Gravel in Selmer, TN

Prices vary by material, supplier, season, and delivery distance, but expect approximate delivered ranges: #57 crushed stone $25-$45/ton, crushed stone/1" minus or crusher run $20-$40/ton, and pea gravel $40-$80/ton. These are ballpark figures for West Tennessee and Selmer; exact pricing appears at checkout or when you request a quote through Hello Gravel. Delivery fees, minimums, and local sourcing can push the final per-ton price up or down.

Selmer is served by regional quarries and landscape suppliers across West Tennessee; Hello Gravel connects you with those local suppliers and haulers. Typical minimums for bulk deliveries are about 3 tons (Hello Gravel minimum), though some quarries or landscapers may require 5-10 tons for direct yard pickup or special material runs. Contact our team or check your zip code on the site for the exact suppliers and minimums in your area.

For Selmer's conditions, a common recommendation is 4" of compacted gravel for light use and 6" or more for heavier trucks. For a 50-foot long driveway that width approximations: 1-car (10') needs about 8-12 tons, 2-car (16') about 13-19 tons, and 3-car (24') about 19-29 tons at the 4"-6" depth range. These are estimates—clay subsoils or poor drainage may require a thicker base, so consider a site inspection for a precise calculation.

McNairy County has clay-rich subsoils that hold water and slow drainage, which increases the chance of rutting, washouts, and uneven settling after heavy rain. To combat this, use a well-compacted stone base, coarse drainage layers (larger crushed rock) below finer surfacing, crown the driveway for runoff, and add swales or culverts where water concentrates. Installing geotextile fabric and proper grading reduces mixing of clay and gravel and improves long-term performance.

Permit requirements depend on the property: many rural properties in McNairy County need no simple driveway permit, but curb cuts or new access onto a state route may require Tennessee Department of Transportation approval. If you live inside Selmer city limits or in an HOA, check Selmer City Hall, McNairy County offices, and your HOA rules before starting work. When in doubt, contact local permitting offices and mention driveway drainage and any work in the public right-of-way.

Expect to regrade and fill low spots after major storms or once a year for moderate-use driveways, with light top-up (1-3" of fresh gravel) every 2-4 years. High-traffic or heavy-truck use may require more frequent maintenance and possibly more frequent full resurfacings every 3-5 years. Good initial base construction, proper drainage, and routine grading will reduce long-term upkeep.

For heavy loads we recommend a deep, compacted base of larger crushed stone (2"-3" minus or 3/4" crushed stone) topped with a lockable, angular surfacing such as crusher run or #57 stone with fines for stability. A thicker base (6" to 8" compacted) plus geotextile fabric and edge restraints will limit rutting and lateral movement under heavy trucks and RVs. Avoid only using pea gravel as a surface in high-traffic situations because it shifts and washes out more easily.

Gravel is typically the lowest initial cost and easiest to install, but it requires ongoing maintenance like regrading and topping and has a shorter life before major repairs. Asphalt has a higher upfront cost than gravel but smoother surface and lower routine maintenance; expect periodic sealcoating and overlays. Concrete has the highest installation cost but is lowest maintenance long-term; local labor and material rates in West Tennessee affect exact figures, so get quotes for your specific site and expected traffic.

Use a geotextile separation fabric over soft clay subgrade to prevent mixing, a compacted base of larger crushed stone (4"-8" depending on conditions), and a 2"-3" surface layer of crusher run or angular stone. Install edge restraints such as steel/plastic edging, timber, or concrete curbs to keep material contained, and create crowned profiles and side ditches to direct water away from the surface. On slopes or concentrated flow lines add culverts or check dams to reduce erosion during heavy West Tennessee rains.

Yes, small dump trucks can sometimes deliver to rural Selmer addresses, but they carry less material (typically 2-6 tons) and often have higher per-ton delivery rates than full-size tri-axle trucks. Hello Gravel typically uses larger dump trucks for bulk deliveries and enforces a 3-ton minimum order, but we can arrange smaller deliveries where available—expect an additional fee for smaller trucks, long driveway access, or difficult sites. Provide your address and site details in checkout or call our team to confirm availability and cost.

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

We cannot get out of the truck and manually spread it. However, depending on the location, safety, and comfortability of the driver – we may be able to tailgate spread your material. This involves pulling the truck forward as material is being dumped to make it easier for you to distribute material after delivery.

The minimum order size is 3 tons.
