Gravel in Hickoryvalley, TN

Delivered gravel prices in West Tennessee typically vary by material and supplier; expect a rough range of $35 to $70 per ton for common driveway gravels. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum and offers standard delivery in 2+ business days, with next-day available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Tailgate spreading is available by request but is performed at the driver’s discretion and may incur an additional charge from the supplier.

For driveways and load-bearing surfaces in Hickoryvalley’s humid subtropical climate and clay soils, crushed limestone and #57 crushed stone are usually best because they lock together and compact well. Pea gravel and river rock are attractive for decorative areas, but they shift and trap water on clay subgrades, so they are less ideal for driveways without a stable base and good drainage.

Many suppliers in West Tennessee price common gravels by the ton, though some smaller or landscape suppliers quote by the cubic yard. A handy conversion for planning is 1 cubic yard of gravel is roughly 1.3 tons, but exact weight varies by stone type and moisture content, so confirm pricing units with your supplier before ordering.

Contractor costs depend on site prep, access, drainage work, and materials, but a modest rural gravel driveway (for example, 12 ft by 100 ft) can range from about $1,500 to $4,500 for basic grading, base, and compaction. More extensive prep such as additional gravel depth, geotextile installation, edging, or major drainage work can push costs higher, so get multiple local quotes and itemized estimates.

Use this formula: cubic yards = (area in sq ft x depth in inches) / 324, then convert to tons by multiplying cubic yards by about 1.3. Example: a 12' x 100' driveway at 4" depth is 1,200 sq ft, so 1,200 x 4 / 324 ≈ 14.8 cubic yards, which is roughly 19 to 20 tons of gravel.

In Hickoryvalley, expect routine maintenance like light grading and filling low spots after heavy rains, plus annual raking and clearing vegetation. Top-dressing with 1 to 2 inches of fresh gravel every 2 to 3 years and a more significant replenishment every 5 to 10 years (depending on traffic and drainage) is common; poor drainage or heavy truck traffic will shorten intervals.

For clay subgrades in West Tennessee, use a layered approach: 6 to 8 inches of compacted larger crushed stone as a base (3/4" minus or similar), followed by 2 to 3 inches of compactable surface stone such as #57 or 3/4" crushed. Install geotextile fabric between the clay and base where traffic is heavy, build a center crown for runoff, and add perimeter drains or French drains where pooling is a problem.

Yes, Hello Gravel connects customers to local suppliers and dump-truck haulers that serve West Tennessee; check availability by entering your zip code on our site. You can request tailgate spreading at checkout, but spreading is performed at the driver’s discretion and may have an extra charge; minimum orders start at 3 tons.

Add-on costs vary by product and installation: landscape fabric material often runs about $0.20 to $0.60 per sq ft, geotextile plus installation about $0.50 to $1.50 per sq ft, and edging installed commonly costs $3 to $10 per linear foot. On many projects these extras increase total cost by roughly 10% to 30%, depending on the size of the area and how much drainage or stabilization work is needed.

Gravel is the lowest-cost upfront option (roughly $1 to $3 per sq ft installed) but requires more frequent maintenance and periodic top-ups, especially in West Tennessee’s wet climate. Asphalt ($3 to $7 per sq ft) and concrete ($6 to $12 per sq ft) have higher initial costs but generally need less frequent surface maintenance; choose gravel if you prefer lower upfront cost and easier repairs, or asphalt/concrete if you want a smoother, lower-maintenance surface for heavier or frequent traffic.
