Two inches is generally too thin for a residential driveway and best reserved for walkways or decorative topcoat. For Fayetteville soils and typical vehicle loads, we recommend 4 inches of compacted gravel for a basic driveway and 6 inches if you need a long-lasting base or have heavier trucks. Also consider a 3- to 4-inch crushed stone base under decorative gravel for better drainage and stability.

Hello Gravel connects you with multiple local suppliers and haulers around Fayetteville so you can compare materials and prices without calling around. Typical local prices for basic gravel run about $35 to $75 per ton, while fill dirt is usually cheaper per ton but varies by site and haul distance. Check your zip code on our site to see available materials and supplier pricing in your neighborhood.

Fill dirt is usually cheaper per ton than gravel, but it compacts poorly and can retain water, so it is not a good long-term surface for driveways. For a stable driveway base, choose crushed stone or gravel (e.g., 3/4-inch stone) for drainage and compaction, and use fill dirt only for non-structural leveling or landscaping behind the base. If cost is the priority, use fill dirt to rough-level then cap with a proper gravel base.

Buying bulk by the truckload is usually the most cost-effective per ton in Fayetteville, since pallet bags and small retail bags are priced higher for convenience. Recycled materials can be cheaper but quality and consistency vary by supplier, so inspect samples or ask for details through Hello Gravel. If you need a small amount or limited access, pallet bags may be the practical choice despite the higher per-ton cost.

Full professional installation in Fayetteville typically runs about $3 to $8 per square foot including materials and labor, depending on site prep, excavation, drainage, and material choice. That means a 400 sq ft driveway could cost roughly $1,200 to $3,200 all together. For an accurate local estimate, get multiple contractor bids and request material delivery quotes from Hello Gravel to coordinate timing and pricing.
