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







Gravel and rock in West Memphis means buying by the ton and having it dropped at your address. You choose the size and the day on our site, and a dump truck delivers the load. West Memphis gets about 55 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage and washout planning matter when you pick your material.
We operate as a national broker, so the exact product comes from a nearby quarry. The truck rolls up with the load, you approve the delivery, and the material goes where you need it.
Each material handles a different job. The table below lists what we offer by the ton, with a note on where it fits best. Pick the one that matches your site and the load you expect.
| Product | Best used for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel | Play areas, patios | Rounded and smooth, not for driveways or slopes. |
| River Rock | Beds, borders, dry creek beds | Varied sizes, natural look for decorative work. |
| 2-4" River Rock | Larger decorative cover and erosion control | Heavy rock that stays in place on banks. |
| Drain Rock | French drains and dry wells | Clean, angular stone for water movement. |
| Decomposed Granite | Paths and patios that compact firm | Packs tight but needs a base under it. |
| Crusher Run | Compacting base under everything | Contains fines; locks together when compacted. |
| Road Base | Lanes and pads that carry trucks | Engineered mix for heavy loads. |
Picking the right gravel or rock comes down to the surface and the traffic. The table below pairs common jobs with the best material from our list.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Path that stays firm | Decomposed Granite | 2 to 3 inches compacted over a crusher run base. |
| Dry creek bed | River Rock | 4 to 6 inches deep for visual flow. |
| Erosion control on a slope | 2-4" River Rock | 6 to 8 inches to hold against runoff. |
| French drain | Drain Rock | 1.5 times the pipe diameter of clean stone. |
| Landscape beds | 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel | 2 inches deep, weed barrier recommended. |
West Memphis sits in Crittenden County, where about 75 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain. That means scheduling a delivery onto firm ground matters: wet soil can rut under the truck. The area also sees about 58 days below freezing each year, which narrows the work window for compacting base layers. Freeze and thaw cycles work on loose material all winter, which is the argument for the deeper first lift.
Soils mapped in the West Memphis area are commonly poorly drained, so more base stone under the surface layer helps prevent washout. Ground around West Memphis is in hydrologic group D, which means it takes water in very slowly, so most rain runs across the surface. That makes drainage and a deeper base matter more here than elsewhere. Snowfall averages about 2 inches a year, and plowing can damage a loose surface if the rock is not compacted well.

Your gravel or rock job often needs other materials for the base or finishing touch. These are available by the ton as well.
Yes. West Memphis sees about 58 days a year below 32F, so the ground freezes and thaws repeatedly. That cycle can heave a shallow base, so order early enough to place a deeper first lift before the frost sets in. Delivery is scheduled at least 3 business days out, so plan for that window.
About 75 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Scheduling a delivery onto firm ground is important because wet soil can rut under the truck and slow down spreading. Check the extended forecast and pick a dry stretch for the delivery day.
Size depends on use. For paths and patios that compact, decomposed granite or crusher run works. For drainage, clean drain rock or river rock in 2 to 4 inches handles water. For heavy traffic, road base or larger river rock holds better. Match the product to the project table above for guidance.
