Order Gravel, Stone and Soil in Clarksville, TN

What should you order for a project in Clarksville? That depends on the job in front of you. Tennessee Rock Supply sells gravel and aggregate delivery in Clarksville, TN, and the answer usually starts with crusher run. It is crushed stone with the fines left in, so it packs down hard. Cherty clay sits under a lot of this ground, and crusher run is what holds up on top of it.

Materials for Clarksville Projects

Decorative stone is where most homeowners start, and it is the easiest place to get the size wrong. Order by what the stone does, not by what it looks like in a photo.

• River Rock for decorative beds, borders and dry creek beds. It moves water without washing out.
• Large River Rock for dry creek beds and heavier erosion work where runoff runs hard.
• 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel for play areas, walkways and pipe bedding.
• Shredded Mulch for beds and tree rings, holding moisture through hot summers.
• Top Soil for lawn and bed prep over heavy clay and thin, rocky ground.

For a driveway, the base is the whole job. Start with Crusher Run, then top it with Driveway Gravel once the base is compacted. Where a road or lot base is specified.

Around a patio or a drain, work from the bedding up. Use Screenings under pavers and flagstone, and Washed Sand for leveling and bedding under slabs. For a French drain or a downspout run, Drain Rock and #57 Stone both pass water well, and RipRap armors a ditch or culvert outlet.

Ground and Conditions in Clarksville

This part of the Highland Rim runs on cherty clay over limestone and chert bedrock, and chert fragments turn up in almost every hole you dig. That clay is the reason so many under-built bases fail. It holds water after rain, softens, and lets the stone above it pump and rut.

Excavate deep enough that your crusher run or graded base sits on firm ground, and compact it in lifts rather than one thick layer. If the subgrade stays wet, a drainage layer of #57 stone or Drain Rock below the base keeps water from sitting under it.

Sinkholes and sinking streams carry runoff underground where limestone lies close below. On the steeper, dissected ground in the west, storm runoff cuts into cleared hillsides and road ditches, and creek banks scour after heavy rain. That is where RipRap and large river rock earn their place.

Time your base work around the weather. Winter and spring are the wettest seasons here, and saturated clay delays compaction far more often than frozen ground does. Frost stays shallow, so shallow footing depth is set by the local building department, not by deep frost.

Delivery to Clarksville and the Surrounding Area

Order online and pick your quantity before you check out. Bulk stone, sand and soil sell by the ton or by the cubic yard, and the product page lists the unit so you can match it to your measurements. If you are unsure, order a little over rather than a little under; a short load costs you a second delivery.

Tennessee Rock Supply delivers bulk loads to job sites across Clarksville and Montgomery County, including Cunningham, Palmyra, Southside and Woodlawn. Tell us where the truck can back in and where you want the pile dropped, and we will place it close to the work.
