Gravel in New Johnsonville, TN

Typical delivered gravel costs near New Johnsonville vary by material and supplier, but expect roughly $30 to $70 per ton delivered as a general range. Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum order and works with local haulers; delivery is usually by tri-axle dump truck with standard service in 2+ business days and a next-day option for orders placed before noon CST (additional fee applies). For an accurate price, check your zip code on the site or request a local quote since regional quarry rates and truck access can change final cost.

For clay soils common in West Tennessee, compactible mixes with some fines perform best as a base: crusher run and limestone screenings are good choices because they lock together and resist rutting. #57 stone is a durable surface layer for driveways but should be placed over a compacted base; pea gravel is attractive but tends to migrate on clay and is not recommended as a primary driveway surface. Consider a geotextile fabric under the base and proper drainage to reduce settling in wet weather.

Use this rule: tons = area (sq ft) x depth (in) x 0.00432. For a 12x40 driveway (480 sq ft) you need about 6.2 tons at 3" deep or about 8.3 tons at 4" deep. For a 20x40 driveway (800 sq ft) you need about 10.4 tons at 3" or about 13.8 tons at 4"; Hello Gravel has a material calculator to estimate exact amounts for your project.

Yes. New Johnsonville's humid, wet summers and occasional heavy storms make drainage a priority; add a thicker base (4" or more compacted crusher run) and slope the drive away from structures. Install culverts, French drains, or swales where water concentrates, and consider geotextile fabric to separate clay subgrade from gravel to reduce mixing and rutting during wet periods.

Many homeowners in this region regrade and top up a gravel driveway every 1 to 3 years, with lighter maintenance (raking and minor fill) yearly and heavier replenishment every few years depending on traffic and drainage. Typical annual material top-up might be 0.25" to 0.5" (roughly 1 to 3 tons for a single-car driveway); at local delivered prices that often translates to roughly $50 to $300 per year for material, plus any labor or spreading costs. Costs vary with material choice, local rates, and whether you hire spreading help.

Gravel is generally less expensive up front and easier to repair after wet seasons, but it requires periodic regrading and topping that add to long-term costs. Asphalt has higher initial cost but typically needs less frequent surface attention; however, in areas with poor drainage or frequent freeze-thaw it can crack. For many New Johnsonville homeowners with rural driveways, gravel is often the more practical and cost-effective choice when paired with proper drainage and base preparation.

Local rules vary, so check with the Humphreys County Highway Department or the county planning office before starting work, especially if you will connect to a county road or need a new driveway entrance. They can advise on permits, culvert requirements, sight-distance or setback rules, and any road access standards. Hello Gravel recommends confirming permits and access constraints before scheduling delivery to avoid delays or extra fees.

For erosion control on slopes and creek banks, use larger, angular rock such as 2-6" riprap or 3"+ quarried stone rather than fine driveway gravel. Breakwater stone, riprap, or gabion-fill rock resist movement better during high water and heavy rains common in the region. Combine rock with proper grading, vegetation, and geotextile fabric to stabilize soil and reduce undercutting.

Hello Gravel offers bulk load-and-dump deliveries by tri-axle trucks (minimum 3 tons) that are cost-efficient for driveways and larger landscaping jobs, while bagged gravel is available for very small projects and tight-access areas. Bagged material costs more per ton but can be carried through gates or upstairs; bulk delivery is cheaper per ton but requires truck access and enough room to safely dump. Request photos of your site when ordering or contact our team to confirm truck access and delivery options.

Clear the delivery path of low branches, fences, utility lines, and parked vehicles and confirm overhead clearance and turn radius for a tri-axle dump truck. Mark the preferred drop zone and include delivery notes at checkout; drivers will assess tailgate spreading requests on arrival but may decline for safety. If access is limited, consider smaller loads, bagged delivery, or discuss alternate drop locations with Hello Gravel before scheduling.

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