Gravel in Macon, TN

Typical bulk gravel prices in West Tennessee vary by type, but expect roughly $30 to $70 per ton (about $40 to $90 per cubic yard). Final price depends on material (screenings, crushed stone, recycled concrete), seasonal demand, and delivery distance. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum and often includes free delivery in nearby areas; check your zip code for exact pricing and any next-day delivery fees.

For a 20 ft long by 10 ft wide driveway, volume is about 0.9 to 2.5 cubic yards depending on depth: 2" shows about 1.6 cu yd, 3" about 2.4 cu yd, 4" about 3.2 cu yd (roughly 1.3 tons per cubic yard). Using local price ranges ($30-$70/ton), expect material cost around $60 to $225 for that small area, plus delivery and any spreading or compaction. If you mean a 20 ft wide driveway, scale these estimates by width; larger jobs often get better per-ton pricing.

Two inches is generally too thin for a functional vehicle driveway in West Tennessee; it may work for a temporary surface or footpath. For a long-lasting driveway plan on a properly prepared base: 3" to 4" of wearing gravel over a compacted base is common, and new driveways typically need 6" to 8" of compacted base material. Local clay soils and summer storms in West Tennessee make a solid base and good drainage especially important.

Start with clearing and grading the area, then install geotextile fabric if drainage or soft soils are a concern to limit mixing of soil and stone. Lay 4" to 6" (or more for driveways) of compactable base material such as crush-and-run or crushed stone, compact it well, then add a 2" to 3" wearing layer of #57 or similar surface stone. Edge restraints and proper slope for runoff help keep the gravel in place in West Tennessee's wet periods.

The cheapest local options in West Tennessee are often recycled concrete, crush-and-run (also called bank run or screenings), or road base blends because they use mixed sizes and fines. Clean decorative stones like pea gravel or washed #57 tend to cost more. Prices and availability vary by supplier and region, so check Hello Gravel for local material options and exact pricing.

Approximate coverage: 1 ton (about 0.74 cu yd) covers about 120 sq ft at 2", 80 sq ft at 3", and 60 sq ft at 4". Four cubic yards covers about 648 sq ft at 2", 432 sq ft at 3", and 324 sq ft at 4". These are estimates; actual coverage varies with stone size, compaction, and moisture content.

Naming varies by region, but generally 'Type 4' is a compactable road-base mix with a range of particle sizes and fines for stability, while '#3' (or #57 in some areas) is a cleaner crushed stone with uniform size used for drainage and a finished surface. For a driveway base in West Tennessee choose a Type 4 or crush-and-run for compaction, then top with #57 or similar for a wearing surface. Ask Hello Gravel for local spec photos or sample names, since supplier labels differ locally.

Gravel is cheaper upfront: typical installed gravel driveways in the region often cost a fraction of concrete per square foot, while concrete usually runs several times higher due to labor and materials. However, gravel requires periodic maintenance (regrading and adding stone) while concrete has higher initial cost but lower routine upkeep. Consider long-term use, drainage issues on your Macon property, and budget when choosing; we can help compare estimates for your project.
