Gravel in Medon, TN

In West Tennessee around Medon, expect delivered gravel prices roughly $20 to $45 per ton depending on type (pea gravel, crushed stone, #57) and supplier. For a small residential driveway delivery, flat-rate jobs for a tri-axle dump run often land between $400 and $1,200, depending on distance, truck access, and whether spreading is requested.

For Medon driveways, a compactable crushed stone such as #57 or a stone and fines mix (crusher run/ABC) gives good stability and drainage. Pea gravel works for low-traffic decorative driveways but displaces more easily and is harder to compact, so it is less ideal for farm lanes. For heavier farm traffic, build a keyed base with larger stone and a compacted aggregate base course to reduce rutting.

A 12×60 ft area is 720 sq ft. At 2" depth you need about 6.7 tons, at 3" about 10.0 tons, and at 4" about 13.3 tons (using a 1.5 tons per cubic yard rule of thumb). Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum, so plan accordingly and round up for waste and settling.

Medon sits in a humid, often wet part of West Tennessee with clay soils that hold water; heavy summer rains and occasional freezes can cause washouts and frost heave. Good drainage is critical: add crown and slopes, install edge drainage or French drains where runoff concentrates, and use angular crushed stone that resists migration. Geotextile fabric under the gravel helps separate it from clay and reduces mixing that leads to rutting.

A properly built gravel driveway in Medon typically performs well for 8–15 years before major rebuilding is needed, though surface refreshes are common. Routine maintenance includes annual grading to remove ruts, topping 1–3 inches of new gravel every 2–5 years, and keeping drainage clear. Expect small annual material and labor costs—often $100 to $700 per year depending on driveway size and traffic.

Upfront, gravel is the least expensive option (often $1–$3 per sq ft installed), asphalt sits midrange ($3–$5 per sq ft), and concrete is typically highest ($4–$10 per sq ft). Over 10–20 years, gravel requires more frequent maintenance and periodic replenishment but lower initial cost, while asphalt and concrete need less frequent topping but higher upfront investment and occasional repairs. Choose gravel in Medon if you want lower initial cost and easier, local repairs; choose asphalt or concrete for lower ongoing maintenance and a smoother surface.

Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order for most areas including Medon, and deliveries are made by local contracted dump trucks (usually tri-axle). Additional fees may apply if trucks need long private road access, tight backing, or off-road parking; tailgate spreading can be requested but is done at the driver's discretion and may carry a small fee. If you need mechanical spreading or loaders, expect extra equipment and labor charges that range from modest to a few hundred dollars depending on scope.

For septic access and parking pads use a compactable base of 3–4 inches of crusher run or ABC over a well-compacted subgrade, with a 1–2 inch surface of #57 or washed stone for drainage. For farm lanes, build a stronger section: 4–6 inches of aggregate base (larger stone) compacted in lifts, topped with 1–2 inches of surface stone; consider geotextile fabric on saturated clay soils. Always compact each layer tightly with a roller or plate compactor to minimize rutting and migration.

Most Medon homeowners should expect to regrade problem spots annually and add 1–3 inches of new gravel every 2–5 years depending on traffic and drainage. Typical annual costs for light-use driveways run from roughly $100 to $500 for materials and a modest trailer-load delivery or DIY labor; higher-traffic driveways or larger areas can run several hundred to over $1,000 when professional grading and truck delivery are needed. Good drainage reduces how often you need to add gravel.
