One ton of typical crushed gravel is about 0.67 cubic yards (roughly 18 cubic feet). At a 2-inch depth that covers about 100 to 110 square feet, and at a 3-inch depth about 65 to 75 square feet. Use Hello Gravel’s material calculator or contact our team for a precise estimate based on the exact product and desired depth.

Because Hello Gravel sources materials regionally, color, texture, and particle mix can vary based on local geology, so the delivered product may not match photos exactly. You can add color or appearance notes at checkout and contact our team for guidance if a close match is important. If you need a sample or have specific expectations, we recommend discussing that before ordering.

Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, but this is not guaranteed and depends on truck access, driveway slope, and safety. You can request spreading at checkout; the driver will assess conditions on arrival and decide whether it can be done safely. For larger spreading jobs, consider hiring a local landscaper or contractor to finish the grading.

In some urban areas of Nashville, including parts of The Nations, street access, parking restrictions, or temporary no-parking permits can affect delivery. Check local rules or contact the Hello Gravel team before delivery if trucks will block a public street or driveway. Ensure a clear drop zone and communicate any access limitations in your order notes to help avoid delays.

For durable driveways in The Nations, a crushed stone base like 3/4u0022 crushed stone or #57 is commonly recommended for good compaction and load-bearing. For top layers, washed gravel or crushed fines for compaction works well; pea gravel is decorative but can shift under heavy traffic. Consider local conditions (rainfall and freeze-thaw), and contact our team for product recommendations tailored to your exact use.

Standard delivery is 2 or more business days from order, and next-day delivery may be available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. You can choose your preferred delivery date during checkout and we will confirm scheduling based on supplier and hauler availability. Keep in mind that access constraints or local permits can affect the delivery timeline.
