Gravel in Soddy-Daisy, TN

Delivered cost varies with material type, amount, and distance from the supplier, but as a ballpark example expect a typical single-car driveway (4-8 tons) to run roughly $300 to $800 delivered. Tailgate spreading, when available, is usually an added charge of about $50 to $200 and is performed at the driver’s discretion. Hello Gravel shows transparent pricing for your zip code at checkout, so request a quote to get an exact delivered price for your address.

Assuming a typical single-car driveway of about 12 ft by 40 ft (480 sq ft), you would need approximately: 2" depth = 4 tons (about 3 yd3); 3" depth = 6 tons (about 4.4 yd3); 4" depth = 8 tons (about 5.9 yd3). These are estimates using a common conversion of about 1.35 tons per cubic yard; actual tonnage can vary by material.

For driveways we recommend a compacted base: 3 to 4 inches of crushed stone base compacted before the final top layer helps prevent rutting and washouts. Use geotextile fabric (landscape fabric) when the subgrade is soft, wet, or has vegetation to reduce mixing and settling; it is less critical on firm, well-draining sites. Given West Tennessee soils and occasional heavy rains, proper compaction and attention to drainage will extend the life of a gravel driveway.

For driveways, common choices in the Soddy-Daisy area are 3/4" crushed stone or #57 stone for top layers, and crusher-run or 3/4" minus as a compacting base. For walkways and patios, pea gravel (3/8") or crushed fines work well; for decorative beds use river rock or larger sized stone. Regional sourcing means color and texture vary locally, so request photos or samples when possible.

Drivers typically use tri-axle dump trucks, so narrow gates, low-hanging branches, very steep driveways, or long, winding private roads can trigger access fees or require drop-off at the road. Expect potential extra charges for long push-ins, special drop locations, permit needs, or if tailgate spreading is requested. Add the minimum order requirement (Hello Gravel minimum is 3 tons) and confirm access notes at checkout to avoid surprises.

Permit and HOA requirements vary by neighborhood; some subdivisions or HOAs in the Soddy-Daisy/Hamilton County area require design approval or specific materials. The City of Soddy-Daisy or your HOA can confirm rules on driveway surfacing, setbacks, and curb cuts. We recommend checking with city zoning and your HOA before ordering so you meet any local standards.

Local suppliers and contractors commonly offer grading, compaction, weed barrier installation, edging, and tailgate spreading. Typical ballpark ranges are: grading and basic prep $0.50 to $1.50 per sq ft, compaction $0.10 to $0.50 per sq ft, weed barrier $0.30 to $0.75 per sq ft, and edging $3 to $8 per linear ft; tailgate spreading is often $50 to $200 per load. Prices vary with scope and site conditions, so request a written local quote through Hello Gravel for accurate pricing.

With proper base and drainage, a gravel driveway in the Soddy-Daisy area typically needs major replenishing every 3 to 7 years, while light top-ups or regrading are commonly done every 1 to 3 years. Heavy vehicle traffic, poor drainage, and winter storms shorten that cycle, while good compaction and periodic maintenance extend it. Suppliers and local contractors often offer maintenance services to keep surface levels and grades even.

Coverage depends on truck capacity and depth. Using 1 cubic yard = 27 cu ft, each cubic yard covers about 162 sq ft at 2", 108 sq ft at 3", and 81 sq ft at 4". So a 10 yd3 truck covers about 1,620 sq ft at 2" (1,080 sq ft at 3"; 810 sq ft at 4"); a 14 yd3 truck covers about 2,268 sq ft at 2" (1,512 sq ft at 3"; 1,134 sq ft at 4"); and a 16 yd3 truck covers about 2,592 sq ft at 2" (1,728 sq ft at 3"; 1,296 sq ft at 4").
