For driveways in West Arkansas, crushed limestone is a top choice because it locks together and compacts well for stability. Pea gravel looks nice but shifts and ruts under vehicle traffic, so it is better for walkways and decorative areas. River rock and large round stones are not recommended for driveways because they roll and do not compact well.

Yes. Henderson’s humid climate and frequent rain mean drainage and compaction matter: standing water can wash fines away and cause rutting. Freeze-thaw cycles in West Arkansas are milder than in northern states but can still cause heaving where water collects, so slope, drainage, and a well-compacted base help longevity. Adding proper edge restraints and routine grading after heavy storms will reduce problems.

A 24x40 driveway is 960 square feet. At a 4-inch compacted depth you’ll need about 17 tons; at 6 inches you’ll need about 25 tons. Hello Gravel’s minimum order is 3 tons, so most driveways will require multiple tons and you can use our calculator or request a quote for an exact amount.

Hello Gravel partners with local suppliers in and around West Arkansas and will show you nearby options when you enter your zip code.

Labor and compaction costs depend on site access, prep needed, and crew size; expect a rough range of $20-$50 per ton or about $1-$3 per square foot for typical residential jobs. Simple spreading and compaction on an easy site will be at the low end, while major site prep, grading, or difficult access raises costs. Get local contractor estimates or ask Hello Gravel for recommended installers in your area.

In many Henderson yards geotextile fabric is a good idea, especially where the subsoil is clay, wet, or prone to mixing with the gravel. Fabric helps separate fines from native soil, reduces rutting, and limits weed intrusion, though it adds material and labor cost. Ask for fabric during planning if you have poor soils or want a longer-lasting surface.

Gravel has the lowest upfront cost and provides excellent drainage for Henderson’s rainy climate, but it needs periodic grading and topping up every few years. Asphalt has a higher initial cost and requires sealcoating and occasional patching, while concrete is the most expensive upfront but can last longer with less frequent maintenance. For small budgets and sites needing drainage, gravel is often the most practical choice.

For decorative patios or walkways use 2-3 inches of compacted decorative gravel, or 4 inches if you will place pavers. For residential driveways plan on 4-6 inches of compacted gravel on top of a properly prepared base; heavy loads or poor subgrade may need a thicker aggregate base. Drainage swales typically need 6-12 inches depending on flow volume and lining materials.

Regulations and HOA rules vary, so it is important to check with Henderson city hall, Polk County, and any neighborhood HOA before you install a gravel driveway or large gravel area. Even in small towns, there can be curb cut, stormwater, or aesthetic rules that affect material choice and placement. If you’re unsure, contact our team and we can help point you to local officials or recommend steps to verify requirements.
