Quality Gravel
QUALITY GRAVEL IN MARYVILLE, TN
Stone sold as #57 measures approximately 3/4 to 1 inch, while #10 screenings run from approximately 3/8 inch down to dust, and that gap decides whether a surface drains, packs down, or rolls underfoot. Out of Eden Bulk Landscape Material sells quality gravel in Maryville, TN by the scoop: Gravel #10, Gravel #78, Gravel #57, Crush & Run, Gravel #4, and RipRap Filter Stone. Every load is 100% natural stone, and our family-owned yard has been filling trucks and trailers since 1999.
GRAVEL NUMBERS MATTER MORE THAN COLOR.
Two piles of gray stone can look identical from the cab and behave in opposite ways once tires roll across them. Sized stone such as #57 lets water fall straight through its gaps. Crush & Run carries its own fines, so it knits into a packed, walkable crust. Choose by the number first, and the color question mostly answers itself.
Our team asks what the gravel will hold up, whether a pickup, a patio chair, or a stream of runoff, and then points you to the size built for that load before a scoop leaves the pile.

- Sold and loaded by the scoop

QUALITY GRAVEL
EVERY GRAVEL SIZE HAS A JOB IT DOES BEST.
Joints around flagstone and pavers call for Gravel #10. Walkways get a finer crunch from Gravel #78. Driveways and the ground around pools belong to Gravel #57, which drains as well as it drives. Crush & Run packs into a base for driveways, patios, and paths. Gravel #4 gives a driveway backbone and filters water. RipRap Filter Stone, approximately 6 to 12 inch pieces, armors ditches and banks against erosion.
HEAVY TENNESSEE RAIN FINDS EVERY SOFT DRIVEWAY.
Maryville averages approximately 50 inches of rain a year, with some precipitation on approximately 128 days, according to BestPlaces. Water that sits on a driveway soaks into the red clay beneath it, and saturated clay lets stone sink until ruts appear. Bigger stone such as Gravel #4 at the bottom, with compacted Crush & Run or #57 above it, gives that rain a path down instead of a puddle to fill.
ASK US ABOUT GRAVEL, AND WE ASK WHAT IT CARRIES.
After 25+ years of loading gravel out of our Maryville yard, the most useful question we know is a simple one: what will drive, walk, or drain across this stone? A farm lane under a loaded truck wants a different number than a garden path under bare feet. Tell us the traffic, the slope, and where water heads after a storm, and we will match the scoop. Want help picking the number for your drive?
WHY CHOOSE US FOR QUALITY GRAVEL.
Sizes Matched To The Load
Every recommendation starts with what the surface has to carry. A walkway, a pool apron, and a gravel lane each want a different stone, and hearing which number fits before you buy saves a second delivery and a weekend of raking.
Straight Answers On Quantity
Measure the length, width, and depth you have in mind, and our staff turns those figures into scoops. Guessing on bulk stone costs time, because running short stalls a project and ordering far too much leaves a pile sitting on the lawn.
Trucks Built For Tight Drives
Single-axle trucks reach spots a tandem cannot, like a narrow gate, a steep lane, or a driveway squeezed between a mailbox and a ditch. Drivers scout the smartest drop point and always ask before backing onto wet ground.
Tailgate Dumping For Long Runs
On driveway orders, tailgate spreading is simply a way of dumping: the bed opens and the truck rolls forward, feeding stone out in a strip instead of one tall pile. That leaves far less shoveling, since the load already lies along the drive.
Pure Stone, Nothing Mixed In
What leaves the yard is 100% natural stone. There are no dyes, no fillers, and no crushed concrete stirred into the pile, so the gravel you rake next spring looks and behaves like the gravel you chose from the bin.
Pickup In A Couple Of Scoops
Trucks and trailers pull in, and our Bobcat S64 loads them with its big scoop in a couple of passes. Contractors and homeowners who haul their own gravel are back on the road quickly, ready for the next part of the job.
WHAT WE STOCK
OUR QUALITY GRAVEL RANGE
Six gravel products fill our bins, from fine screenings to stone bigger than a brick. Four of them are ready for pickup or delivery, while Gravel #4 and RipRap Filter Stone go out by delivery only.
SCREENINGS
Gravel #10
Screenings topping out at approximately 3/8 inch settle into the joints around flagstone and pavers, filling gaps that coarser stone would bridge. Swept into seams and tamped, this material firms up underfoot and gives stepping paths a clean, finished edge.
WALKWAYS
Gravel #78
Smaller than #57, this chip runs approximately 1/2 inch or less, which makes it comfortable for walkways and garden paths. It rakes level with little effort, drains after a shower, and crunches pleasantly on the way from the driveway to the back gate.
