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






Ordering driveway gravel from Gravel Monkey is straightforward. A dump truck brings your load to the address you provide, and you mark the spot where you want it dropped. You choose the delivery window that fits your schedule.
Texarkana gets about 52 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage and washout planning matters for any gravel surface. The right material keeps the driveway stable through wet weather.
Driveway gravel splits into two categories: base materials that build a stable foundation and finish materials that provide a smooth, locked surface. The table below lists the options available by the ton.
| Product | Best used for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Driveway Gravel | General driveway top layer | A versatile blend that works for most residential driveways. |
| 3/8" Driveway Gravel | Smooth top dressing, comfortable underfoot | Smaller pieces create a tighter surface that is easy to walk on. |
| 3/4" Driveway Gravel | The standard driveway size, locks together well | A reliable mid-size aggregate that resists shifting under traffic. |
| 1"-1 1/2" Driveway Gravel | Heavier traffic and soft ground | Larger stone provides extra strength where the base is weak. |
| 1 1/2" Driveway Gravel | Deep base layer under a finer top | Use as the first lift to spread load over soft or wet soil. |
| 2"-3" Driveway Gravel | Rural lanes, mud control, first lift | The coarsest option for building a firm base on very soft ground. |
For a long-lasting driveway, the depth and material choice matter more than the initial cost. The table below shows which products fit each project, whether you want a budget approach or a permanent fix.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Culvert and shoulder repair | 1"-1 1/2" Driveway Gravel | 4 to 6 inches to resist washout near drains. |
| Resurfacing an existing driveway | 3/4" Driveway Gravel | 2 to 3 inches over a compacted base. |
| New driveway base | 1 1/2" Driveway Gravel | 6 to 8 inches on moderately well drained soil. |
| Muddy rural lane | 2"-3" Driveway Gravel | 8 to 12 inches, depending on traffic weight. |
| Parking pad | 3/8" Driveway Gravel | 2 to 3 inches for a firm, even surface. |
About 67 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain in Texarkana. Scheduling the delivery onto firm ground matters because a wet site can turn a clean drop into a muddy mess. Winters here are cold enough to move an unsettled base, so compaction is worth the extra pass.
Roughly 46 days each year drop below 32F. That freeze-thaw cycle can shift an un-compacted gravel layer, so a well-tamped base pays off. The county sees about 2 inches of snow on average, which means plowing can push loose surface gravel aside if the top layer is not locked together.
Soils mapped in the Texarkana area are commonly moderately well drained. That affects how much base stone you need under the surface layer. The ground around Texarkana is in hydrologic group C, which means it takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface. A deeper drainage layer earns its place to prevent water from softening the foundation.
To figure out the tonnage, measure the area you plan to cover and decide on the depth. Use the driveway gravel calculator to get a quick estimate based on your own dimensions. The calculator accounts for compaction and waste so you order the right amount.
You order online by the ton. The price is calculated at checkout based on your ZIP code and the quantity. Loads range from 1 to over 40 tons, and qualifying orders get free delivery.
Your delivery date must be at least 3 business days after the order date. You pick a window: morning (7 am to 12 pm) or afternoon (12 pm to 5 pm). A valid phone number is required to confirm the drop. You receive an email confirmation, then a second email closer to the date with the scheduled window and a photo of the material being loaded. Delivery only proceeds once you approve that second email.
You or someone you nominate must be at the site during the window. The truck needs a road width of at least 12 feet. If access is restricted, the crew unloads as close to the requested spot as they safely can. First-time customers can use code FIRSTTIMER50 for $50 off their first order.

The total cost depends on the type and amount of driveway gravel you order. You see the exact price at checkout after entering your ZIP code. Texarkana sees about 46 freezing days a year, which can mean a deeper base is needed, affecting the quantity and therefore the total.
Use the driveway gravel calculator to estimate tonnage based on your area and chosen depth. For Texarkana, the soil group C means water sheds across the surface more than it soaks in, so a deeper drainage layer is often recommended, which increases the tonnage needed.
The delivery price is calculated from the product cost, the tonnage, and the distance from the nearest supplier to your address. All pricing is shown at checkout before you confirm the order.
You mark the exact spot where you want the dump truck to drop the gravel. The driver can put it as close to that spot as the truck can safely reach, given the site access and the 12-foot minimum road width.
There is no yard to visit. Order online, pick your delivery window, and the truck comes to your property. Get started at the Texarkana city hub.
