Stone in Jacksonville, AR

Expect typical crushed-stone prices in the Jacksonville/Little Rock area to fall roughly in the mid-$20s to mid-$50s per ton depending on size, type, and local quarry availability. Hello Gravel shows transparent pricing at checkout and may include delivery in many areas; fees apply for long hauls, small orders, or next-day requests. Our minimum order is 3 tons and next-day delivery requires ordering before noon CST (additional fee possible).

For most Jacksonville driveways a compacting crushed stone like 3/4" (often sold as #57) is the best all-purpose choice because it locks together and sheds water. Use a larger crushed stone (3/4"-1") as a compacted base and finish with #57 or 3/8" as a running surface for better traction. River rock looks nice but does not interlock and is usually not recommended where vehicle traction or compaction is needed.

For 1,000 sq ft, a 3-inch layer is about 9.26 cubic yards, which is roughly 13 tons of crushed stone. At 6 inches you double that to about 26 tons. Always order an extra 5-10% to account for compaction, spillage, and grading.

Yes, crushed stone performs well in West Arkansas when installed with proper base and drainage—it tolerates heat and is resistant to freeze-thaw damage compared with many pavers or asphalt edges. Heavy rains can cause washouts if edges and slopes are not stabilized, so grading, compaction, and good drainage are important. Expect some surface movement over time and plan for occasional top-up or regrading after intense storms.

Remove topsoil and organic material, grade and compact the subgrade, then install a nonwoven geotextile to separate soil from stone and reduce mixing with Arkansas clay. Place a compacted base of 4-6 inches of larger crushed stone for light-use driveways and 6-8 inches for heavier loads, then a 1.5-3 inch wearing layer of #57 or similar. Compact each layer and slope the driveway for drainage toward approved outlets.

Many quarries and suppliers serving the Jacksonville/Little Rock area offer a mix of screened, crushed, and washed stone, but availability varies by pit and season. Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and will note whether a material is washed or screened on the product page; if you need washed material for drainage or a cleaner look, add that request in Order Notes or ask our team. Expect slight color and texture variation because materials are regionally sourced.

Buying stone materials through Hello Gravel and doing the work yourself typically saves on labor costs, but you should account for delivery, equipment rental (skid steer, compactor), and your time. Professionals add costs for grading, compaction, and drainage work; that labor and equipment can add a significant portion to total project cost—often 30-60% over materials-only depending on site complexity. If you have steep slopes, drainage challenges, or need heavy equipment, a contractor is usually worth the extra cost.

Crushed stone is excellent for improving surface drainage because it allows water to pass through and reduces concentrated overland flow when used with proper grading and geotextile. On steep or erosion-prone slopes, combine angular stone, terracing, retaining elements, or riprap at concentrated flow points; stabilizing fabric and vegetation help prevent migration. For severe runoff locations, coordinate with a contractor or local stormwater rules before installation.

Regulations vary—some HOAs or city ordinances can restrict driveway surfacing, visibility at the curb, or require permits for grading and drainage work. Before installing stone, check Jacksonville city planning/permits and review your HOA covenants for surface and setback rules. If you need help, contact our team or your local planning office to confirm requirements for your address.

For driveways in and around Jacksonville, crushed stone is usually the best choice because its angular pieces interlock and compact for stability and good drainage. River rock is round and decorative but tends to move under traffic, making it better for beds, dry creek lines, or accents. Recycled stone can be cost-effective and environmentally friendly but varies in consistency; ask suppliers about grading and whether the recycled material is screened or contains fines.

We schedule deliveries with local haulers, typically using tri-axle dump trucks, and standard delivery takes 2+ business days with a next-day option if ordered before noon CST for an extra fee. Tailgate spreading may be available at the driver's discretion—request it at checkout but expect the driver to assess safety on arrival. Minimum order is 3 tons and regional sourcing means the exact color and texture of stone may vary from photos.

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