Crushed Gravel ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Beebe address and unloads right where you point.
Contractors and homeowners buy crushed gravel differently. A contractor knows the tonnage, the size and the delivery logistics from experience. A homeowner is usually estimating a single project and may not have handled bulk material before.
Either way, the material arrives the same way: by dump truck, dumped where you say, billed by the ton. Beebe gets about 53 inches of precipitation a year, so a firm, well-drained base matters from the start to prevent uneven settling.
Crushed gravel in Beebe comes in several sizes, each built for a different job. The smaller sizes compact into a hard, smooth surface. The larger ones add stability under heavy loads. This is the angular, crushed product that locks together, unlike rounded gravels.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Crushed Gravel | Fine compacting layer | Creates a smooth, tight surface for walkways and pads. |
| 3/4" Crushed Gravel | Workhorse size for base and drives | The go-to for driveways and stable base layers. |
| 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Structural base under heavy loads | Handles vehicle and equipment traffic without shifting. |
| 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | First lift over soft subgrade | Bridges weak ground before a finer surface goes on top. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | Mud control and deep fill | Drains well and stabilizes wet, low areas. |
Match the project to the size that solves the problem. The table below pairs typical jobs with the right product and a depth guideline.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Compacted base | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | 4 to 6 inches after compaction |
| Soft or muddy subgrade | 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | 6 to 8 inches as a bridging layer |
| Shed or slab pad | 3/8" Crushed Gravel | 3 to 4 inches, compacted firm |
| Trench backfill | 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Fill in lifts and compact each |
| Farm and site access road | 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | 8 to 12 inches over geotextile if needed |
Beebe has about 73 wet days a year, each with at least a tenth of an inch of rain. That makes scheduling the delivery onto firm ground important so the truck does not rut the site before the gravel is placed. About 72 days a year drop below 32F, which narrows the work window for compacting and finishing a surface.
Soils mapped in the Beebe area are commonly moderately well drained. That can mean you need more or less base stone under the surface layer depending on the exact spot. The ground around Beebe is in dual hydrologic group C/D. Where the soil is drained, it takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface. Where it is not, most rain runs across the surface. Drainage and a deeper base matter more here than in many other places.
Winters here are cold enough to move an unsettled base, so compaction is worth the extra pass. Beebe gets about 2 inches of snow a year, so plowing damage to a loose surface is something to plan for if the gravel goes down in a driveway or access route.
Estimating tonnage starts with the area and the depth you plan to use. Multiply length by width by depth in feet, then divide by the volume a ton covers for the size you chose. Use our material calculators to get a tonnage estimate for any of the crushed gravel sizes before you order.
Order online by the ton, and delivery is priced by ZIP at checkout. Loads range from 1 to more than 40 tons. Free delivery applies on qualifying orders. Use code FIRSTTIMER50 for $50 off a first order.
You choose a delivery window at checkout: morning from 7 am to 12 pm or afternoon from 12 pm to 5 pm. The delivery date must be at least 3 business days after the order date. You get an email confirmation, then a second email closer to the date with the scheduled window and a photo of the material being loaded. Delivery only goes ahead once you approve that second email. You or someone you nominate must be at the site during the window.

Crushed gravel works alone for most jobs, but pairing it with another material can solve specific problems. Here are options for the same project.
Yes. The ground around Beebe is in dual hydrologic group C/D. Where the soil is drained, it takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface. Where it is not, most rain runs across the surface. That means a deeper gravel base is often needed to keep the surface stable, especially in areas that stay wet.
Late spring through early fall gives you the most working days. About 72 days a year drop below freezing, and wet ground from the 53 inches of annual precipitation can delay compaction. Ordering in dry weather means the base can be compacted properly before winter arrives.
Crushed gravel is not a decorative finish. It stays gray and angular and does not have the polished look of a washed or rounded stone. It is also not a weed barrier unless you put landscape fabric underneath, and it is not a clean drainage fill because it contains fines that can clog a French drain over time.
Yes. A contractor can place the order and enter the homeowner contact info for the delivery confirmation. The person at the site during the delivery window must be authorized to approve the load and direct the driver to the dump spot.
No yard trip, no pickup truck. You order by the ton, choose your delivery window, and a dump truck brings the load to your address. The total is shown at checkout with delivery included by ZIP. Start your order on the Beebe city hub and select the crushed gravel size you need.
