Expect a common minimum order of 3 tons (our platform minimum) and delivery by tri-axle dump truck; delivery fees vary by distance and site access but free delivery is available in many areas. If you need supplier names or exact fees, check your zip code on our site or contact our team for local options and quotes.

For driveways and parking pads in Fort Smith, a compactable base of crusher-run (or limestone screenings) topped with #57 or 3/4" crushed stone offers the best balance of stability and drainage. Pea gravel is attractive for low-traffic landscape areas but is not ideal for driveways because it shifts under vehicle loads. Proper base preparation and drainage are more important than the exact stone type given the local rain and freeze-thaw cycles.

Costs vary by scope: simple resurfacing is much less than a full rebuild with excavation and geotextile. As a guideline, expect roughly $2-$8 per square foot for full-service installation (excavation, base, compaction, grading), with a typical 2-car driveway often falling between $1,200 and $5,000 depending on site conditions. Get local contractor bids and factor in drainage fixes or permit work that can increase cost.

Calculate volume first: area (sq ft) x depth (ft) ÷ 27 = cubic yards, then multiply cubic yards by about 1.4 to convert to tons (typical local density). Examples: a 2-car driveway 20'x24' at 4" needs about 8-9 tons; at 6" it needs about 12-13 tons. A 10'x20' parking pad at 4" needs about 3.5 tons, and 1,000 sq ft at 2" depth needs about 8.6 tons; remember Hello Gravel minimum orders start at 3 tons.

For most residential driveways in Fort Smith, install 4-6 inches of compacted crusher-run as a base, topped with 2-3 inches of #57 or similar wearing stone for a stable surface. Rural roads or heavier-traffic drives generally need 6-12 inches of compacted base, proper grading, and edge containment. On soft or clay soils common in the region, add geotextile fabric and extra base thickness to improve drainage and reduce rutting.

Routine maintenance—light regrading and pothole repair—is commonly needed once a year, especially after heavy rains. Most homeowners add a refresh of 1-2 inches of new stone every 3-5 years depending on traffic; a well-built driveway can function for many years but will require periodic top-ups. Address drainage, vegetation, and washouts promptly to extend lifespan and reduce regrading frequency.

Permit and HOA requirements vary by location: Fort Smith city, Sebastian County, and individual HOAs may have rules about driveway material, curb cuts, and connections to public roads. Before work, check with Fort Smith Public Works or Sebastian County roads department and review your HOA covenants if applicable. If in doubt, contact our team and we can advise common local steps and suggest when to contact municipal offices.

Magnesium chloride sprays are commonly used and can reduce dust effectively for 1-3 years, but they require reapplication and may affect nearby plants or metal surfaces. Polymer or resin-based binders give longer-lasting stabilization and help reduce grading frequency, but they cost more up front. Expect mag chloride treatments to be lower cost per application and polymer stabilizers to run higher per square foot; request local contractor pricing for exact estimates and compatibility with your stone type.

Gravel has the lowest upfront material and installation cost and drains well, which is useful in Fort Smith’s rainy climate, but it requires more regular maintenance and periodic top-ups. Asphalt offers a smoother, lower-maintenance surface for moderate cost but can crack in freeze-thaw conditions and may need periodic sealcoating. Pavers give the most durability and aesthetics with the highest initial cost; choose based on budget, maintenance tolerance, and desired look.

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