Gravel in Houston, AR

Prices vary by gravel type, local supplier, and delivery distance, so there is no single fixed price for a cubic yard. A helpful way to get an accurate number is to check our zip-code pricing on Hello Gravel or request a quote for your Houston, AR address; remember regional sourcing can affect color and texture. Keep in mind our minimum order is 3 tons and delivery fees may apply depending on access and distance.

For durability choose angular, crushed stone such as crushed limestone, crushed granite, or trap rock, which lock together when compacted and resist shifting. In West Arkansas many suppliers offer crushed limestone or granite that work well for driveways and high-traffic areas. If you expect heavy trucks, increase base depth and use larger base stone under a finer surface gravel.

Hello Gravel coordinates delivery by contracted dump trucks (typically tri-axle), and a full truck commonly carries about 10 to 15 tons depending on truck type. Delivery cost depends on tonnage, distance from the supplier, site access, and any special services; get a quote for an exact price for Houston, AR. Standard delivery takes 2+ business days and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee.

Two inches of loose gravel is not usually enough for a driveway; it will shift and rut quickly under vehicle traffic. For a stable driveway in Houston's clay-influenced soils, aim for 4 to 6 inches of compacted gravel over a well-prepared base, and increase depth where heavier vehicles will park or turn. Adding a compacted base layer of crusher run beneath the surface gravel helps drainage and longevity.

You can put gravel over dirt for a quick fix, but it is not recommended for a lasting surface because dirt and clay allow water to pool and cause rutting. For a durable result, remove vegetation, grade and compact the subgrade, add a layer of geotextile fabric if desired, then install 4+ inches of compacted base material followed by surface gravel. This approach is especially important in Houston, AR where local clay soils and heavy rain events can lead to settling.

Calculate cubic yards using: (area in square feet x depth in inches) / 324. For example, a 20 ft by 20 ft driveway at 4 inches deep is 400 sqft x 4 / 324, which is about 5 cubic yards; multiply cubic yards by your local price per yard or convert to tons (about 1.2 to 1.6 tons per cubic yard for gravel) to estimate tonnage. For an accurate cost for Houston, AR, enter your zip code on Hello Gravel or request a quote that includes delivery and any site fees.

Start with a compacted subgrade and install a 3/4" minus crushed base (often called crusher run) compacted to form a solid foundation, then add your surface gravel. Use geotextile fabric where needed to separate soil from stone and reduce weed growth and mixing, and install edge restraints to keep gravel contained. These steps are especially helpful in Houston, AR to manage seasonal wet conditions and clay soils.
