For Greenback's humid subtropical climate, crushed stone like #57 for the wearing surface and #411 or crushed stone with fines for the base work best because they compact well and shed water. Pea gravel is attractive but shifts more and is not ideal alone for driveways; river rock is useful for drainage swales and decorative beds but not for a stable driving surface. Combining a compacted crushed stone base with a top layer suited to appearance gives the best balance of durability and drainage.

A 12 ft x 100 ft driveway equals 1,200 sq ft. At 2" depth you need about 7.4 cubic yards (≈9.6 tons); at 3" about 11.1 cubic yards (≈14.4 tons); at 4" about 14.8 cubic yards (≈19.3 tons). These estimates use 1 cubic yard ≈ 1.3 tons; adjust if your supplier uses a different conversion and use 4"+ if building a full compacted base.

Greenback has mild winters with occasional freezes, so frost heave is less severe than in colder states, but heavy rainstorms can cause washouts and rutting, especially on poorly graded or clay subsoils. Proper base preparation, good drainage (ditches, swales, or culverts), and periodic regrading reduce erosion and extend life; expect light maintenance every 1-3 years and more frequent touch-ups after major storms. Using well-graded crushed stone and compaction helps resist displacement during heavy rain.

Installed gravel driveways in the Greenback area commonly range from about $1.50 to $4.00 per sq ft depending on site prep, soil conditions, edge restraints, and material choice. Simple top-dressing over an existing base is at the low end, while full excavation, geotextile installation, geogrid, and crushed-stone base push costs higher. Get local contractor quotes because steep driveways, poor access, or culvert work will raise labor and prep charges.

Gravel is usually the lowest upfront material and installation cost and offers the best drainage because it is permeable. Asphalt and concrete last longer with less routine maintenance but cost more up front and reduce permeability, which can increase runoff management needs in Greenback's heavy rain events. Pavers offer a middle ground aesthetically and for longevity but require a solid base and higher installation costs; choose based on budget, drainage goals, and maintenance tolerance.

For slopes or clay subsoils, install a nonwoven geotextile fabric and consider geogrid reinforcement to reduce rutting and migration into soft soils. A well-compacted crushed stone base (coarser grades for subbase, #57 for surface) with edge restraints is recommended; in very soft spots, a thicker crushed stone subbase may be needed. Polymer stabilizers and dust suppressants are available locally to reduce dust and migration, but they usually require professional application and are best used with proper base construction.

Most private gravel driveways in Blount County do not require a building permit, but changes to the driveway apron, crossing a county road, work in a regulated floodplain, or stormwater impacts may require county permits or reviews. Many HOAs have rules that restrict gravel; homeowners should check their HOA covenants and contact Blount County codes or public works before starting. If in doubt, call local authorities or check your HOA guidelines to avoid surprises.

Effective local options include geotextile underlayment, polymeric dust suppressants, and stone stabilizers that bind surface particles to reduce dust and movement. Mulch-type edging, steel or concrete edge restraints, and regular grading with a box blade or landscape rake after storms reduce migration and washout. Your local landscape or aggregate supplier can recommend products sold nearby, and Hello Gravel can deliver the specific material you choose.

Hello Gravel deliveries are made by contracted drivers in tri-axle dump trucks; drivers may perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, so request it at checkout but expect it to be assessed on arrival. Ensure a clear drop location, mark boundaries with stakes, and provide safe truck access and an alternate parking plan for tight driveways—this helps avoid extra fees or refused drops. If you need spreading guaranteed, arrange for a local contractor to finish spreading after delivery.

Top dressing is usually 1" to 2" of new material; for example, a 1,200 sq ft area needs about 3.7 cubic yards (≈4.8 tons) for 1" and about 7.4 cubic yards (≈9.6 tons) for 2". Full replacement or building a compacted base normally uses 4" to 6" or more of compacted material, which in that same 1,200 sq ft example would be about 14.8 cubic yards (≈19.3 tons) at 4" and 22.2 cubic yards (≈28.9 tons) at 6".

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.
