Crushed Gravel in Texarkana
Crushed gravel is sold by the ton on this site. You choose your size, place the order online, and a dump truck delivers to your Texarkana property. It compacts firmly and stays put under traffic. Gravel Monkey handles the truck, the drop and the pricing, so you only pick the size and the day.
Texarkana gets about 52 inches of precipitation a year. That is why drainage and washout planning matter for any crushed gravel project. A good base keeps the surface stable through wet weather.
Crushed gravel sizes available for Texarkana deliveries
Not every crushed gravel size works for every job. The wrong size can lead to shifting, poor drainage, or a weak base. Here are the crushed gravel options available in Texarkana.
| Size | Use | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Crushed Gravel | Fine compacting layer | Fine surface for pathways and paver bases; compacts tight but stays workable. |
| 3/4" Crushed Gravel | The workhorse size for base and drives | Standard choice for driveways and base layers; locks well and sheds water. |
| 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Structural base under heavy loads | Heavy-duty base for trucks or equipment; deep lifts require this size. |
| 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | First lift over soft subgrade | Bridges weak spots before final surface; good first lift over soft ground. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | Mud control and deep fill | Fills deep ruts without pumping; ideal for mud control in low areas. |

How Texarkana weather and soil affect crushed gravel jobs
About 67 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain in Texarkana. Scheduling your delivery onto firm ground means picking a dry stretch in the forecast. A wet delivery site can cause ruts and uneven settling, and compacting wet subgrade is never a good idea.
About 46 days a year drop below freezing. Frost penetration is real but moderate, so the base layer depth matters for stability. Crushed gravel's angular shape helps it lock together and resist shifting from freeze-thaw. Freeze and thaw cycles work on loose material all winter, which is the argument for the deeper first lift. Snowfall averages about 2 inches a year, but even light snow can cause plowing damage to a loose surface.
Soils mapped in the Texarkana area are commonly moderately well drained. That means you may need more base stone under the surface layer. The ground around Texarkana is in hydrologic group C, which takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface. A deeper drainage layer earns its place here. New home sites often need a stable base for driveways and parking areas, which crushed gravel provides. With a population of about 36,181, Texarkana sees steady demand for crushed gravel for residential and commercial work. Bowie County permitted about 56 single-family homes in 2024, many of which require crushed gravel for driveways and base layers.
Estimating how much crushed gravel you need for your project
Crushed gravel is sold by the ton, and loads range from 1 to 40+ tons. The amount you need depends on the area and depth. Measure the length and width of the space, then decide on a depth in inches. Use our material calculators to enter your dimensions and get an exact tonnage. That saves guesswork and ensures you order the right amount. Having a precise number helps you plan delivery size and avoid extra trips.
