Gravel in Little Rock, AR

Delivered gravel prices in Little Rock vary by type and amount, but a common range is about $30 to $70 per ton for landscape and driveway gravels. A cubic yard of gravel weighs roughly 1.2 tons, so expect per-cubic-yard pricing to be about 1.2 times the per-ton price; most orders start at Hello Gravel's 3-ton minimum. Final cost depends on material (river rock, crushed limestone, etc.), delivery distance, and any spreading services requested, so check your zip code for an exact quote.

Often crushed rock (angular, mechanically processed stone) is the same price or slightly cheaper than naturally rounded river gravel in Little Rock, because crushed material is widely produced locally and used for subbase and driveways. Natural river rock or decorative rounded stone usually costs more due to additional sorting and limited local supply. Choose crushed rock for strength and compaction, and rounded gravel for decorative uses if budget allows.

Crushed limestone or recycled concrete (crush-and-run) are usually the most affordable and practical choices for driveways in the Little Rock area because they compact well and are widely available. These materials give a stable, low-maintenance surface and are typically less expensive than decorative river rock or washed pea gravel. If appearance matters, put a thin top layer of decorative gravel over a compacted crushed base to balance cost and look.

Little Rock's proximity to the Arkansas River and regional quarries means you commonly see river rock, crushed limestone, and other locally sourced aggregates, so color and texture often reflect local geology. That regional sourcing affects appearance, particle shape, and drainage characteristics, so material photos may not be an exact match to what is delivered. If color or texture is important, note your preference in Order Notes and ask for local supplier details before purchase.

To estimate gravel needed, calculate area (feet) times depth (feet) divided by 27 to get cubic yards, then multiply by about 1.2 to convert to tons (approximate). Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order, standard delivery in 2+ business days, and next-day delivery available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Drivers may be able to tailgate-spread at their discretion if requested at checkout, but spreading is not guaranteed.
