Gravel in West Monroe, LA

In West Monroe you’ll commonly find crushed stone, pea gravel, river rock, and crusher run (a mix of fines and stones). Regional suppliers often source material from nearby quarries and river beds, so color and texture reflect North Louisiana geology. Tell us the look and use you want and we can recommend the best option for driveways, patios, or drainage.

Yes—crushed gravel is a popular, cost-effective driveway material in West Monroe because it compacts well and sheds water when installed correctly. Because local soils can be clayey and hold moisture, contractors usually recommend a compacted base layer of larger stone before a 1.5" to 3" top layer of crushed material for long-term stability.

As a rule of thumb, 1 ton of gravel covers roughly 80 to 100 square feet at a 2" depth, depending on rock density and size. Coverage can vary with material type (pea gravel vs crushed stone), so use our material calculator or provide exact dimensions for a precise tonnage estimate.

Two inches is typically only a top dressing, not a full structural driveway. In West Monroe you’ll usually want 3 to 4 inches of compacted base (larger stone) plus a 1.5" to 3" top layer of screened or crushed gravel for a durable driveway, especially where clay soils can cause rutting when wet.

Cost depends on width, depth, and material. For a small 20-foot-long by 10-foot-wide driveway at a 2" top depth you’ll need about 1.5 to 2 tons of material, but Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order. Material prices in the area commonly range, so expect a material-only bill of roughly $90 to $210 for small jobs and plan for the 3-ton minimum or get a tailored quote for delivery and any additional services.

Yes. Because Hello Gravel sources regionally, gravel color and texture reflect the local geology around West Monroe and the Ouachita River. If color consistency is important, add notes at checkout and ask our team for photos or specific product descriptions before delivery.

Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, but this is not guaranteed. Request spreading at checkout and the driver will assess site access and safety upon arrival; if spreading is not possible you’ll receive a delivered pile (drop) to spread yourself or hire local labor.

Yes—geotextile fabric and a compacted base are recommended on West Monroe properties with clay or soft soils to reduce mixing, rutting, and weed growth. A common approach is fabric over graded soil, then 3–4 inches of larger base stone compacted before a finishing layer of gravel.

West Monroe’s humid subtropical climate and clay-rich soils can make some gravel surfaces prone to settling and rutting after heavy rains. Proper base preparation, good drainage planning, and occasional maintenance (grading and topping up) will keep gravel surfaces performing well year-round.

Calculate area (length x width) and decide desired compacted depth in inches, then convert to cubic yards: area x (depth/12) / 27 = cubic yards. Multiply cubic yards by the local stone weight (ask us for the product-specific conversion) to get tons, or use Hello Gravel’s material calculator and include your zip code for a precise recommendation.

Expect periodic maintenance: rake and regrade after heavy rains, add 0.5" to 1" of new gravel every 1–3 years depending on traffic, and fill ruts promptly to prevent larger base issues. In West Monroe you may also need seasonal attention after storms to preserve drainage and prevent clay contamination of the gravel surface.

As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

This involves pulling the truck forward as material is being dumped to make it easier for you to distribute material after delivery.

The minimum order size is 3 tons.
