Gravel in Norris, TN

In West Tennessee, delivered gravel typically ranges from about $30 to $60 per ton depending on the type (pea gravel, crushed stone, river rock), delivery distance, and seasonal demand. Hello Gravel shows exact local pricing at checkout so you can see supplier rates and delivery fees for Norris (pop. 1,589). Prices are estimates until confirmed at order time.

A quick way to estimate is: cubic yards = (square feet x depth in inches) / 324, and 1 cubic yard is roughly 1.4 tons. Using that conversion, 1 ton of gravel covers about 115 square feet at a 2-inch depth. Use our material calculator for an exact number based on the gravel type you choose.

No, 2 inches is generally too thin for a driveway. For a stable residential driveway in Norris soils, plan on 4 to 6 inches of compacted crushed stone as the base and an additional 1 to 2 inches of surface gravel; heavier use or poor subsoil may require 6 to 8 inches. Proper compaction and drainage are crucial for longevity.

For a decorative garden path, 2 to 3 inches of compacted fine gravel or pea gravel is usually sufficient with edging to keep material contained. If the path will see heavier foot traffic or you are installing pavers, aim for 4 to 6 inches of compacted base and consider a geotextile fabric to limit settling. Local freeze-thaw cycles in Tennessee mean good drainage helps avoid heaving.

Small amounts of washed gravel used as a shoreline surface are generally fine, but avoid fine screenings or soil that can wash into the lake and cloud the water. For any lakefront projects, use washed, larger stone and erosion-control measures (like fabric and proper grading) and check local shoreline regulations before starting work. Large-scale material movement into the lake can harm habitat and water clarity.

Crushed stone (commonly 3/4" crushed rock or dense grade aggregate) is a reliable choice for Norris driveways because it compacts well and provides interlock. Avoid round river rock for driveways since it moves under tires; use river rock only for decorative areas. Local suppliers often stock regionally common mixes, so check photos and descriptions on the Hello Gravel listing.

Clear the delivery and spread area of debris, mark any underground utilities, and provide clear truck access including required turning space and overhead clearance. If you want material placed in a specific spot, add detailed Order Notes and confirm access with our team; drivers work at their discretion for tailgate spreading and will assess safety on arrival. Remember Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order for deliveries.

Standard delivery is 2 or more business days, while next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Deliveries are made by contracted dump truck fleets (typically tri-axle trucks) and many areas qualify for free delivery—exact timing and fees are shown at checkout. Tailgate spreading may be possible but is not guaranteed and is at the driver's discretion.

Yes, properly sized stone like riprap or larger crushed rock can be effective for shoreline erosion control, but it must be specified for slope, wave energy, and soil conditions. Installation usually includes geotextile fabric beneath the stone and may require permits or approval from local authorities or the Tennessee Valley Authority depending on location. Talk with a local contractor or Hello Gravel customer service for material recommendations and delivery logistics.

Gravel is affordable, low maintenance, and promotes drainage—useful for Tennessee yards that need erosion control or reduced lawn area. It comes in many sizes and colors, so you can match local stone aesthetics; regional sourcing means the look will reflect Norris geology. Gravel is also easy to refresh or add to over time, making it a flexible long-term landscape material.
