 sq ft at 3 inches, and roughly 38 sq ft at 6 inches. For your Gallatin project, use these numbers to calculate tons, then round up and account for compaction and waste.

No, 2 inches is generally too thin for a driveway that will carry vehicles. For a stable, long-lasting residential driveway in Gallatin we recommend at least 4 inches of compacted gravel over a prepared subgrade; 6 inches or more is better for heavier vehicles. Also consider a geotextile fabric to reduce mixing with native soil and improve drainage.

Costs depend on width, depth, and material choice. For a typical 20 ft long by 10 ft wide driveway at 4 inches depth you need about 3.5 tons of material; at $30 to $50 per ton that material cost is roughly $105 to $175, plus delivery and any spreading/compaction fees. Hello Gravel shows the full delivered price at checkout and can estimate exact tonnage for your dimensions.

For a 100 ft long, 10 ft wide driveway at 4 inches depth you need about 17.5 tons of gravel. At $30 to $50 per ton, material costs would be roughly $525 to $875, plus delivery and any optional services like tailgate spreading. Local factors in Gallatin—access, haul distance, and material type—will affect the final price.

"#3" gravel typically refers to small, rounded or crushed stone about 3/8 to 3/4 inch in size and is often used for pathways, drainage, and decorative areas. It has a finer appearance than #1 stone and compacts reasonably well when used for walkways. Regional suppliers around Gallatin may list slightly different size ranges, so check photos or sample descriptions when ordering.

Two-inch gravel is usually called 2" crushed stone or 2" clean stone and consists of rock pieces about 2 inches across. Use it as a base for driveways, French drains, and erosion-control areas where large voids and good drainage are needed. In Gallatin, 2" stone is often used under finer layers to improve water flow and prevent frost heave.

Gravels that contain fines (stone dust) such as crusher run will compact tightly and lock together, creating a hard surface, especially when wet and compacted. There are also polymer-bound gravel products and stabilized mixes designed to firm up like a paved surface. For Gallatin homeowners wanting a hard, low-dust surface, ask suppliers about crusher run or stabilized gravel options and whether compaction and edging are recommended.

Three inches of gravel will reduce many weeds but will not eliminate persistent perennial weeds or roots. Installing a weed barrier fabric and removing large roots before laying gravel improves long-term results in Gallatin's climate. For best weed control combine a geotextile, proper base preparation, and at least 3 to 4 inches of compacted gravel.

In Gallatin the average cost for 1 ton of common crushed gravel typically falls between $25 and $60 depending on rock type and color. Decorative gravels or specialty mixes cost more, while plain crushed base and coarse stone are on the lower end. Hello Gravel displays final per-ton pricing and delivery so you can compare options for your zip code.

A 20x20 driveway (400 sq ft) at 4 inches depth needs about 35 cubic feet? Wait compute correctly: 400 sq ft * (4/12 ft) = 133.3 cu ft = 4.94 cu yd = ~6.9 tons. At $30 to $50 per ton, material costs are roughly $210 to $345, plus delivery and any site prep or compaction.
