Gravel in Mcalester, OK

Local suppliers in the West Oklahoma area typically sell 57/stone (¾"-1" crushed stone), crusher run (dense base mix), pea gravel, decomposed granite, washed gravel, and river rock. Availability and exact color/texture vary by quarry, so expect regional differences. Choose material based on use (drainage, driveways, pathways, decorative beds).

Pick materials and installation methods that handle both heat and sudden rain: angular crushed stone (like 57) drains well and locks under compaction, while pea gravel drains but can shift in high traffic. Build a stable base, maintain a slope for runoff, and install edging to prevent washout after heavy storms. Schedule major installs outside forecasted heavy-rain periods to allow proper grading and compaction.

Use this quick formula: cubic yards = (square feet x depth in inches) / 324. A good conversion for many gravels is about 1.3 tons per cubic yard, so multiply cubic yards by 1.3 to get tons. For example, a 12 x 40 ft driveway (480 sq ft) at 3" depth needs about 4.4 cubic yards, roughly 5.8 tons. Always round up and check with your supplier before ordering.

Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum and offers standard delivery in 2+ business days; many orders qualify for free delivery depending on supplier and location. Delivery fees, if charged, depend on distance from the quarry, truck access, and whether the drop is tight or requires extra handling. Request a quote at checkout to see exact delivery or small-order fees for your address.

Prices vary by material, tonnage, and local quarry supply, but Mcalester tends to be price-competitive with neighboring West Oklahoma towns because of regional sourcing. Urban areas and places farther from quarries often see higher per-ton prices due to longer trucking distances. For accurate comparisons, get a few local quotes or request a Hello Gravel quote for side-by-side pricing.

For drainage and durability in Mcalester, angular crushed stone (like 57 stone) is a top choice because it compacts well while allowing runoff. Crusher run is ideal as a compacted base layer beneath a finished surface, while pea gravel drains well but can move under traffic. Use proper base preparation and slope to suit your yard's topography for the best performance.

Some local suppliers offer recycled options like crushed concrete or reclaimed asphalt, which can save money and reuse material from demolition projects. Cost differences are site- and supply-dependent; recycled materials are often slightly cheaper but may have more variability in particle size and color. Ask suppliers for specifications and suitability for driveways, drainage, or decorative uses before choosing recycled aggregate.

City codes, county regulations, and HOA rules can affect driveway materials and placement, so check with the City of Mcalester planning or public works department and your HOA before you start. Requirements vary by neighborhood, and some HOAs specify material type, edge treatment, or setbacks. When in doubt, request local guidance early to avoid rework.

Local contractors and haulers can grade, spread, and compact gravel; Hello Gravel connects you to nearby suppliers and contracted trucking fleets but not in-house crews. Labor and equipment costs vary by job size; small driveway installs often range from a few hundred to over a thousand dollars depending on grading, base work, and compaction needs, while routine grading or replenishing for a yard may run $100-$400. Get multiple estimates and ask if the supplier can arrange spreading or compaction when ordering.

After heavy rains, regrade and refill low spots and ruts to restore drainage and surface evenness; add 1-2 inches of new gravel every few years for high-traffic areas. Use a compactor after spreading, keep vegetation trimmed and use weed barrier or targeted treatments to control weeds, and maintain edging to prevent material loss from runoff. Regular light maintenance prevents major repairs after seasonal storms.

This involves pulling the truck forward as material is being dumped to make it easier for you to distribute material after delivery.

The minimum order size is 3 tons.