DRIVEWAYS
Gravel #57
Stones of approximately 3/4 to 1 inch lock together under tires while leaving open gaps for water, which explains why #57 turns up on so many driveways. It suits the ground around pools too, where splashed water needs a quick way down.
PACKED BASE
Crush & Run
A mixed cut of stone and fines, Crush & Run packs down over time into a surface that resists shifting. Driveways, patios, and walkways lean on it most, and it binds hardest when dampened and compacted in thin lifts, not one deep layer.
BIG STONE
Gravel #4
Offered by delivery only, Gravel #4 is the larger driveway gravel in our lineup. It carries daily traffic across clay, forms a strong lower layer beneath the surface stone, and handles drainage and filtering work where water has to move through quickly.
EROSION
RipRap Filter Stone
Delivered only, this approximately 6 to 12 inch stone armors ditches, culvert outlets, and banks where running water would otherwise carry soil away. Its size and weight keep it in position when a hard storm turns a drainage swale into a creek.
THE WORD ON OUR WORK
WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY.
Reviews of our gravel orders usually start with the drivers, who take their time finding a drop spot that suits the job. Contractors mention getting in and out of the yard in a couple of scoops, and homeowners mention staff who helped them settle on a gravel.
Common Questions
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS.
Depth, drainage, and stone size come up in nearly every gravel conversation at our counter. These questions arrive most often, answered plainly so you can decide before measuring the driveway.
What is the difference between #57 and #78 gravel?
Size is the main difference between them. Gravel #57 measures approximately 3/4 to 1 inch and suits driveways and drainage, while Gravel #78 is a smaller chip of approximately 1/2 inch or less that feels better underfoot on walkways.
What is crush and run used for?
Crush and run is a base and surface material for driveways, patios, and walkways. At Out of Eden Bulk Landscape Material in Maryville, TN, our Crush & Run mixes stone with fines, so it packs down into a firm layer.
What is the best gravel for a driveway?
Layered stone holds up longest on most driveways: a larger stone such as Gravel #4 underneath, then Gravel #57 or Crush & Run as the driving surface. Clay subsoil and loaded trucks both argue for a thicker coarse base.
How deep should driveway gravel be?
New gravel driveways typically need approximately 6 to 8 inches of total depth, made of an approximately 4-inch base layer and approximately 2 to 4 inches of surface stone. Refreshing an existing driveway usually takes far less material.
What gravel is best for drainage?
Clean stone without fines drains fastest, because water moves freely through the voids between pieces. Gravel #57 is the usual choice, and Gravel #4 handles heavier flows. Crush & Run is a poor pick, since its fines pack tight.
What is riprap used for?
Riprap protects soil from erosion where water runs hard, such as ditch banks, culvert outlets, and streambanks. Out of Eden Bulk Landscape Material delivers RipRap Filter Stone in an approximately 6 to 12 inch size across Maryville, TN.
How do I keep gravel from sinking into the dirt?
Start with a firm base. Strip loose topsoil, compact the subgrade, and roll out woven geotextile fabric before any stone goes down. Then use a coarse base stone with a finer, packing layer on top to share the load.
What is #10 gravel used for?
Gravel #10 is screenings, stone of approximately 3/8 inch down to dust, used around flagstone and pavers, in joints, and under stepping paths. Its fine particles compact tightly, so it stays put underfoot instead of rolling like rounder stone.
HOW WE WORK
FROM GRAVEL NUMBER TO DRIVEWAY DROP, HERE IS HOW.
STEP 01
Match The Number To The Surface
Describe the job to us: driveway, walkway, pool edge, or drainage ditch. We will point to the gravel number that fits the traffic and the water, and you can see the stone in our bins before deciding.
STEP 02
Measure And Count The Scoops
Take the length and width of the area and the depth you want, and share those figures with us. Our staff converts them into scoops, so the order covers the whole surface without leaving a leftover mound.
STEP 03
Get A Quote Built On Distance
Delivery is quoted on how far the truck travels, so your address goes into the quote along with the gravel and the scoop count. Homeowners and contractors hauling their own stone can skip that line entirely.
STEP 04
Lock In The Delivery Date
Most orders go out within a week, and Saturday runs are on the calendar too. When a storm would leave a muddy yard or a slick lane, we call to reschedule rather than risk ruts in your lawn.
STEP 05
Stake Out Room For The Truck
Move vehicles, trash cans, and anything else out of the truck's path, then mark where the pile should land. A flag, a cone, or a strip of tape on the ground tells the driver exactly where to aim.
STEP 06
Take The Load Dumped Or Loaded
Backing in, the truck dumps the gravel on your mark, or rolls forward with the tailgate open along a driveway. Picking up instead? Drive in, and a couple of loader passes fill your truck bed.
