Gravel and Aggregate Delivery in Millington, TN

If you are building a driveway, setting a patio base, or prepping a lawn, gravel and aggregate delivery in Millington, TN starts with the right stone. Tennessee Rock Supply sells crusher run, washed stone, sand, and soil in bulk. The silt and clay ground here is heavy, so what you put on top matters as much as how you compact it.

Each bulk material behaves differently on Shelby County's silty loess, so match the stone to the ground before you order.

Materials for Millington Projects

Soil and fill do the grading and bed prep that everything else sits on. Strip the old sod, shape the grade, and build it back with screened topsoil so grass and beds have something to root into. For raised beds and planting areas, garden soil holds moisture and drains better than raw dirt. Where you need to raise a pad or lift a low spot before a base course goes down, fill dirt gets you to grade in bulk.

On top of that, base and washed stone carry the traffic. Crusher run is the standard Tennessee driveway stone, crushed rock with the fines left in so it compacts hard. Mineral aggregate base, also specified as Grading D, is graded base stone for roads, lots, and heavier pads. #57 stone and #67 stone handle drainage, French drains, and concrete work. Screenings, also called #10 screenings or stone dust, bed pavers and flagstone and level under patios.

Sand and decorative stone finish the job. Mason sand sets brick and block and fills paver joints; washed sand beds and levels under slabs. Natural Pea Gravel suits play areas and walkways, while river rock and large river rock build dry creek beds and borders.

Ground and Conditions in Millington

Water drives most of the decisions here. Wide, flat creek and river bottoms flood and stay wet after heavy rain, and a lot of upland silt soils have a dense subsoil layer that slows water soaking in. That means your drainage has to move water away, not just store it.

Plan for it. A driveway over wet silt needs a compacted base with enough depth to bridge soft spots, and a drainage run should end somewhere water can leave. Drain rock and #4 crushed stone work well in French drains, downspout runs, and trench bottoms.

Loess and loose Coastal Plain sand also wash out fast on bare slopes, cutting gullies and filling ditches with silt. Rip rap armors creek banks, ditch lines, and culvert outlets against that runoff. Winter and spring bring the most rain, so wet ground delays grading and base work more often than frozen ground does. Frost stays shallow, but footings still go at least 12 inches below grade.

Delivery to Millington and the Surrounding Area

You order online and we haul it in by the ton or the cubic yard. Bulk loads arrive on a dump truck and get tipped where you want them, so pick a spot that will not block the street or bury the water meter.

Have the drop zone clear before the truck shows up. A tarp or plywood pad keeps a soil pile clean if it sits a while, and a spot close to the work saves you a lot of wheelbarrow trips. Millington sits in Shelby County, and we deliver to Memphis, Collierville, Germantown, Arlington, and Cordova as well.

Questions About Ordering in Millington

Can I order material by the ton for delivery in Millington?

Yes. Bulk gravel, stone, sand, and soil are sold by the ton, and the online calculator sizes your load once you enter the area and depth you are covering. Order online and a dump truck delivers to your site in Millington. If you are unsure how much you need, measure the length and width in feet, decide the depth in inches, and let the calculator do the math.

What stone should I use for drainage in Millington?

Washed stone, because the fines are gone and water moves through it. #57 stone and #67 stone are the common picks for French drains and downspout runs. For heavier flow, use #4 crushed stone or drain rock in the trench bottom. Line the trench with filter fabric and keep silt out, or the drain will clog. Rip rap handles ditch and culvert outlets.
