Gravel in Memphis, TN

A u0022loadu0022 usually refers to a truck delivery; Hello Gravel commonly uses tri-axle dump trucks that carry about 10 to 14 tons depending on material and local limits. We also offer smaller minimum orders of 3 tons for customers who do not need a full truck. Contact our team or check your checkout for the exact truck size for your delivery zip code.

Prices in Memphis typically range by material: basic crushed stone often runs about $25 to $40 per ton delivered, while decorative or specialty gravels can be $40 to $60+ per ton. Final price depends on gravel type, local supplier rates, and delivery distance, so check your zip code on Hello Gravel for an exact quote.

A typical 10-ton truckload at $25 to $40 per ton would cost roughly $250 to $400, while decorative mixes could push a 10-ton load to $400 to $600 or more. Hello Gravel shows transparent pricing and any delivery fees at checkout so you can see exact costs for your address before you order.

Coverage depends on depth. One ton of gravel covers about 120 square feet at 2 inches deep, about 80 square feet at 3 inches, and about 40 square feet at 6 inches. Plan for some extra material for compaction, settling, and slopes.

For a 12 ft by 50 ft driveway (600 sq ft), you would need about 8 tons for a 3-inch layer and about 5 tons for a 2-inch layer; adding 10% to 15% extra for compaction and waste is recommended. Hello Gravel has a minimum order of 3 tons, and you can use our material calculator or contact our sales team to get a precise recommendation for your driveway.

First calculate cubic yards: multiply area (ft^2) by depth (ft) and divide by 27. Then convert to tons by multiplying cubic yards by about 1.4 (rough rule for most gravels), or use Hello Gravel's calculator to avoid manual math and get a delivery-ready quantity. If you are unsure about depth for drainage or local soil, our team can help with recommendations.

Materials are regionally sourced, so color, texture, and particle shape will reflect Memphis area geology and local supplier stock. Photos are representative; you can add color preferences in Order Notes, but exact matches are not guaranteed due to natural variation.

Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion and you should request this service at checkout, but Hello Gravel does not guarantee spreading. Drivers will assess safety, yard access, and obstructions on arrival and may decline if conditions prevent safe spreading.

Standard delivery generally requires 2 or more business days, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. You can choose a preferred delivery date at checkout, and we will confirm scheduling with you, but exact arrival times are not guaranteed.
