Crushed Gravel we deliver in Texarkana
Crushed Gravel in Texarkana
Building a driveway or a base for a shed in Texarkana often starts with crushed gravel. Two common choices are 3/4" Crushed Gravel for the compacted base and 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel as a first lift over soft ground.
Texarkana gets about 52 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage planning matters when you choose a base. Crushed gravel compacts well and lets water pass through, which helps manage the wet weather.
Crushed Gravel Sizes for Texarkana Projects
Crushed gravel comes in different sizes for different layers. Finer grades make a smooth finish, while larger stones handle heavy loads and mud. The table below lists the options we deliver.
| Size | Best For | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Crushed Gravel | Fine compacting layer | Creates a smooth, tight surface for paths and paver bases. |
| 3/4" Crushed Gravel | Base and driveways | The workhorse size that compacts well and handles traffic. |
| 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Structural base under heavy loads | Used under concrete or large equipment pads. |
| 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | First lift over soft subgrade | Provides a stable platform before a finer layer. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | Mud control and deep fill | Ideal for very wet areas or deep fill in low spots. |
Project Guide for Crushed Gravel in Texarkana
The table below shows two approaches for common jobs: a budget option using one product and a long-term build that uses two layers.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |

| Farm and site access road | 2"-3" Crushed Gravel with a cap of 3/4" Crushed Gravel | Base depth 6 to 8 inches, cap 4 inches |
| Trench backfill | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | Place in 6-inch lifts, compact each lift |
| Compacted base for structures | 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Depth 4 to 6 inches after compaction |
| Shed or slab pad | 3/8" Crushed Gravel | Compact to 4 inches for a level base |
| Soft or muddy subgrade | 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel first, then 3/4" Crushed Gravel | Stabilize the subgrade before placing the base layer |
Local Conditions That Affect Your Crushed Gravel Job
Soils mapped in the Texarkana area are commonly moderately well drained. As area guidance, you may need less base stone under the surface layer than in heavy clay areas. Ground around Texarkana is in dual hydrologic group B/D: where it is drained, water soaks in at a moderate rate; where it is not, most rain runs across the surface. That makes drainage and a deeper base more important here than elsewhere.
About 69 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Scheduling the delivery onto firm ground means waiting for a dry stretch. Texarkana sees about 46 days a year below freezing. Ground freezing is real but moderate, which affects how deep the base layer needs to be to avoid heave.
The area gets about 2 inches of snow a year. Plowing that snow can damage a loose gravel surface, so a well-compacted top layer is important. Winters here are cold enough to move an unsettled base, so compaction is worth the extra pass.
How Many Tons of Crushed Gravel You Need
To estimate tonnage, measure the length and width of the area in feet, decide the depth in inches, and use one of the material calculators on our site. The calculator will give you a tonnage figure based on your dimensions.

What is this material not suitable for?
Crushed gravel is not a good choice for septic drain fields or areas where drainage must be controlled precisely. It is also not used as a decorative mulch around plants because it can contain fines that compact over time.
Where will the driver put the load?
The driver will dump the load in the location you specify during checkout, as long as the truck can access it safely. You must have a road width of at least 12 feet for the truck. If access is restricted, the driver unloads as close as possible to the requested spot.
