Gravel in Laurelbloomery, TN

For driveways and RV pads in the Laurelbloomery area we recommend crushed stone with fines (often called crusher run or #411) or #57 crushed stone. Crusher run compacts well and creates a stable base; #57 on top gives good drainage and a firmer surface for vehicle traffic. Pea gravel looks nice but can shift under heavy loads, so use it only over a compacted base or for decorative areas.

Use the rule of thumb that 1 cubic yard of gravel weighs about 1.4 tons. Example estimates: a 12' x 50' driveway at 3" depth needs about 5.6 cubic yards (≈7.8 tons); a 15' x 30' RV pad at 4" depth needs about 5.6 cubic yards (≈7.8 tons) as well. For quick planning, calculate area x depth to get cubic feet, divide by 27 for cubic yards, then multiply by ~1.4 for tons.

Delivery cost varies by distance to supplier, road access, and truck type; rural deliveries often run higher than urban deliveries. As a rough range, expect delivered gravel prices in West Tennessee to commonly fall between $25 and $60 per ton; multiply per-ton rates by ~1.4 to estimate per-yard pricing. For an exact price see our checkout after entering your zip code or contact our team for a local quote.

Hello Gravel requires a minimum order of 3 tons. Delivery is typically by tri-axle dump truck and requires adequate access—drivers need room to turn and a safe place to dump, and local weight limits or narrow roads can add restrictions or fees. Choose your delivery date at checkout; standard delivery takes 2+ business days and next-day is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee.

West Tennessee soils often have clayey, moisture-retaining layers that can lead to rutting and poor drainage if a proper base is not installed. For these conditions use a well-compacted base (crusher run) 4-6" or more under driveways and RV pads, topped with 2-3" of surface stone for light use, and deeper for heavy use. Add a geotextile fabric where drainage is poor or on soft subgrade to reduce mixing of soil and gravel.

Local rules vary—many rural properties in West Tennessee do not require a permit for a private driveway, but some counties require driveway permits or culverts when connecting to county roads. Homeowners associations, if present, may have surface or appearance rules. Before installing, check with your county road department and any HOA or local planning office to confirm requirements.

Some local suppliers and haulers in our network offer additional services such as grading, spreading, and compaction, but availability varies by supplier. Prices depend on equipment and job complexity; as a rough guide budget for $100-$600+ for a small machine and operator or roughly $8-$20 per cubic yard in many rural projects, but you should get a site-specific quote. Request installation options at checkout or contact our sales team to arrange local contractor pricing.

For campgrounds and RV parks, crusher run or #57 crushed stone are common choices—crusher run compacts into a stable base while #57 provides a stone surface that drains well. For heavy RV traffic use a compacted base of crusher run 4-6" plus a 2-3" wearing course of #57; consider edging and drainage swales to control washouts during heavy rain. In wet spots consider subdrainage or geotextile fabric to improve long-term performance.

West Tennessee gets heavy rain and warm-season storms, and lower-elevation areas can hold water—this leads to erosion, washboarding, and rutting if drainage or compaction is inadequate. Freeze-thaw cycles are milder than in northern states but can still cause movement in winter; regular maintenance like grading, adding fresh stone, and keeping ditches clear helps longevity. Scheduling larger deliveries and compaction work in dry seasons reduces risk of spreading during wet conditions.

Hello Gravel negotiates local supplier rates and can often provide tiered pricing or volume discounts for large orders; exact discounts depend on supplier availability and haul distances. Financing options are not uniform across suppliers—contact our sales team for developer or large-project pricing and to discuss any available payment plans or account terms. For large projects we recommend getting a site estimate so we can secure the best local rate and delivery plan.

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