Gravel Delivery in Blount County: RCA Crusher Run and #57

You need aggregate for a driveway, a pad, drainage work, or a trench. You need it in Blount County. And you need it delivered without waiting weeks on a regional distributor.

Smoky Mountain Sand & Gravel makes recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) at our yard in Maryville and delivers it to Maryville, Alcoa, Townsend, Friendsville, and the rest of Blount County. Below: what we sell, what each product is for, and how much you need.

What We Sell

We sell two recycled concrete products. We do not sell virgin quarry stone.

RCA Crusher Run: All-Purpose Base

What it is: Crushed recycled concrete, 1 inch minus with fines.

Best for: Driveways, driveway base, building pads, parking areas, shed pads, trench backfill under traffic.

Why use it:

• The fines lock together when compacted, so it gets very hard
• Holds up well through East Tennessee freeze-thaw cycles
• Made from concrete diverted from the landfill
• Locally produced in Maryville, so short haul times

RCA #57: Clean Drainage Stone

What it is: Clean recycled concrete, about 3/4 to 1 inch, with no fines.

Best for: French drains, drainage behind retaining walls, pipe bedding, gravel beds where water needs to move.

Why use it:

• Open voids let water flow freely
• Angular pieces lock in place better than round gravel
• Does not need compaction to work as drainage

Pricing for both products: call (865) 999-0857 for current pricing. See aggregate for sale for product details.

Common Uses

Driveway base and surface. RCA crusher run at 4 to 6 inches compacted makes a solid base under asphalt or concrete, or a durable driveway surface on its own. See the RCA driveway guide.

Building and shed pads. RCA crusher run in compacted lifts gives you a flat, stable pad.

Drainage. RCA #57 for French drains, wall drainage zones, and pipe bedding. See drainage behind retaining walls.

Trench backfill. RCA crusher run under driveways and slabs where the trench needs to compact tight.

How to Order

1. Tell us about your project: dimensions, what you're building, timeline
2. We help size it: product and tonnage
3. Quote and schedule: we confirm pricing and a delivery date
4. Delivery: material arrives and gets dumped where you direct

For most jobs, one phone call is all it takes.

Pickup Option

If you have a truck or trailer, we load you at the yard. Hours are Monday through Friday 7 AM to 5 PM and Saturday 8 AM to noon.

Compaction note: RCA crusher run needs compaction to reach full strength. A plate compactor works for small areas; bigger jobs want a roller. RCA #57 does not need compaction for drainage work.

Tons vs. yards: figure roughly 1.4 to 1.5 tons per cubic yard of compacted crusher run. Our tons vs. cubic yards guide has the details.
