Buy Gravel & Rock in Tennessee

Many people order gravel or rock for a Tennessee project without thinking about how the material will perform under the load or in the weather. The most common mistake is picking a decorative size when a compactable base is what the job needs. The correction is to split your order into a base layer that locks together and a finish layer that looks the way you want.

Gravel Monkey delivers gravel and rock throughout Tennessee by the ton. You choose the sizes online, and a dump truck brings them to your address. The quote includes delivery based on your ZIP code.

Gravel and Rock Options for Tennessee Projects

Base materials like Crusher Run and Road Base compact into a solid foundation. Finish materials like River Rock and Pea Gravel stay loose for appearance and drainage. The table below lists every product we offer and what it does best.

Choosing the Right Material for Your Project

Every project has a budget option and a long-term option. The table below matches common jobs with the product that gives the best value over time.

How Tennessee's Weather Affects Your Choice of Gravel and Rock

Annual precipitation across the cities we deliver to in Tennessee runs from about 48 to 60 inches. That rain means any surface without good drainage will hold water. Using a compacted base like Crusher Run under a decorative layer lets the water move through instead of pooling. Winters here are cold enough to move an unsettled base, so compaction is worth the extra pass.

Freezing days range from about 74 to 94 days a year below 32F, depending on where in the state. Freeze-thaw cycles can heave a poorly compacted base. Most of the state sits in the moderate band for ground freezing, so a 4-inch base under driveways and paths handles the movement. The soil across the served cities falls mostly in hydrologic groups B and C, which drain at a medium rate. That means base depth matters more than it would in sandy soil. A thicker base protects against frost heave in these soils.

Estimating the Tonnage of Gravel and Rock You Need

To figure out how many tons to order, measure the length and width of the area in feet, multiply by the depth in inches, then divide by 12 to get cubic feet. Divide that number by 27 to get cubic yards. One ton of gravel or rock covers about 100 square feet at 2 inches deep. Use our material calculators to get an exact tonnage for your project dimensions.

Frequently Asked Questions about Gravel and Rock in Tennessee

What conditions across Tennessee should change what I order?

Tennessee gets 48 to 60 inches of rain a year across the cities we serve. Areas with heavy rainfall need a compacted base and a permeable surface layer. The number of freezing days ranges from 74 to 94, so base depth matters more where the ground freezes often.

Do seasonal road restrictions in Tennessee affect delivery?

Tennessee has a spring load-restriction program for certain roads when the ground thaws. Our network of local suppliers knows the current restrictions and routes around them. Your delivery date is set at least 3 business days out, which gives us time to check for any road limits along the route.

What sizes of gravel and rock are available?

We carry sizes from 3/8 inch pea gravel up to 2-4 inch river rock. Each product page shows the typical stone size and shape. Crusher Run and Road Base contain a mix of sizes plus fines for compaction.

Is there a first-order discount?

Yes. Use the code FIRSTTIMER50 at checkout to save $50 on your first order. The code applies to any material delivered within Tennessee.
