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







The price you pay for gravel and rock depends on the weight you need and how far the truck travels. Gravel Monkey prices each order by ZIP code at checkout, so the delivered number is clear before you commit.
Texarkana sees about 46 days a year below freezing. Those freeze-thaw cycles work on loose material all winter, which is why the first lift of base stone often needs to be deeper than in warmer climates.
Each type of gravel has a job it handles well and one it does not. The table below matches products to their intended use.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel | Play areas, patios | Rounded and smooth, does not compact firm. |
| River Rock | Beds, borders, dry creek beds | Stays in place under heavy rain, suppresses weeds. |
| 2-4" River Rock | Large decorative cover, erosion control on slopes | Handles runoff without shifting. |
| Drain Rock | French drains, dry wells | Clean edges let water through; does not work for paths. |
| Decomposed Granite | Paths and patios that compact firm | Compacts to a hard surface; needs a base layer under it. |
| Crusher Run | Compacting base under everything | Angular material that locks together; not a surface finish. |
| Road Base | Lanes and pads that carry trucks | Engineered for heavy loads; overkill for flower beds. |
Match the surface type to the right material. This table starts with common projects and recommends the product and depth.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape beds | River Rock | 2 to 3 inches, layer over fabric to block weeds. |
| Path that stays firm | Decomposed Granite | Compacted 3 to 4 inches, with a crusher-run base. |
| Erosion control on a slope | 2-4" River Rock | 4 to 6 inches, large rock holds against runoff. |
| French drain | Drain Rock | Depth per pipe size, clean rock moves water. |
| Dry creek bed | River Rock | 4 to 6 inches, mixed sizes mimic a natural stream. |
Around Texarkana, soils are mapped in dual hydrologic group B/D. Where the ground has been tiled or built over, it drains at a moderate rate. Where it has not, most rain runs across the surface. That variability makes drainage planning essential and often means a deeper base layer than you would need in uniformly well-drained areas.
Snowfall here averages about 2 inches a year. Even a light snow can cause plow blades to catch a loose surface, so a compacted top layer like decomposed granite or road base is a smart choice for driveways and paths that see winter maintenance.
Freeze and thaw cycles work on loose material all winter, which is the argument for the deeper first lift. Ground freezing in Texarkana is moderate, but it still means the base layer needs enough depth to resist frost heave under the surface stone.
The tonnage depends on the area and the depth you choose. A 3-inch layer of crushed stone covers roughly 60 square feet per ton, but different materials have different densities. Use Gravel Monkey's material calculators to estimate the tons for your project dimensions.
