Buy Crushed Stone in Texarkana, Arkansas

Choosing the wrong crushed stone size is a common mistake. Homeowners often pick one type for all uses, but each project has its own requirements. Texarkana gets about 52 inches of precipitation a year, which means drainage needs to be a priority from the start.

The right size for a paver patio is not the same as the right size for a driveway base. Understanding the difference saves time and money. Gravel Monkey delivers crushed stone by the ton straight to your Texarkana address.

Crushed Stone Sizes for Texarkana Projects

Crushed stone splits into two categories: base material for structural layers and finish material for visible surfaces. The table below lists the available sizes and their typical uses.

Choosing the Right Crushed Stone for Your Job

For each project you can pick a budget-friendly size or a more durable option. The table below shows the most common choices.

How Texarkana's Weather and Soil Affect Your Crushed Stone Job

About 69 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain. That means scheduling your delivery onto firm ground is important to avoid getting stuck. Around 46 days a year drop below 32F, and the ground freezing here is real but moderate, so the base layer needs to be deep enough to resist movement. Winters here are cold enough to move an unsettled base, so compaction is worth the extra pass.

Snowfall averages about 2 inches a year, which is not enough to cause major plowing damage to a loose surface, but it is worth planning for if you lay stone in late fall. Soils mapped in the Texarkana area are commonly moderately well drained, but the ground sits in dual hydrologic group B/D. Where it is drained it takes water in at a moderate rate; where it is not, it takes water in very slowly, so most rain runs across the surface. That means drainage and a deeper base matter more here than elsewhere.

Miller County permitted about 21 single-family homes in 2024, a sign that new construction is active. If you are building, crushed stone is a standard part of the process.

Estimating How Much Crushed Stone You Need

Calculate the volume by multiplying length by width by depth in feet, then divide by 27 to get cubic yards. Multiply the cubic yards by about 1.4 to get the tonnage of crushed stone needed. You can use our crushed stone calculator to do the math with your project dimensions.

Frequently Asked Questions about Crushed Stone in Texarkana

Does the soil around Texarkana change how much crushed stone I need?

Yes. Soils mapped in the Texarkana area are commonly moderately well drained, so you may need less base stone than in poorly drained soils. But because the area has a dual hydrologic group, the actual drainage depends on your specific site. A deeper base is safer in areas that hold water.

How much does crushed stone delivery cost in Texarkana?

Delivery cost is calculated by ZIP code at checkout. Ground freezing here is real but moderate, so planning delivery before the freeze or after thaw may affect timing and cost. The delivery date must be at least 3 business days after the order date.

How deep should the layer be for a job that carries vehicles?

For a driveway that carries cars and light trucks, a compacted base of 4 to 6 inches of crushed stone is standard. If the subgrade is soft or you expect heavy trucks, go to 8 inches. The stone should be compacted in 4-inch lifts.

Which size is the most common choice for this material?

The 3/4" Crushed Stone is the most common size. It works for driveway bases, drainage layers, and as a subbase under concrete. It is the all-purpose size that many contractors start with.
