Gravel in Huntsville, TN

Material prices in the Huntsville area vary by type and supply, but expect roughly $20 to $60 per ton for common crushed stone and decorative gravels, with higher-end specialty rock costing more. Delivery fees depend on distance, truck type, and quantity and often range from about $50 to $150; many orders in our network include free delivery depending on supplier and zip code. Exact costs change with market and volume, so use our calculator or request a quote for a final price (minimum order is 3 tons).

On the clay-heavy soils of West Tennessee, angular crushed stone such as 3/4" crushed limestone or #57 crushed stone performs best because the pieces lock together and shed water better than round rock. Use screenings or stone dust as a compacted base layer to create a stable platform, and avoid loose, round pea gravel for driveways since it migrates and floats on clay. Adding a geotextile fabric under the base helps separate the clay and improves longevity.

Use area x depth to calculate volume, then convert to tons: volume (cu ft) = length x width x depth (in ft), divide by 27 to get cubic yards, then multiply by about 1.4 tons per cubic yard for crushed stone. For example, a 20' x 20' driveway resurfaced at 2" requires about 3.5 tons; at 3" about 7.4 tons; at 4" about 9.3 tons. Always order about 10% extra for compaction and waste and remember our minimum order is 3 tons.

Huntsville sees regular rainfall and occasional freeze/thaw cycles that can cause rutting, washouts, and migration of fines—especially on clay subgrades. Regular maintenance—grading to restore crown, adding fresh gravel or fines, and keeping good drainage at edges—prevents most issues. For clay sites, invest in a compacted base, edge restraints, and proper swales or french drains to extend the driveway's life (typical life 5–15 years depending on upkeep).

Same-day delivery can be possible if a local supplier and truck are available and you order before the regional cutoff, but it is not guaranteed; our standard delivery window is 2+ business days with a next-day option available for orders placed before noon CST. Bulk deliveries are common—minimum orders on our platform are 3 tons—and delivery fees vary by supplier and distance; many orders in our network include free delivery, while others may charge $50 to $150.

Use clean, washed stone for subsurface drainage: a common choice is 3/4" crushed stone or #57 clean stone because it allows water flow while resisting clogging. Wrap the stone in geotextile fabric or use a filter sock to keep fine clay particles from migrating into the stone and reducing performance. For shallow surface swales, larger angular stone (1" to 2") or a mix topped with smaller rock gives better flow and erosion resistance.

Regulations vary by municipality and by HOA, and small cities like Huntsville often defer to county zoning and individual HOA covenants for driveway and front-yard landscaping rules. Before ordering, check your city or county planning/zoning office and your HOA guidelines for restrictions on loose gravel, color, dust control, drainage, or paving requirements. If in doubt, contact our sales team and we can help you include notes for compliance when ordering.

Gravel has a much lower upfront cost and is quicker to install, but it generally requires more frequent maintenance (grading, refilling, and edging) in West Tennessee's rainy and clay-prone conditions. Asphalt costs more up front and lasts longer with less routine attention, but it needs good subgrade preparation and proper drainage to avoid cracking where clay and water interact. Choose gravel if you want lower initial expense and easier repairs; choose asphalt if you prefer a smoother, lower-maintenance surface over the long term.

On slopes, start with a solid, well-compacted base of larger crushed rock, install geotextile fabric to separate the clay subsoil, and use edge restraints or small retaining walls to hold material in place. Work in thin lifts (2–3 inches) and compact each layer with a plate compactor, and add check dams or terraces and good drainage channels to slow runoff. For steep sections consider paving alternatives or a stabilized gravel product to minimize erosion.

Commercial landscaping gravel in the Huntsville area typically runs in a similar range to residential crushed stone: roughly $25 to $75 per ton delivered, depending on material type (washed vs decorative), quantity, and distance from the supplier. Bulk pricing improves with larger orders, and delivery may be free in many neighborhoods or charged based on haul distance. For precise pricing enter your zip code or request a commercial quote through our platform.

Minimize tracking and dust by installing a defined edge, periodically adding a top dressing of fines or smaller stone, and regrading to maintain proper crown and drainage. Consider a gravel stabilizer grid or polymer-stabilized gravel if you need a firmer, low-dust surface for walkways or parking. Routine light maintenance—raking, spot refilling, and occasional compaction—keeps the surface neat and reduces the need for larger repairs.

As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.
