Crushed Stone for Little Rock Projects
Little Rock is a growing city in central Arkansas with a population of about 200,000, serving as the regional hub for construction and development throughout the Little Rock-North Little Rock-Conway metro area. The local building and landscaping scene depends on reliable delivery of quality aggregate materials. 3/8″ crushed stone is a practical, durable choice for driveways, foundations, pathways, and fill work throughout the city and surrounding areas. This gray stone has proven itself in residential projects, commercial developments, and contractor work across the region.
What 3/8″ Crushed Stone Is Used For
3/8″ crushed stone is an angular gray aggregate sized to compact tightly into a firm base layer. It works well beneath concrete slabs, asphalt, and hardscaping because it settles evenly and provides load-bearing support without excessive shifting. The angular shape is key: pieces lock together much more effectively than smooth, round stone. This is why contractors specify it for applications where vehicles or equipment will pass over the surface.
In Little Rock, property owners and contractors use 3/8″ stone for:
- Driveway and parking lot base layers
- Foundation fill and structural support beneath buildings
- Gravel roads and temporary access routes
- Yard drainage improvements and fill for low spots
- Landscaping borders and transition areas
- Erosion control on sloped properties
The stone is coarser than pea gravel grades. This middle size is ideal when you need something that compacts firmly but remains manageable to spread and level.

How Much 3/8″ Crushed Stone You Need
The amount you need depends on three factors: the length and width of your area, and how deep you want to lay the material. This stone weighs approximately 2,650 pounds per cubic yard, which converts to roughly 1.33 tons per cubic yard. For example, a typical residential driveway that is 20 feet long, 10 feet wide, and 4 inches deep would require about 10 tons of stone to properly compact and level.
Rather than estimate, use our calculator to size your project accurately. Enter your length, width, and desired depth in inches, and the calculator will return the tonnage you need to order. If you're not sure how deep to lay the material or if you're uncertain about your square footage, we can help you plan the details when you call with your project information or submit an initial order inquiry.

About 3/8″ Crushed Stone
About 3/8″ Crushed Stone
3/8″ crushed stone is a uniform gray aggregate produced by crushing larger pieces of stone into angular fragments roughly 3/8 inch in size. This size is ideal for compaction into a firm, stable base layer, making it a popular choice for driveway construction, foundation work, and gravel road building. The angular shape is essential: pieces lock together much more effectively than round stone, creating better stability and reducing shifting over time.

In Arkansas, this aggregate is commonly used in both residential and commercial construction throughout the state. Property owners value it for filling low spots on their properties, creating stable bases for structures, and building temporary access roads. Contractors across the region use it as a standard ingredient in base layer work, and it's trusted by professionals for everything from driveway installation to foundation preparation.

What is the difference between 3/8″ crushed stone and larger stone sizes?
3/8″ stone is smaller and compacts more tightly than larger grades, creating a firmer base with fewer air pockets. Larger sizes settle less evenly and may shift under load. 3/8″ is the standard choice for driveway and foundation bases because it locks together well while still being easy to shovel and spread.
How many tons of 3/8″ crushed stone do I need for a driveway?
This depends on your driveway's length, width, and the depth you want to lay. Most durable driveway bases use 4 inches of stone. A 20-foot by 10-foot driveway at 4 inches deep requires about 10 tons. Use the calculator to enter your exact dimensions and get a precise tonnage recommendation.
Can I use 3/8″ crushed stone for landscaping?
This stone works best for structural and compacted applications rather than landscaping accents. It's angular and gray, so it doesn't have the polished appearance of decorative river rock or pea gravel. Use it where you need a solid, functional base layer for pathways or drainage improvements.
