Gravel Delivery · Franklin, TN

Crushed Stone and Gravel by the Load

Mid South Mulch runs gravel delivery out of our yard at 430 Lewisburg Pike in Franklin, TN. Loads go out on our own dump trucks: crushed stone, washed stone, pea gravel and river rock. Crushed stone goes under drives and pads, and the rounded stone goes in beds and on paths. You can also pull in with a pickup or a trailer, and we will load you at the yard. Stock changes week to week, so call (615) 599-7550 and ask what is in the yard.

The company has worked out of Franklin since 1996, and the trucks and machines are ours. We load, haul, dump and spread with our own dump trucks, excavators, a track loader and compaction equipment. Tell us the material, the yardage and the drop spot, and the driver gets as close as the ground allows. Building or regrading a whole gravel drive is a different job, and that goes to our grading crew.

What comes with a gravel delivery?

A delivery is a dump truck load of stone from our yard at 430 Lewisburg Pike in Franklin. We load it, haul it and put it where you point. Tell us the material and the yardage when you call, and tell us the drop spot. If you would rather haul it yourself, we load pickups and trailers at the yard.

Stock changes week to week, so call (615) 599-7550 and ask what is in the yard. Our crew can also spread the load instead of leaving it in a pile. That means a drive top dressed, a shed pad leveled or a garden path filled in. The same trucks carry topsoil and fill dirt by the load and bulk mulch for the beds.

Which gravel is right for the job?

Around here the stone is limestone. Every crushed stone source on TDOT's Region 3 list, which covers Middle Tennessee, is a limestone source. After that it comes down to fines, the stone dust that lets a load pack down. Crusher run is crushed stone with its fines left in, so it packs hard under a drive or pavers.

Washed stone is the opposite: TDOT sizes No. 57 from 1 inch down to the No. 4 sieve. With no fines in it, water drains straight through, which is why it fills drain trenches. FHWA's gravel roads guide says a base gravel with few fines will not form a crust. A driving surface needs 4 to 15 percent fines to bind, so clean stone alone rides loose.

How much gravel do I need, and what does a load cost?

Measure the area in square feet, pick a depth, multiply the two, then divide by 324. One cubic yard covers about 162 square feet at 2 inches, 108 at 3 inches and 81 at 4 inches. Those are loose numbers, and crushed stone packs down, so a base gets ordered a little heavy. A 10 by 10 foot hot tub pad at 4 inches deep works out to about 1.2 cubic yards. Gravel runs about 1.4 tons per cubic yard, so that pad is close to 1.7 tons.

HomeGuide's 2026 gravel guide puts gravel at $10 to $50 per ton, or $15 to $75 per cubic yard. In that guide crusher run runs $24 to $34 per ton and crushed limestone $30 to $38. A Maury County supply yard's published 2025 list shows crusher run at $44 per cubic yard. Those are market numbers, not our price, and the full-drive math lives in our gravel driveway cost guide.

Where the truck dumps, and who spreads it

The driver needs a clear run at the spot and firm ground to sit on. Gates, culverts, septic fields, low limbs and overhead lines all change where a loaded truck can go. Soft ground after a wet week is the usual problem, so we look before we back in. When the drop has to sit away from the work, our crew moves it with the track loader.

A drop leaves the stone in one pile, and a spread leaves it raked out and even. On a drive we can top dress a thin layer over what is already down. Our landscaping crew sets stone patios and fire pit pads on a compacted base. Loads run out of Franklin the same way to gravel delivery in Spring Hill and the towns around it.

FAQ

Gravel Delivery Questions, Answered

Common questions about gravel delivery across Williamson & Rutherford counties, south of Nashville. Don't see yours? Give us a call — we're happy to help.

Call (615) 599-7550

How much does a truckload of gravel cost in Franklin?
It depends on the material and how many cubic yards ride on the truck. HomeGuide's 2026 guide puts gravel at $10 to $50 per ton, or $15 to $75 per cubic yard. The same guide puts a delivered and spread truck load at $1,350 and up. Those are national market ranges, not our price. Call (615) 599-7550 and we will price the load.
How much does a ton or a yard of gravel cover?
One cubic yard covers about 162 square feet at 2 inches deep, 108 at 3 inches and 81 at 4. The math is square feet times depth in inches, divided by 324. Gravel weighs about 1.4 tons per cubic yard. Spread 2 inches deep, one ton covers 80 to 100 square feet. Give us the measurements and we will size the load for you.
What is crusher run, and how is it different from #57?
Crusher run is crushed limestone with its fines left in, so it packs down into a hard base. TDOT calls that kind of material crusher or pit run. Washed #57 is sized from 1 inch down to the No. 4 sieve with the fines screened out, so it drains. Fines are the whole difference: a driving surface needs 4 to 15 percent of them to bind.
Can I pick gravel up at the yard instead?
Yes. Bring a pickup or a trailer to 430 Lewisburg Pike in Franklin and we will load you. Call (615) 599-7550 first and ask what is in the yard, because stock changes week to week. Tell us what you are building and we will point you at the right material. When the load is more than your truck can carry, we bring it.
Do you dump the load or spread it?
Either one. A drop leaves the stone in a pile where you want it, and that is the cheaper option. Our crew can also spread it, which on a driveway means a thin even layer over what is already down. HomeGuide puts spreading labor at $10 to $25 per cubic yard. Rebuilding or regrading a whole drive is grading work, not a delivery.
What towns do you deliver gravel to?
Franklin, Brentwood, Spring Hill, Nolensville, Thompson's Station, College Grove, Arrington, Leiper's Fork and Fairview in Williamson County. We also run to Smyrna, La Vergne and Eagleville in Rutherford County. Our trucks work south of Nashville, across those two counties. Tell us the address when you call and we will tell you what the run looks like.
What stone goes in a French drain or under pavers?
Washed angular stone, not rounded pea gravel. A French drain trench takes clean #57 so water moves through the rock instead of around it. Under pavers the order flips: a compacted crusher run base first, then a thin bedding layer, then the pavers. Rounded stone shifts under load, which is why it stays in beds and on paths.
