Gravel in South Fulton, TN

Hello Gravel’s platform has a 3-ton minimum order and delivers by local dump truck fleets (typically tri-axle). Standard delivery is 2+ business days; next-day delivery is sometimes available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Delivery costs and free-delivery availability depend on local supplier rates and your zip code, so check your address at checkout for exact pricing and timing.

For typical depths used in the area, a 1-car driveway (about 10 ft x 20 ft) needs roughly 3-5 tons at 4-6 inches of compacted gravel. A 2-car driveway (about 20 ft x 20 ft) usually requires about 7-10 tons, and a 3-car driveway (about 30 ft x 20 ft) needs about 10-16 tons. These are estimates—soil type, desired depth, and compaction in South Fulton’s clay soils can change totals, so use our material calculator or request a quote for a precise amount.

Crushed limestone (3/4"), pea gravel, and washed river rock are the most common choices in West Tennessee. Crushed limestone compacts well and is popular for driveways; pea gravel is decorative but shifts more under traffic; river rock is attractive but better for accents and drainage areas. Local suppliers reflect regional geology, so color and texture will vary by source.

West Tennessee’s hot summers and frequent rain can cause rutting and washouts, while occasional freeze-thaw cycles can loosen fines and create potholes. Expect to grade and add more gravel every 1-3 years in low-traffic areas, and more often where drainage is poor. Good drainage, periodic regrading, and topping up with new material extend driveway life in this climate.

For South Fulton’s clay-prone soils, we recommend geotextile fabric in combination with a compacted crushed-stone base rather than fabric alone. Install the fabric to separate soil from stone, then place and compact 4-6 inches of crushed base and finish with a 2-3 inch top layer of your chosen gravel. This combo improves drainage, reduces mixing with clay, and increases longevity.

Local contractor prices vary with site prep, driveway size, and soil conditions. Expect a rough range of $1,000 to $4,000 for typical residential driveways in the South Fulton area, or roughly $0.50 to $2.00 per square foot for basic gravel installations; heavy excavation, drainage work, or paving prep raises the price. Get multiple local quotes and ask suppliers on Hello Gravel for contractor recommendations if you need spreading and compaction included.

Drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion and if conditions and equipment allow, but this service is not guaranteed. Full spreading and compaction typically require a contractor with plate compactors or rollers; Hello Gravel can connect you with local haulers and contractors but recommend arranging dedicated installation services when you need compaction. Request tailgate spreading in Order Notes at checkout and plan for professional compaction when a stable base is required.

Yes—driveway work can be subject to city or county regulations, right-of-way rules, and drainage requirements. Contact South Fulton City Hall or Obion County public works to confirm curb-cut permits, setback rules, and any stormwater or rural road standards before you begin. Checking local requirements prevents surprises and ensures your driveway won’t need rework after installation.

Gravel has the lowest upfront cost and is easiest to repair but requires regular maintenance like grading and occasional replenishment. Asphalt gives a smoother surface and lower short-term maintenance but costs more initially and may soften in extreme summer heat; concrete lasts longest with the highest upfront cost and can crack with freeze-thaw if not well-installed. Choose based on budget, how much maintenance you want to do, and local drainage: for many South Fulton properties, gravel remains a practical, low-cost choice.

Stabilized gravel uses polymer or resin binders, or mixed fines, to lock particles together and reduce dust, rutting, and migration. These products are available through some regional suppliers and contractors; they cost more than loose gravel—plan on a premium of roughly 15% to 50% over standard gravel depending on the product and labor. Hello Gravel can check local supplier availability and provide quotes for stabilized blends or treated surfaces in your zip code.

Maintain drainage by keeping ditches and culverts clear, regrade low spots after heavy rain, and add 1-2 inches of fresh gravel every 1-3 years depending on traffic and washout. Compact new material after spreading and remove weeds promptly; for clay-prone areas consider adding more crushed stone to the base to prevent mixing with subsoil. Regular, small maintenance cycles are cheaper than major repairs.
