On clay soils in West Tennessee, start with a compactable base like crusher run (has fines for locking) and top with an angular stone such as #57 or 3/4" crushed stone for a stable wearing surface. Pea gravel is decorative but tends to move and sink on clay unless you install a solid base and edging. For heavy use driveways, a 4" compacted crusher run base with a 2" wearing course of #57 is a common, durable approach.

Use this quick guide for 1,000 sq ft: 3" depth ≈ 13.0 tons, 4" depth ≈ 17.3 tons, and 6" depth ≈ 25.9 tons. A simple formula is: tons = area (sq ft) × depth (ft) / 27 × 1.4 (tons per cubic yard). Keep in mind Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum, so small jobs may still hit that threshold.

Orlinda's hot, humid summers and frequent heavy rains can wash ruts and migrate fines, while occasional freeze-thaw cycles may cause surface movement in winter. Good drainage, a compacted base, proper crown and grading, and periodic top-ups and regrading will extend a gravel driveway's life. Expect routine maintenance (raking, adding material, light regrading) every 1–3 years depending on traffic and local storms.

Typical prep includes removing topsoil, grading to establish a crown for drainage, installing geotextile fabric on very soft clay, and placing 4–6" of crusher run or similar compactable base compacted in layers with a plate compactor or roller. Compacting in 2–3" lifts and finishing with a 2–3" wearing course of #57 or 3/4" stone yields the best results. Labor and equipment add cost, so get local quotes for excavation, fabric, and compaction when budgeting.

Permit and HOA rules vary by property; Orlinda is a small community so local requirements can differ by street or neighborhood. Check with Orlinda city hall and Robertson County zoning, and review any HOA covenants before you start the work. If you connect to a state or county road you may need a driveway permit or encroachment approval.

Installed costs vary with prep, thickness, and access; a rough range for a contractor-installed compacted gravel driveway in West Tennessee is about $1.50 to $4.00 per sq ft, which covers excavation, base stone, compaction, and a wearing course. If you prefer price per ton, delivered plus basic spreading often falls between $40 and $90 per ton installed depending on labor and mobilization. Always request itemized local quotes so you can compare base depth, compaction, and material type.

For drainage use clean, washed crushed stone (commonly 3/4" or 1" drain rock) rather than fines or decorative pea gravel; washed angular stone passes water and resists clogging. Line the trench with geotextile fabric, place the stone around the pipe, and cover with fabric before backfilling to prevent soil migration. Pea gravel is sometimes used for aesthetics but can trap fines and reduce long-term drainage performance.

Gravel has the lowest upfront material cost but requires periodic maintenance; expect 5–15 years of useful life before major overhaul if well maintained. Asphalt offers a mid-range cost and typically lasts 15–25 years with resealing every few years, while concrete has the highest initial cost and can last 30+ years with lower routine maintenance. In West Tennessee, drainage and proper base prep are crucial for any surface because heavy rains and seasonal movement affect all pavement types; factor long-term maintenance into your decision and get local estimates for apples-to-apples comparisons.
