Crushed Gravel ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Fayetteville address and unloads right where you point.
Crushed gravel is a man-made aggregate produced by crushing larger stones, and it is often mistaken for crushed stone. Both materials are angular and compact well, but crushed gravel contains a wider range of particle sizes, which gives it better stability under load. Fayetteville gets about 53 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage planning is important when choosing a base material.
Crushed gravel's interlocking particles help resist washout, making it a solid choice for driveways and paths in this climate. It also blocks weed growth better than rounded stone because the edges lock together.
Each crushed gravel product has a best use. Avoid using a fine surface layer where heavy trucks will turn, and avoid a large stone where you need a smooth finish. Here are the sizes Gravel Monkey delivers to Fayetteville:
| Product | Best Use | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Crushed Gravel | Fine compacting layer | Good for top dressing paths and patios |
| 3/4" Crushed Gravel | The workhorse size for base and drives | Ideal for driveways and parking areas |
| 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Structural base under heavy loads | Use under concrete slabs or asphalt |
| 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | First lift over soft subgrade | Provides a stable platform on weaker soil |
| 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | Mud control and deep fill | Best for wet areas and deep corrections |
Use this table to match your project with the right product and depth. These recommendations are based on typical Fayetteville soil conditions and traffic loads.
| Project | What to Order | Depth or Note |
|---|---|---|
| Trench backfill | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | Compact in 6-inch lifts |
| Farm and site access road | 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel over 3/8" crushed gravel | Base 6 to 8 inches, top 2 inches |
| Soft or muddy subgrade | 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | Build up 12 to 18 inches depending on conditions |
| Compacted base for pavement | 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | 4 to 6 inches after compaction |
| Shed or slab pad | 3/4" Crushed Gravel over 3/8" crushed gravel | Base 4 inches, top 1 inch |
Soils mapped in the Fayetteville area are commonly well drained, so standard base depth is usually sufficient for most projects. The ground here takes water in at a moderate rate, meaning water percolates well and does not sit on the surface for long. This reduces the risk of washout and keeps the base stable.
Fayetteville averages about 79 days a year with at least a tenth of an inch of rain, so you should schedule your delivery onto firm ground. Freezing temperatures drop below 32°F on about 52 days each year, which can cause the ground to heave and loosen the surface. Snowfall is light at about 1 inch a year, but plowing that snow can damage a loose crushed gravel top layer. Ground freezing here is not a significant factor, so the base layer does not need extra depth to combat frost.
Frost is not the constraint here, so the calendar is driven by rain and by how wet the ground is.
To determine how many tons of crushed gravel you need, measure the length and width of the area and multiply by the desired depth in feet. Then divide by 27 to get cubic yards, and multiply by about 1.4 to get tons for most crushed gravel products.

Crushed gravel often works best alongside a base layer or a surface finish. Consider these materials for your project:
Yes. Fayetteville gets about 53 inches of precipitation a year, which is enough to cause washout on poorly compacted or improperly sloped surfaces. Crushed gravel's angular particles lock together and resist movement, making it a good choice for managing runoff.
Fayetteville averages about 79 days a year with at least a tenth of an inch of rain. You should schedule your delivery for a dry stretch to ensure the ground is firm enough to support the dump truck and to allow immediate compaction.
The delivery price is calculated based on the quantity of crushed gravel you order and your delivery ZIP code. You will see the total cost at checkout before you commit to the order.
The driver will place the crushed gravel where you direct them on your property, as long as the truck can access the spot. You or someone you nominate must be present during the delivery window to guide the driver.
