Hello Gravel works with local suppliers to provide a per-ton quote for Unionville; we require a 3-ton minimum and delivery timing can affect price. For an exact number, check your zip code on our site or contact our team at 855-241-8884 for a local quote.

Crushed stone (like crusher run) is usually less expensive per ton than decorative river rock or washed pea gravel because it is more common and produced for base material. Crushed stone also compacts better for driveways, while decorative gravel is chosen for appearance and may cost more to deliver to a rural Unionville address.

You can place gravel over dirt, but it usually performs poorly without preparation. Remove vegetation, grade and compact the soil, install geotextile fabric if drainage or soft clay is an issue, and add a 4-6 inch crushed stone base with a thinner topcoat of finish gravel for longevity in West Tennessee conditions.

Coverage varies by stone size and depth, but a good rule is 1 ton of typical 3/4" crushed stone will cover about 80 to 100 square feet at a 2-inch depth. For thicker driveway bases or larger stone, plan on less coverage per ton; use our material calculator for an exact amount for your Unionville project.

Two inches is only enough for a finish layer or foot traffic areas; it is not sufficient as the full base for a vehicle driveway. For a stable driveway in Unionville you should have a compacted 4-6 inch base of crusher run or crushed stone, plus a 2-3 inch topcoat of finish gravel if desired.

Cost depends on driveway width, depth, and gravel type. Estimate area (length x width), decide on base depth (typically 4-6 inches), convert to cubic yards or tons, then request a Hello Gravel quote for material plus delivery; contact our team for a quick cost estimate for a 20-foot driveway in your zip code.

Gravel alone does not harden like concrete, but compactable mixes with fines (crusher run) or products labeled as 'stabilized' or 'polymer-bound' gravel create a firmer surface. For a concrete-like result in Unionville, consider a binder-stabilized system or a properly compacted crusher run base with a finishing product designed for stabilization.

Most tri-axle dump trucks used by our network deliver about 12 to 15 tons per load, though smaller local trucks may carry less. Hello Gravel shows the delivery options at checkout; remember our minimum order is 3 tons and we will confirm truck size and scheduling when you place your order.

Sharp sand is not typically recommended under gravel; it is more appropriate under pavers. For Unionville properties with clay or poor drainage, a layer of compacted crushed stone and a geotextile fabric are better choices to stabilize the base and improve drainage.

Yes, if you place gravel directly on soft or clay soils it can sink and mix over time, causing rutting. Use geotextile fabric and a thicker crushers-run base to separate the gravel from soil and reduce mixing, especially after heavy rain in West Tennessee.

Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, but spreading is not guaranteed and depends on site access and safety. Request spreading at checkout and our driver will assess on arrival; for larger spreading jobs hire a local contractor or request additional services through our customer team.

For rural driveways in Unionville, a layered approach works best: 4-6 inches of crusher run or crushed stone as a compacted base, topped with 1-2 inches of 3/4" crushed stone or a decorative topcoat. This combination handles local weather and clay soils better than a single loose gravel layer.

You can often drive on a compacted base the same day if the material is properly spread and compacted, but loose topcoat gravel should be allowed to settle and be rolled or compacted. When possible, wait 24 hours and compact the surface; rain or muddy conditions in West Tennessee may require longer before regular use.

Contact Hello Gravel as soon as possible by phone or through your order confirmation; changes are easier before the order is processed and dispatched.

As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

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.
