Gravel in Oak Ridge, TN

Prices vary by material, delivery distance, and truck size. In Oak Ridge you can expect common driveway and landscaping gravels to range roughly from $40 to $90 per ton delivered, depending on type and whether next-day delivery or spreading is requested. The exact price is shown at checkout or by getting a quote for your zip code.

Oak Ridge has historic sites tied to the Manhattan Project, but local gravel suppliers and quarries used for construction materials are regulated and operate under state and federal rules. If you are concerned, ask the supplier or Hello Gravel for the material source and any testing/certificates; reputable suppliers will not deliver material from restricted or remediated sites.

No; professional suppliers source from permitted quarries and borrow pits, not from restricted federal sites. If you want the exact provenance, request the quarry name or a material certificate through Hello Gravel and we can pass that to the supplier.

Coverage depends on depth and compaction. As a rule of thumb, 1 ton of typical crushed stone covers about 120 sq ft at 2" depth, about 80 sq ft at 3" depth, and about 60 sq ft at 4" depth. These are estimates—actual coverage varies with stone size and how much it compacts.

For a structural driveway that will handle cars, 2 inches is generally too thin. We usually recommend 3" to 6" compacted crushed stone over a stable subgrade, with heavier traffic requiring deeper sections. For a decorative dressing or atop an existing solid base, 2" can be acceptable.

Calculate area (length x width) and desired depth, then convert to cubic yards and tons. For example, a 12' x 40' driveway (480 sq ft) at 4" depth requires about 6 cubic yards, roughly 8 tons of gravel. Use Hello Gravel's material calculator or contact our team for a precise estimate for your specific driveway dimensions.

Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, but this is not guaranteed. Request the service at checkout and the driver will assess safety and access upon arrival; if spreading is critical, plan for a professional spreading crew or arrange additional services beforehand.

Materials are regionally sourced, so color, texture, and stone mix reflect local geology and quarry processes. Photos are representative; if color or texture is important for your Oak Ridge project, add that request in Order Notes or ask the supplier for a sample before delivery.

Contact Hello Gravel as soon as possible with order changes; it's easier to modify before the order is dispatched. We will do our best to accommodate requests, but changes depend on the supplier and trucking schedule, and cannot be guaranteed once processing or dispatch has started.

Yes, the right gravel performs well in East Tennessee if you choose durable, well-draining stone like crushed rock or angular stone that interlocks when compacted. Avoid fine, overly rounded materials in load-bearing areas because they can shift and wash out more easily during wet freeze-thaw seasons.

Yes—if you need gradation, source, or material certificates for a commercial project, request them through Hello Gravel and we will ask the supplier. Contractors often request sieve analysis or material spec sheets; homeowners can request basic source and stone type information.

Most residential deliveries in Oak Ridge are straightforward, but narrow streets, low-hanging wires, or steep driveways can affect truck access. If your property has tight access or HOA rules, note that in Order Notes or call our team so we can coordinate the proper truck size and delivery plan.

For driveways and load-bearing areas, 3/4" crushed stone or crush-and-run is commonly recommended because it compacts well and drains. For walkways and decorative beds, pea gravel or river rock are popular; however, availability and exact appearance will reflect local Tennessee quarries, so ask about samples or pictures for Oak Ridge-specific options.

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