For Wartrace's clay/loam soils, a layered approach works best: start with a compacted base of 3/4" crushed stone or crusher-run (angular, compacting material) and finish with 3/8" to 1/2" crushed stone or #57 stone for a stable wearing surface. Avoid only pea gravel on clay because it shifts and ruts more easily in wet conditions. Proper grading and drainage are essential to keep clay soils from causing washouts and settling.

For a 12 x 40 ft driveway (480 sq ft), you will typically need about 6 tons for a 3" depth or about 8 tons for a 4" depth of compacted crushed stone. Use the rule: cubic yards = (sq ft x depth in inches) / 324, then multiply cubic yards by about 1.3 tons per cubic yard to get tons. Remember Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum; order a bit extra to allow for compaction and grading.

A well-built gravel driveway in Wartrace can last 5 to 15 years before needing major replenishment, but that depends on traffic, drainage, and maintenance. West Tennessee's humid climate and heavy rains can cause rutting and washouts if drainage is poor, so good base construction and regular grading extend lifespan. Expect to add surface gravel and regrade every few years depending on use and storms.

Yes, geotextile fabric is recommended in many Wartrace installations, especially over soft clay or loam and wet spots, because it separates the subgrade from the gravel and reduces mixing that leads to rutting. Fabric helps stabilize the base and improves load distribution, which is helpful for driveways and access roads in rural Tennessee. It is not always required, but it often pays off by reducing long-term maintenance.

Gravel has a much lower upfront material and installation cost than asphalt, making it a common choice for rural driveways around Wartrace, but it requires more frequent maintenance. Asphalt costs more initially but typically needs less regular surface replenishment; over many years the lifecycle costs can narrow depending on traffic and upkeep. Get estimates for both options for your exact driveway size and check local material and paving rates.

For slope stabilization and drainage near Wartrace, use larger, angular rock such as 1" to 2" crushed stone or riprap-sized rock in channels and high-flow areas to resist movement. Combine rock with vegetation, check dams, or terraces for long-term erosion control on clay/loam soils. If the slope channels water, consider a trench filled with 1"-2" rock or perforated pipe surrounded by stone to direct runoff safely.

Expect light maintenance like grading and filling ruts once or twice a year, and adding a 1" to 2" lift of fresh gravel every 1 to 3 years depending on traffic and storms. Typical material plus delivery for a modest refresh might run a few hundred dollars for a small driveway and several hundred to a few thousand for longer driveways; exact costs vary by material type and distance. Good drainage practices and occasional compacting reduce how often you need to add gravel.

Permit and HOA rules vary: Wartrace is a small town in Bedford County, so check with Wartrace town hall or Bedford County zoning for any local driveway or right-of-way requirements before starting work. If you belong to an HOA, review its covenants as some HOAs restrict gravel driveways or require specific materials and finishes. When in doubt, contact the municipal office or your HOA and ask Hello Gravel for delivery guidance based on your address.

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