Driveway Gravel ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Arkansas address and unloads right where you point.






Driveway gravel projects in Arkansas often need between a few tons and over forty tons, depending on the area you need to cover and the depth you choose. Resurfacing an existing drive uses less material than building a new base for a rural lane.
Gravel Monkey delivers driveway gravel throughout Arkansas by the ton, straight to your address in a dump truck. Compare the sizes below, work out your tonnage, and get a delivered price at checkout.
Choosing the right size of driveway gravel is about matching the stone to the job. The six sizes we deliver in Arkansas cover everything from a smooth top layer to a heavy base for soft ground. This table shows each size and its best use, and each one is sold by the ton.
| Size | Best For | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Driveway Gravel | general driveway top layer | A reliable all-purpose choice for most residential drives. |
| 3/8" Driveway Gravel | smooth top dressing, comfortable underfoot | Ideal for walkways and areas where you want a finer surface. |
| 3/4" Driveway Gravel | the standard driveway size, locks together well | The most common size for a durable, stable driveway surface. |
| 1"-1 1/2" Driveway Gravel | heavier traffic and soft ground | Use where you need extra strength under repeated vehicle weight. |
| 1 1/2" Driveway Gravel | deep base layer under a finer top | Provides a solid foundation that resists settling and mud. |
| 2"-3" Driveway Gravel | rural lanes, mud control, first lift | Best for the initial layer on soft or wet ground to stop sinking. |
The size you need varies by project. This table matches common driveway jobs with the recommended gravel size and a typical installation depth. Use it as a starting point, and adjust based on your specific soil conditions and traffic.
| Project | What to Order | Depth or Note |
|---|---|---|
| Resurfacing an existing driveway | 3/4" Driveway Gravel | 2 to 3 inches after compaction |
| Parking pad | 1"-1 1/2" Driveway Gravel | 4 to 6 inches for light vehicles |
| Muddy rural lane | 2"-3" Driveway Gravel | 6 to 8 inches as a first lift |
| New driveway base | 1 1/2" Driveway Gravel | 4 to 6 inches compacted in layers |
| Culvert and shoulder repair | 1"-1 1/2" Driveway Gravel | Fill to grade and compact |
Annual precipitation across the cities we deliver to in Arkansas runs from about 49 to 55 inches. That much moisture can soften the ground beneath a driveway, so a well-draining base layer is important to prevent rutting and settling.
Freezing temperatures occur roughly 50 to 92 days a year across the state, and most of Arkansas falls in a moderate band for ground freezing. Repeated freeze-thaw cycles can heave an un-compacted base, which is why proper compaction during installation is critical.
The most common soil hydrologic groups across served cities are D and C, which drain slowly. That means a thicker gravel base is often needed to keep the driveway stable in wet conditions. Winters here are cold enough to move an unsettled base, so compaction is worth the extra pass.

To work out how many tons you need, measure the length and width of your driveway in feet, decide on the depth in inches, and use our driveway gravel calculator to convert that volume into tons. The calculator accounts for compaction and the specific weight of the gravel you choose.

The amount of rainfall and the number of freezing days vary across the state. Annual precipitation ranges from about 49 to 55 inches, so a well-draining base is important. The freeze-thaw cycle can shift an un-compacted base, making compaction essential.
