Decomposed Granite
Known for its natural look, this compact, durable material drains well and holds up in high-traffic areas.

Walkway Gravel
A smaller ⅜” crushed stone that is great for paths, patios, and garden walkways. Comfortable under foot thanks to its smaller size, and creates a beautiful garden-like atmosphere.
Road Base
(Class 5 | ABC | Crusher Run) A mixture of crushed limestone or granite, gravel, and sand, ranging from 1 ½” in size down to fines (small particles). Commonly used for constructing roads, driveway bases, parking lots, and other paved and unpaved surfaces. Intended to be compacted, hence the inclusion of fines within the material to provide support and be resistant to erosion and shifting.

Why Tellico Plains Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Tellico Plains has a population of 6,920 and is experiencing steady growth at 1.80% annually, creating ongoing demand for home repairs, driveways, and landscape upgrades. With a temperate climate that averages 228 sunny days and 34.25 inches of rain each year and sits in hardiness zone 8b, homeowners in the area often need materials that balance drainage, durability, and low maintenance. Gravel is a practical choice for many of these projects: it reduces erosion on sloped sites, provides stable, permeable driveways, and creates durable walkways that handle seasonal wetting and drying cycles. As new builds and renovations continue, local contractors and DIY homeowners alike look for reliable, regionally sourced aggregates that match the soil and weather patterns common to the area.Popular Projects in Tellico Plains This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Tellico Plains gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Tellico Plains.
Delivered gravel prices in Tellico Plains typically vary by material and supplier; expect roughly $35 to $75 per ton delivered, or about $45 to $95 per cubic yard as a rough range. Final price depends on the gravel type (pea gravel, crushed stone, crusher run), seasonal demand, and delivery distance, so get a quote for an exact delivered price.
A single tri-axle dump truck usually carries about 10 to 12 tons (roughly 7 to 9 cubic yards) of material. For a full truckload in the Tellico Plains area expect total costs (material plus delivery) in the range of about $400 to $1,200 depending on material type, local availability, and whether delivery fees apply; contact us for a precise quote.
Coverage depends on width and depth. For a 100 ft long by 10 ft wide driveway at a 4-inch depth you need roughly 12.3 cubic yards (about 16 tons), so one 10-12 ton tri-axle load will not be enough and you would typically need roughly one and a half loads. If you only need a 2-inch top coat, a single 10-12 ton load may cover the entire 100 ft by 10 ft driveway.
Two inches is generally too thin for a driveway that will see vehicle traffic; it works only as a light top dressing over a well-prepared base. For driveways in Tellico Plains we recommend 4 inches of compacted base for passenger vehicles and 4 to 6 inches where heavier loads or poor soils are expected; local rain and slope can increase the depth you should plan for.
A 20 ft by 10 ft driveway at 4 inches needs about 2.5 cubic yards (roughly 3 to 3.5 tons). Using typical delivered gravel prices the materials run around $90 to $220, delivery may be free or $50 to $150 in rural areas, and optional spreading/compaction labor can add $50 to $250; plan on a total ballpark of $200 to $600 and get local quotes for an exact installed price.
For small projects under the minimum order, local pickup from a supplier can be cheapest. For 3 tons or more, bulk delivery through a service like Hello Gravel is usually the most convenient and cost-effective; hire a local contractor only if you need base prep, compaction, or grading—those services add cost but can prevent future maintenance.
A 100 ft long by 10 ft wide driveway at 4 inches needs about 16 tons of gravel. Locally, one ton of typical gravel covers roughly 125 sq ft at 2 inches depth or about 62 sq ft at 4 inches depth (we use about 1.3 tons per cubic yard as a working rule of thumb).
Yes — options include crushed limestone or dense-graded aggregate with fines, recycled asphalt millings, and specialized stabilized or resin-bound gravel systems that lock particles together. Stabilized or resin-bound systems are more expensive, commonly 2 to 4 times the cost per square foot of loose gravel and may require specialized installers; check local suppliers for availability and pricing in the Tellico Plains area.
Gravel is almost always cheaper up front: typical installed gravel driveways often run about $1 to $3 per sq ft, while plain concrete can be $6 to $12 per sq ft or more depending on finish and local labor. Remember gravel requires periodic maintenance and occasional top-up while concrete has higher initial cost but lower routine upkeep; get local estimates to compare lifecycle costs for your site and usage.
Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons and standard delivery is 2 or more business days, with next-day delivery available for orders placed before noon CST (additional fee may apply). Many suppliers offer free delivery in nearby areas, but rural locations like Tellico Plains can have delivery fees (often $0 to $150) or scheduling delays; same-week delivery is often possible but depends on supplier stock and truck availability, so check your zip code and request a delivery window when ordering.
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.
