C ballast is a coarse, angular crushed stone commonly used for heavy-duty base and drainage applications, similar to railroad ballast. It is great under driveways, pads, and areas needing strong load-bearing support, and in West Arkansas it helps with drainage during heavy rains.

A typical tri-axle dump truck carries about 10 to 12 tons of gravel; at local price ranges of roughly $30 to $50 per ton, a full truckload would be around $300 to $600 plus any delivery fee. Final cost varies by material, haul distance, and supplier, and Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum on orders.

No, 2 inches is usually too thin for a vehicle driveway. For passenger cars on a well-prepared subbase, aim for a compacted base of 4 to 6 inches of crushed stone and a 1 to 2 inch top dressing; in heavy clay or wet spots common in Arkansas, a thicker base helps prevent ruts and standing water.

One ton of typical crushed gravel covers about 115 square feet at a 2-inch depth, though coverage changes with stone size and compaction. For 3-inch or 4-inch depths, the same ton covers proportionally less area, so use our material calculator or contact us with your dimensions for an exact estimate.

Gravel can reduce habitat for some pests by eliminating damp soil and preventing standing water, which helps lower mosquito breeding in humid Bryant conditions. However, gravel does not repel all insects; ants, ticks, and other pests can still occur, so combine gravel with proper drainage and landscape maintenance for best results.

Common types are pea gravel (rounded, decorative), crushed stone (angular, good for driveways and base), and river rock (larger, smooth, used for accents and drainage). For driveways and structural work use crushed stone or C ballast, while pea gravel is better for walkways and decorative beds in West Arkansas yards.

Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum and delivers by contracted dump trucks, usually within 2 or more business days with a next-day option if ordered before noon CST for an extra fee. You can request tailgate spreading at checkout but the driver will decide on-site if it can be done safely, and regional material color and texture may vary from photos.
