Stone in Austin, AR

Typical per-ton prices for common crushed stone in the Austin, AR area usually range from about $30 to $60 per ton delivered, depending on stone size and local supply. Many orders include free delivery in parts of West Arkansas, but delivery fees or fuel surcharges can apply in outlying areas; Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum and schedules standard delivery in 2+ business days. For a firm price, check your zip code on the site or request a quote because local suppliers set final rates.

For driveways, a 3/4" crushed stone like '57' makes a durable top layer and sheds water well, while a mixed-size material like '411' or stone screenings compacts into a firm base. For heavier-use rural roads, start with a larger crushed base (1" to 2" minus) for stability and follow with a 57 or 3/4" surface for traction and drainage. In West Arkansas' humid, sometimes wet climate, choose materials that drain easily and compact well to resist rutting.

Local suppliers typically require the 3-ton minimum that Hello Gravel lists and use tri-axle dump trucks for delivery. Delivery fees vary by distance from the quarry and access complexity; many customers in and near Austin get free or low-cost standard delivery, while remote or difficult-to-access sites may incur extra charges. Schedule changes and special requests like spreading should be made ASAP—suppliers will try to accommodate but fees and feasibility are at the hauler's discretion.

Measure the area in square feet and decide the compacted depth in inches, then convert to cubic yards: (square feet x depth in inches) / 324 = cubic yards. Multiply cubic yards by 1.3 to 1.5 to get tons (use 1.4 as a good general factor for crushed stone). For example, a 10 ft x 30 ft driveway at 4" depth is about 3.7 cubic yards, or roughly 5.2 tons, so you would order a minimum of 6 tons to allow for compaction and spreading.

Yes. Spring and late winter bring more rain in West Arkansas, which can delay deliveries and make spreading or compaction harder because wet stone doesn’t compact well. Summer storms can create short-term supply and scheduling disruptions, and local quarries sometimes adjust prices during high-demand construction season. To avoid weather-related delays, plan deliveries for drier periods and order material in advance, especially during spring and early summer.

Because Hello Gravel sources materials regionally, stone color and texture reflect West Arkansas geology and can vary between suppliers and quarry lots. Photos are representative but not exact matches; if appearance matters, add color or size notes in your order and ask our team for a supplier-specific photo where possible. Expect natural variation rather than a factory-perfect match.

Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, but Hello Gravel does not guarantee spreading services. Request spreading at checkout and the driver will assess safety and accessibility on arrival; if the driver cannot spread, they will dump material and you will need to arrange manual or equipment spreading. For large jobs, consider hiring local equipment or a contractor to ensure proper grading and compaction.

For drainage and erosion control use larger, open-graded stone such as 1" to 2" crushed stone or washed rock that allows water to pass through without clogging. For French drains, clean washed gravel (typically 3/4") is commonly used because it prevents fine soil from entering while maintaining flow. Local suppliers can recommend washed vs. unwashed products based on the exact application and local soils in the Austin area.

As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

We cannot get out of the truck and manually spread it. However, depending on the location, safety, and comfortability of the driver – we may be able to tailgate spread your material. This involves pulling the truck forward as material is being dumped to make it easier for you to distribute material after delivery.

The minimum order size is 3 tons.
