Gravel in Grimsley, TN

Material and delivery prices in West Tennessee vary by stone type and distance, but a typical range is about $12 to $35 per ton for common crushed gravels and roughly $15 to $50 per cubic yard delivered. Hello Gravel often shows upfront pricing for your zip code and many areas offer free delivery on minimum orders; check your address in checkout for exact cost.

For Grimsley’s clay soils and wet summers, angular crushed stone (for example 3/4" crushed stone or crushed limestone) is best because it locks together for stability and sheds water better than round river rock. Use a compacted base of crusher-run or 1-1/2" minus, topped with 3/4" crushed stone or a washed decorative gravel for walking surfaces; add a geotextile fabric under the base to reduce mixing with clay.

Quantities depend on depth. For a 4" compacted layer, a 12x40 ft driveway needs about 6 cubic yards (roughly 8 to 9 tons), while a 10x50 ft driveway needs about 6.2 cubic yards (about 8 to 9.5 tons). If you want a thinner 3" top layer or a deeper 6" base, adjust proportionally; use Hello Gravel’s calculator or request help for an exact estimate.

Local suppliers serving Grimsley typically have a 3-ton minimum for delivery and price per ton that reflects stone type and haul distance. Delivery radius often ranges 10 to 40 miles from the quarry or yard; Hello Gravel shows local supplier options and exact minimums and fees when you enter your zip code.

Freeze-thaw cycles and heavy rains can cause rutting, settling, and small washouts if the base is not well compacted and drainage is poor. Plan for a stable, compacted base, good crown or slope for runoff, and periodic maintenance like regrading and adding fresh gravel after storms to keep the surface even and draining.

Installed gravel driveways in West Tennessee commonly run in the range of $2.50 to $6.00 per square foot depending on access, required excavation, base depth, and local labor rates. For a 480 sq ft (12x40) driveway that means roughly $1,200 to $2,880 total; get local quotes through Hello Gravel or a contractor for an accurate estimate.

With routine maintenance (regrading, topping up, periodic compaction), crushed stone or crushed limestone can last 10 to 20 years as a driveway surface, while river rock and pea gravel tend to move and need topping more often, usually every 2 to 5 years. Longevity depends on traffic, base preparation, drainage, and how often you add material.

Gravel has the lowest upfront cost but requires ongoing maintenance (regrading, topping up) and handles drainage well in rainy seasons. Asphalt is mid-range upfront with periodic sealcoating and repairs, lasting 15 to 25 years; concrete has the highest upfront cost and lowest routine maintenance but may crack in freeze-thaw cycles without proper subgrade. Choose based on budget, desired maintenance level, and local drainage conditions.

They can. Grimsley is a small community, but HOA covenants or county zoning can restrict driveway materials or appearance, so check your HOA rules, deed restrictions, and Jackson County regulations before ordering. If rules are unclear, save your order until you confirm approval or ask Hello Gravel’s team for guidance on documentation to present to your HOA.

Stabilizing grids or resin binders can significantly reduce rutting and migration on clay-heavy sites and in wet climates typical of Grimsley, especially for driveways or parking pads with regular vehicle use. They add upfront cost and require proper installation and base prep, but they reduce long-term maintenance and improve usability in soggy conditions; evaluate for higher-traffic areas.

Clear vegetation, mark utilities, and install a geotextile fabric before placing a compacted base layer of crusher-run or 2" minus stone to separate gravel from clay. Make sure the finished surface has a slight crown or slope for runoff and confirm truck access with Hello Gravel to avoid delivery issues.

Hello Gravel sources materials regionally, so color, texture, and stone mix can vary based on local geology in West Tennessee. Photos are representative; if color or texture is critical, add notes at checkout or ask customer service for a local supplier description or sample before ordering.
