Stone in Nashville, AR

Delivered stone prices in West Arkansas typically run in the range of about $25 to $45 per ton depending on stone type, size, and delivery distance.

Local suppliers near Nashville commonly offer crushed limestone (¾u0022 and 3/4u0022 minus), #57 stone (roughly 3/4u0022), bank-run gravel, and pea gravel. Crushed limestone and #57 are used for driveways, base layers, and drainage; bank-run is a cheaper, mixed-size material good for rough fill and temporary roads; pea gravel is used for patios and decorative areas. Regional geology means color and texture will vary, so request local photos or notes at checkout.

Hello Gravel requires a minimum order of 3 tons, which aligns with typical tri-axle deliveries in the area. Most suppliers and haulers will deliver within about 20 to 40 miles of Nashville; some will go out to 50–60 miles for an extra fee. Remote sites, rough access, or narrow lanes can increase delivery charges or require different truck types.

Installed costs for a compacted stone driveway in this area commonly range from about $1.50 to $3.50 per square foot, depending on site prep, thickness, access, and local labor rates. If you prefer per-ton math, expect to add roughly $10 to $25 per ton for spreading and compaction by a contractor, on top of the delivered material price. Heavy grading, removal of clay or vegetation, or drainage work will increase the total cost.

Hot summers and heavy rainfall combined with clay subsoils in West Arkansas can cause poor drainage and rutting if the base is thin or the wrong stone is used. Choose angular, crushed stone for good interlock (for example #57 for top layers and larger crushed base material for the base), add proper slope and drainage, and consider geotextile fabric to separate stone from clay. Proper compaction and thicker base layers will significantly extend longevity in local conditions.

A typical two-car driveway sized about 20 ft by 40 ft (800 sq ft) at a 4u0022 compacted depth needs roughly 14 tons of crushed stone. A 500 sq ft patio at 2u0022 to 3u0022 depth requires about 4 to 6.5 tons, depending on depth and stone density. Use our material calculator or contact us with your exact dimensions for a precise estimate.

Permit needs vary: within Nashville city limits contact the City of Nashville planning or public works office for driveway permits or curb-cut requirements; if your driveway connects to a county road, contact the Howard County Road Department. Any property on a state highway may require an ARDOT permit, and HOA rules are independent and can restrict material or appearance, so check your HOA covenants before ordering. If unsure, call our team and we can point you to the likely local contacts.

Stone has a lower upfront material and installation cost but generally requires more frequent maintenance, such as regrading, adding 1–2 inches of stone every few years, and periodic compaction. Asphalt or concrete costs more upfront but typically lasts longer with less routine maintenance; however, repairs can be costly if drainage or base failures occur. Choose stone if you want lower initial cost and easy repairs; choose asphalt or concrete if you want lower maintenance and a longer-lasting finished surface.

Standard delivery is scheduled at least 2 business days out, with a next-day option for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee, and deliveries are made by local contracted dump trucks (usually tri-axle). You can add delivery placement notes at checkout and request tailgate spreading, but spreading is performed at the driver's discretion and is not guaranteed. Because we source regionally, color and texture may vary—add a note if you have color preferences and check photos or samples if appearance is important.
