Buy Fill Dirt in Old Hickory, TN

If you are grading a lot, raising a pad or building beds, gravel and aggregate delivery in Old Hickory, TN starts with the right base material. Tennessee Rock Supply delivers bulk loads across Davidson County. Most drives here go down over crusher run, because the fines lock up and the surface stays put on clay.

Ground in the Central Basin is thin over limestone, so a pad usually needs fill before anything else. That is why soil and fill usually come first on Old Hickory jobs.

Materials for Old Hickory Projects

Start with fill if your grade is low. Fill Dirt builds up a pad before a base course goes down, and it is how most sites here get out of the mud.

Then cap it. Top Soil is screened topsoil for lawn and bed prep over heavy clay and thin, rocky ground. Garden Soil goes in raised beds and planting areas where roots need looser ground. Shredded Mulch holds moisture in beds and tree rings through hot summers.

Below the soil line, crusher run is the standard Tennessee driveway and base stone. Crushed stone with the fines left in, it compacts into a hard, stable surface for drives, parking pads and barn pads.

Heavier work calls for mineral aggregate base.

Washed stone handles water: #57 stone and #67 stone for drainage and French drains, and drain rock for downspout runs and behind retaining walls. Sand rounds out the order. Mason sand for brick and block work and paver joints, washed sand for bedding and leveling under slabs.

Ground and Conditions in Old Hickory

Rain is the driver here. Thin soil over solid limestone holds little water, so heavy storms run off fast and creeks rise quickly. Openings in the rock carry some runoff underground, which is why a wet spot can appear where you did not plan for one.

That runoff scours creek banks and strips thin soil from slopes, especially on the hills around the rim of the basin. Plan a drainage layer rather than hoping the ground absorbs it. #57 stone or drain rock in a trench moves water to a controlled outlet.

Clay is the other half of the story. Wet clay will not compact, so a base placed on saturated ground pumps and fails. Build crusher run in lifts and compact each one.

Winter and spring are the wettest seasons, and strong storms can bring flash flooding. Wet clay and high water delay jobs more often than frost does. Frost stays shallow here, so base depth is about drainage and load, not depth of freeze.

Delivery to Old Hickory and the Surrounding Area

Order online and pick your material and quantity. Bulk material arrives by the ton or by the yard, and the calculator sizes the load so you are not short mid-job. If you are unsure between crusher run and mineral aggregate base, size it by what the surface has to carry.

Have the drop spot clear before the truck arrives. A firm, level area near the work keeps the load where you want it, and a clear path keeps the driver from waiting.

We deliver through Old Hickory and the rest of Davidson County, including Goodlettsville, Nashville, Antioch, Hermitage and Joelton. Steep or soft access is worth mentioning when you order.

Questions Old Hickory Buyers Ask

What stone should I use for drainage in Old Hickory?

Washed stone, not crusher run. #57 stone and #67 stone are the usual picks for French drains and drainage beds, and drain rock works for downspout runs and behind retaining walls. Washed stone has no fines, so water moves through it instead of pooling. Run it to a controlled outlet.
