Gravel in Henry, TN

Prices in Henry vary by material and delivery but expect roughly $40 to $70 per ton delivered for common gravels. Exact cost depends on the gravel type (pea, crushed stone, river rock), the amount ordered, and whether you need expedited delivery or spreading. Use our checkout to get an exact quote for your zip code.

Crushed limestone or crushed stone (often sold as 'road base' or 'dense grade aggregate') is usually the most cost-effective choice for a driveway. It compacts well and provides a stable surface, which reduces long-term maintenance compared with decorative gravels like pea stone. Regional availability in West Tennessee can affect price, so check local quotes.

'4 river gravel' commonly refers to rounded river rock up to about 4 inches in diameter, with a mix of sizes below that. It is decorative, used in dry creek beds, large drainage features, or around landscaping where a natural look is desired, but it is not ideal as a driving surface. Expect variation in color and shape based on local river rock sources.

One ton of gravel in Henry is roughly 0.75 cubic yards, which will cover about 80 to 90 square feet at a 3-inch depth. Coverage changes with gravel type and compaction; lighter, rounder rock covers more area than dense, angular stone. Use our material calculator for a tailored estimate to your project.

Two inches of gravel alone is generally not enough for a long-lasting driveway, especially on West Tennessee's clay soils and in wet seasons. A typical, durable driveway uses 4 to 6 inches of compacted base (crushed stone) plus 2 to 3 inches of surface gravel. For light-use paths or temporary surfaces, 2 inches may be acceptable, but it will require more maintenance.

A 20-foot-long driveway cost depends on width and depth; for a standard 10-foot-wide driveway at 3 inches deep you might need about 2.5 to 3 tons of material. At a rough delivered price of $40 to $70 per ton, material cost would be around $100 to $210, plus any delivery fee and optional spreading. Prices vary by material choice and exact delivery logistics, so get a quote in checkout for an accurate number.

Most tri-axle dump trucks used by our suppliers carry about 10 to 12 cubic yards, which for gravel translates to roughly 12 to 18 tons depending on the rock. At a 3-inch depth that equals approximately 1,000 to 1,300 square feet of coverage. Exact truck size and capacity can vary by supplier, so confirm with your Hello Gravel order details.

Cost per linear foot varies with width, depth, and material; for a 100-foot driveway 10 feet wide at 3 inches deep you would typically need about 12 to 14 tons of gravel. Using a delivered price range of $40 to $70 per ton, material costs would be around $480 to $980, which averages to about $5 to $10 per linear foot before delivery or spreading. Get an exact quote in checkout since local availability and truck access affect final pricing.

Four cubic yards of gravel will cover about 432 square feet at a 3-inch depth and about 648 square feet at a 2-inch depth. Coverage depends on the gravel size, compaction, and whether you need a base layer. Use our calculator to match depth and application for a precise estimate.

Three inches of gravel alone may suppress many weeds but will not stop everything, especially if weed roots are already established or seeds blow in. Installing a quality weed barrier fabric and using 3 to 4 inches over it, or adding a thicker layer in high-weed areas, improves long-term suppression. Regular maintenance and occasional spot treatment keep gravel surfaces tidy.

#3 gravel is large, roughly 1 to 2.5-inch crushed stone with angular edges that lock together well. It is commonly used for drainage, erosion control, culverts, and as a heavier base layer under larger rock or pavement. In West Tennessee it is useful where quick water runoff and stability are needed.

For West Tennessee driveways, a layered approach is best: use #3 or crushed stone for the base (4 to 6 inches), then a surface layer of #57 crushed stone or crushed limestone (2 to 3 inches) for durability and traction. Avoid very round stones like loose river rock for primary drive surfaces because they shift on clay soils. Local suppliers often stock mixes suited to regional drainage and soil conditions—ask our team for recommendations.

Yes, local suppliers in and around Henry can deliver gravel by dump truck; Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum on many orders. Drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion—request it at checkout and the driver will assess whether it can be done safely upon arrival, but spreading is not guaranteed.
