Gravel in Tullahoma, TN

A delivered tri-axle truck load in Tullahoma typically ranges from about $300 to $1,000 depending on gravel type (pea gravel, crushed stone, #57), load size, and delivery distance. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order; final price depends on the material you choose and any delivery or next-day fees. Contact our team or check your zip code for exact local rates.

One ton of gravel covers roughly 100 sq ft at a 2-inch depth, or about 50 sq ft at a 4-inch depth. Actual coverage varies by gravel type and compaction; use our material calculator or contact support for a precise estimate for your Tullahoma project.

Buying bulk delivered gravel through Hello Gravel is usually cheaper than bagged gravel from big-box stores because you pay per ton and avoid extra handling. For lower costs, choose locally sourced, common mixes (crusher-run or bank run), avoid specialty colored gravels, and schedule standard delivery rather than expedited service.

You can for low-traffic decorative areas, but for driveways and paths you should prepare a compacted base to prevent rutting and washout in West Tennessee's rainy seasons. Remove soft topsoil, compact the subgrade, add a 3-6 inch crushed base, and consider a geotextile fabric for added stability and drainage.

Costs vary by width and depth, but a typical 20 ft long by 10 ft wide driveway (200 sq ft) with a 4-inch compacted base may need about 4 tons of material. Expect material plus delivery and basic spreading to run roughly $200 to $800 in Tullahoma depending on stone type and whether you add spreading services.

No, 2 inches is generally too thin for a driveway. For a durable gravel driveway in Tullahoma you should have a 3-6 inch compacted base of crusher-run and then a 1-2 inch wearing layer on top for long-term performance.

A typical tri-axle dump truck in our network carries about 10-14 tons, which will cover roughly 1,000 to 1,400 sq ft at a 2-inch depth. Coverage changes with truck size, gravel density, and desired depth, so we provide delivery estimates when you enter your project dimensions on our site.

With proper base preparation, drainage, and periodic maintenance (grading and fresh top dressing), a gravel driveway can last 10 to 30 years. Heavy traffic, poor drainage, or lack of maintenance will shorten that lifespan, especially with West Tennessee's seasonal rains.

For a 40 ft long driveway, calculate area (length x width) and desired depth. For example, a 40 ft by 12 ft driveway at 4 inches depth is about 5.9 cubic yards, roughly 8 to 10 tons of gravel; use our calculator or contact Hello Gravel for a quick, exact quote.

Free gravel is rare and often comes with legal or quality risks; local road projects or contractors sometimes have excess material but you must get permission and arrange pickup. If cost is a concern, ask Hello Gravel about lower-cost local mixes or recycled options as a safer alternative.

Recycled crushed concrete or crusher-run (a mix of fines and stone) is often cheaper than decorative washed gravel and provides a stable base for driveways. Decomposed granite is another lower-cost option for walkways, but check suitability for your intended use and local availability in Tullahoma.

Rather than cost per linear foot, homeowners usually estimate by area. As a rough guide, a 100 ft long by 12 ft wide driveway (1,200 sq ft) with a 4-inch base may cost $1,000 to $5,000 total depending on stone type, delivery, and labor — which works out to about $8 to $40 per linear foot.

No, sharp sand is typically used under pavers, not under loose gravel. For gravel installations you want a compactable base such as crusher-run and optional geotextile fabric to improve stability and drainage in Tullahoma's humid climate.

Yes for driveways and high-traffic areas you should excavate topsoil, grade and compact the subgrade, and install a 3-6 inch compacted base before topping with gravel. For small decorative beds or pathways, minimal prep and a weed fabric can work, but proper excavation and compaction give the best long-term results.
