Gravel in Oakland, TN

Delivered price varies by material and supplier, but expect a typical range of about $25 to $60 per ton (roughly $30 to $70 per cubic yard) for common driveway-grade gravels in West Tennessee and Oakland. Prices depend on gravel type, local quarry rates, delivery distance, and seasonal demand; ask for a quote to get an exact price for your zip code.

A common tri-axle dump truck delivers roughly 10 to 14 cubic yards (about 12 to 20 tons, depending on the material). Delivered cost for a single truckload in West Tennessee typically ranges from about $300 to $1,200 depending on material type and distance; heavier or specialty aggregates cost more.

Per linear foot, you need about 0.12 yd^3 (0.16 tons) at 2", 0.19 yd^3 (0.25 tons) at 3", and 0.25 yd^3 (0.33 tons) at 4" for a 20-foot-wide driveway. For a 100-foot-long, 20-foot-wide driveway that's about 12.35 yd^3 (16.1 tons) at 2", 18.52 yd^3 (24.1 tons) at 3", and 24.69 yd^3 (32.1 tons) at 4".

Costs vary, but for a 100-foot-long by 20-foot-wide driveway at a typical 3" depth expect total installed costs roughly between $1,250 and $3,600. That range assumes material delivered (about 18.5 yd^3), basic grading and light prep, and contractor spreading; steeper grading, heavy excavation, geotextile fabric, or greater compaction will raise the price.

One cubic yard covers about 162 sq ft at 2", 108 sq ft at 3", and 81 sq ft at 4". One ton (about 0.77 yd^3 for typical gravel) covers roughly 125 sq ft at 2", 83 sq ft at 3", and 62 sq ft at 4".

Generally no for long-term use in Oakland's clay soils and humid climate; 2" is only adequate for a light temporary surface over a well-compacted, stable base. For a permanent residential driveway in West Tennessee we recommend a compacted base of crushed stone and a finished gravel depth of 3" to 4"—4" or more if vehicles are heavier or drainage is poor.

Bulk delivery is usually the most cost-effective per ton for most homeowners once you meet minimums (Hello Gravel minimum is 3 tons), especially if local suppliers include free delivery. Quarry pickup can be cheaper if you have a heavy trailer and can haul large quantities yourself; bagged gravel is the most expensive option per ton and is best only for very small jobs or retail convenience.

Crusher run (also called crusher dust or ABC) is the most cost-effective and compacts well as a base, while #57 stone is a common, moderately priced top layer that drains well and looks neat. Pea gravel is inexpensive in some areas but moves and requires edging; recycled crushed concrete can be a cheaper eco-friendly option but may vary in appearance and drainage.

You can, but simply dumping gravel over grass usually leads to sinking, weeds, and poor drainage. Proper prep in Oakland includes removing sod or scarifying the turf, grading and compacting the subgrade, installing edge restraints and optional geotextile fabric, then placing a compactable base (crush-run) and finished gravel; skipping these steps increases maintenance and shortens lifespan.

A 7x14 dump trailer commonly carries about 5 to 8 cubic yards by volume but is usually limited by weight to roughly 4 to 6 tons depending on the trailer's rating. Renting and hauling your own can be cost-effective for small jobs under about 10 tons or where you want full control of timing and spreading, but for larger jobs in Oakland you may save time and money by ordering bulk delivery from a local supplier.

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