Gravel in Kyles Ford, TN

Material prices in rural West Tennessee like Kyles Ford commonly range from about $20 to $50 per ton for basic bulk gravel; delivered prices including truck fees often run about $40 to $100 per ton depending on distance and order size. As a rule of thumb, 1 cubic yard of gravel weighs roughly 1.2 to 1.6 tons, so expect about $30 to $85 per cubic yard delivered. Hello Gravel minimum orders start at 3 tons and delivery method is by dump truck, so final cost varies with supplier, haul distance, and access.

For Kyles Ford's clay-heavy, wet conditions, crushed stone blends with fines (crusher run) or #57 stone with a compacted finer base perform best because they lock together and shed water. Pea gravel looks nice but shifts and washes out in heavy rain, so use it only over a well-compacted base and in low-traffic areas. Adding a well-draining base layer and, where needed, geotextile fabric improves long-term performance in this climate.

Measure length, width, and desired depth in inches. Multiply length x width x depth (in feet) to get cubic feet, divide by 27 to get cubic yards, then multiply cubic yards by about 1.4 to convert to tons (adjust between 1.2-1.6 depending on material). For example, a 12 ft x 40 ft driveway at 4 inches deep is 160 ft2 x 0.333 ft = 53.3 cu ft = 2.0 cu yd, which is roughly 2.8 tons; always order 5-10% extra for grading and compaction.

Labor for spreading and compacting gravel in rural Tennessee typically runs about $5 to $15 per ton, depending on site access, slope, and prep work. If a contractor is doing full base excavation, grading, geotextile, and compaction, expect roughly $1.50 to $4.50 per square foot, with higher costs for difficult access or large equipment needs. Ask for itemized quotes and confirm whether delivery, grading, and compaction are included.

Loose, un-compacted gravel on a rural lane can need regrading or fresh material every 1 to 3 years after heavy rains. A well-compacted crushed-stone surface typically lasts 3 to 8 years before requiring significant replenishment, while stabilized or bound gravel systems can last 8 to 15+ years with less upkeep. Local rainfall, traffic, and drainage quality are the main factors that change these timelines in Kyles Ford.

Kyles Ford is a small rural community, so most suppliers source materials regionally; typical delivery radii for quarries and pit operators are 20 to 60 miles, sometimes longer for larger orders. Delivery fees depend on distance, truck availability, and order size—smaller jobs pay more per ton for haul. With Hello Gravel you can check zip code availability online, minimum order is 3 tons, and delivery is via contracted dump truck fleets with clear pricing up front.

Gravel has the lowest upfront cost and is usually the most cost-effective option for rural Kyles Ford driveways if you accept regular maintenance. Stabilized gravel reduces maintenance and can approach the lifecycle costs of asphalt but still generally costs less than asphalt or concrete to install. Asphalt and concrete have higher initial costs but lower routine maintenance; for low-to-moderate traffic farm lanes gravel or stabilized gravel is often the better 10-year choice, but site-specific drainage and use should guide the decision.

For heavy-use farm lanes and high-traffic driveways use a 8 to 12 inch compacted base of larger crushed rock or recycled roadbase, with a geotextile underlayment over soft clay to reduce mixing. Add a 2 to 3 inch wearing surface of 3/4" crushed stone or crusher run on top. For drainage or culvert surrounds use open-graded stone (1" to 2") and filter fabric to keep fines out and promote flow.

Gravel drains very well and is commonly used around foundations and culverts in West Tennessee because coarse stone allows water to pass and reduces hydrostatic pressure. Use washed 3/4" stone with perforated pipe wrapped in filter fabric next to foundations for effective drainage; riprap or larger rock is better where high flow or erosion is expected. Proper placement and filter fabric are key—gravel alone may clog over time without a pipe or fabric envelope.

Homeowners in Kyles Ford typically regrade and add 1 to 3 inches of fresh stone every 1 to 5 years depending on traffic and weather, fill ruts after heavy rains, and maintain side ditches for proper drainage. Other common practices are applying fines or dust guards to firm the surface, using weed control or landscape fabric under edges, and installing or cleaning culverts and swales to prevent washouts. Regular light maintenance after storms greatly reduces the need for major repairs.
