Gravel in Huntingdon, TN

In West Tennessee, delivered prices for common driveway gravels typically run roughly $30 to $70 per ton depending on type and local availability. For the Hello Gravel minimum order of 3 tons that usually means about $90 to $210 for material, while a larger truckload (roughly 12 to 16 tons) will commonly fall in the $360 to $1,120 range delivered. Exact pricing depends on the gravel type, your Huntingdon zip code, and any delivery or access fees, so we recommend getting a quote through our site.

A typical tri-axle dump truck used in our network carries about 10 to 14 cubic yards of gravel, which equals roughly 13 to 20 tons depending on material density. As a rule of thumb, that truckload covers about 1,600 to 2,200 square feet at a 2-inch depth, or about 1,050 to 1,450 square feet at a 3-inch depth. Exact capacity and coverage vary by local supplier trucks and the specific gravel type supplied in Huntingdon.

For most Huntingdon driveways, 2 inches is usually too thin for long-term use. We recommend a finished surface depth of 3 to 4 inches for typical car traffic, over a well-prepared base; for weak or clay soils common in parts of West Tennessee, add a 4 to 6 inch compacted base layer of larger stone for better stability. Proper grading and drainage are also important to prevent rutting during heavy rains.

Cheapest driveway options are often recycled concrete, crusher-run (also called road base), or local screenings, since they use reclaimed or locally available material. Hello Gravel sources materials from local suppliers in West Tennessee, so these lower-cost options are often available for Huntingdon deliveries. Keep in mind cheaper materials may require more maintenance and may look different than decorative gravels.

Example for a 100 ft long by 12 ft wide single-car driveway (1,200 sq ft): at a 3-inch finished depth you'll need about 15 tons of gravel; at a 2-inch depth about 10 tons. Using common West Tennessee delivered price ranges ($30 to $70 per ton), material + delivery would roughly be $300 to $1,050 for 10 tons, or $450 to $1,050 for 15 tons, with the final number depending on gravel type, supplier, and any delivery specifics for Huntingdon. Use our material calculator or get a local quote to lock in exact pricing.

Assuming a 20 ft long by 12 ft wide driveway (240 sq ft), you need roughly 2 to 3 cubic yards, which converts to about 3 to 4 tons depending on material. Because Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum, a 20 ft driveway often hits that minimum and will commonly cost in the range of $90 to $280 for material plus any delivery fees, depending on the gravel you choose and local Huntingdon supplier pricing. We suggest ordering at least 3 tons and confirming delivery details at checkout.

Coverage depends on depth: 1 cubic yard covers about 162 square feet at a 2-inch depth and about 108 square feet at a 3-inch depth. Because 1 cubic yard of gravel typically weighs about 1.3 to 1.4 tons, 1 ton will cover roughly 110 to 120 square feet at 2 inches, or about 73 to 85 square feet at 3 inches. These are estimates for common crushed stone used in West Tennessee; actual coverage varies with material type and compaction.

If you have a truck and trailer and time to load, picking up gravel from a local supplier is usually cheaper because you avoid delivery charges. However, Hello Gravel's delivery service is often the most convenient option in Huntingdon, especially if you need multiple tons or do not have suitable hauling equipment; we also manage scheduling and local haulers. Compare the supplier pickup price plus your fuel/time cost to the delivered quote to decide which is cheaper for your situation.

Common lower-cost alternatives include recycled concrete (RCA), crusher-run/road base, and coarse screenings; these materials are frequently available from local suppliers in the West Tennessee region. Hello Gravel works with local suppliers and haulers who often offer these options for Huntingdon deliveries, though availability depends on local stock and geology. When choosing an alternative, consider drainage, compaction, and appearance tradeoffs.

Price is driven by gravel type, quantity ordered, distance from the local supplier to your Huntingdon address, and site access (narrow drives or obstacles can add charges). Seasonal demand, time-sensitive delivery requests (like next-day service), and optional services such as tailgate spreading at the driver's discretion can also affect cost. Requesting a quote through Hello Gravel with your zip code and delivery details will give you the most accurate price.

Start on the Hello Gravel website by selecting the gravel type and entering your Huntingdon zip code, then use our material calculator to estimate quantity; the minimum order is 3 tons. Standard delivery is scheduled for 2+ business days, with a next-day option available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee, and tailgate spreading can be requested at checkout but is performed at the driver's discretion.
