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






If you are building a new driveway in Fayetteville or resurfacing an existing one, picking the right gravel makes the difference between a surface that stays put and one that washes out. The 3/4-inch Driveway Gravel locks together well for a stable surface, while the 1-inch to 1-1/2-inch Driveway Gravel handles heavier traffic and soft ground. You see the delivered price for your ZIP before you order.
Fayetteville gets about 53 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage and washout planning matter. The right base layer and surface stone keep your driveway intact through wet weather. We deliver the size that fits your job by the ton.
Driveway gravel splits into two layers: a base layer of larger stone that provides stability and drainage, and a finish layer of smaller, smoother gravel. Here are the sizes we offer for each stage.
| Product | What it is for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Driveway Gravel | General driveway top layer | All-purpose mix for the surface of a residential driveway. |
| 3/8" Driveway Gravel | Smooth top dressing, comfortable underfoot | A small, smooth gravel that is easy to walk on and suitable for light traffic. |
| 3/4" Driveway Gravel | The standard driveway size | The most common surface size; it compacts and interlocks well to form a solid crust. |
| 1"-1 1/2" Driveway Gravel | Heavier traffic and soft ground | A larger stone for driveways that see heavier vehicles or softer subgrades. |
| 1 1/2" Driveway Gravel | Deep base layer under a finer top | Used as the first lift to create a stable foundation for a finer surface material. |
| 2"-3" Driveway Gravel | Rural lanes, mud control, first lift | Very large stone for stabilizing muddy lanes and as a base over soft ground. |
Your choice between a budget-friendly option and a long-term solution affects the gravel depth and size. Here are common Fayetteville driveway projects and our recommendations.

| Resurfacing an existing driveway | 3/8" Driveway Gravel as a smooth overlay | 2 to 3 inches overlay |
| Muddy rural lane | 2"-3" Driveway Gravel first lift, then 3/4" Driveway Gravel surface | 4 to 6 inches total, base of 3 to 4 inches of large stone |
| New driveway base | 1 1/2" Driveway Gravel base, then 3/4" Driveway Gravel top | 6 inches total, 3 inches base and 3 inches top |
Soils mapped in the Fayetteville area are commonly well drained, so you typically need less base stone under the surface layer. The ground around Fayetteville takes water in at a moderate rate, which means the standard base depth of 4 inches is usually enough for most driveways.
The area sees about 53 inches of precipitation a year spread across about 79 wet days. You should schedule your delivery for a period of firm ground to avoid rutting. Frost is not the constraint here, so the calendar is driven by rain and by how wet the ground is.
About 52 days a year drop below freezing, which can cause the ground to shift slightly. Snowfall averages about 1 inch a year, so plowing damage to a loose surface is rarely a concern, but if it does snow, take care not to scrape gravel off the driveway. Ground freezing here is not a significant factor, so the base layer does not need extra depth for frost protection.
To estimate the tonnage, measure the length and width of the area and decide on the depth. Multiply length by width by depth in feet, then divide by 27 to get cubic yards. One cubic yard of driveway gravel weighs about 1.4 tons. Use our driveway gravel calculator to get an exact number for your project.
