Gravel in Bernice, OK

Delivered gravel prices in Bernice typically range from about $35 to $65 per ton depending on type (pea gravel, crushed stone, crusher run) and whether delivery is included. A rough conversion gives about $50 to $90 per cubic yard (using ~1.4 tons per cubic yard); exact pricing depends on material, hauling distance, and supplier availability.

Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum order for delivery nationwide, which applies in the Bernice area. Local suppliers or independent haulers may have their own minimums or minimum-fee policies, and some remote or lakefront addresses may incur extra access or short-haul charges.

For Bernice driveways, crushed limestone or crusher run are often the best choices because they compact well and resist movement on clay soils and through freeze-thaw cycles. Pea gravel and river rock look nice but tend to migrate and require more maintenance; they are better for decorative beds or low-traffic areas.

A typical 1-car driveway (about 12 ft x 20 ft) at 4 inches depth needs roughly 3 cubic yards, or about 4 to 5 tons; allow a 10-20% extra for compaction and slope so order about 5 to 6 tons. A 2-car driveway (about 20 ft x 20 ft) at 4 inches needs about 5 cubic yards, or about 7 to 8 tons; with compaction and slope plan on 8 to 10 tons. Adjust these numbers for longer driveways or deeper bases.

Yes. Even though Bernice is not in an extreme freeze-thaw zone, winter freeze and spring rains can cause settling and washouts if drainage and base are insufficient. Good slope grading, edge restraint, and drainage features (swales or French drains) reduce washouts and prolong surface life.

Gravel is the lowest-cost upfront option and is easy to repair, but it requires regular maintenance. Crushed asphalt offers a firmer, lower-maintenance surface than loose gravel and can be cost-effective for driveways. Concrete is the most durable and low-maintenance long term but has the highest initial cost and may require permits or thicker subgrades on clay soils near Grand Lake.

Basic site prep—grading, minor excavation, and compaction—typically runs in the ballpark of $0.75 to $2.50 per square foot depending on complexity and slope. Adding geotextile fabric or heavier base work raises costs; fabric often adds $0.15 to $0.50 per square foot and contractor-applied compaction and fine grading may add labor charges. Prices vary with local contractor rates and how much fill or demolition is needed.

Permit requirements vary by locality; many rural properties in Delaware County do not require a specific driveway surface permit, but towns or HOAs can have rules restricting visible gravel or specifying materials. Check with Delaware County planning and any HOA or neighborhood covenants before ordering to avoid rework.

Most residential gravel driveways in Bernice benefit from a light regrade annually and a top-up of 0.5 to 1 inch of material every 1 to 3 years depending on traffic and weather. Material top-ups cost roughly the delivered material price (about $35 to $65 per ton) plus any contractor labor if you hire regrading or compacting services, which can range from $100 to several hundred dollars for small jobs.

On clay soils or near lakefront properties in Bernice, use a thicker, well-compacted base: 6 to 8 inches of crusher-run or compactable road base topped with 2 to 3 inches of wearing gravel. Install geotextile fabric between native soil and base to limit mixing, and include perimeter drains, swales, or a shallow French drain where water pools to protect the base from saturation.

Many gravel deliveries to Bernice use tri-axle dump trucks that carry several tons; these trucks need adequate turning radius, driveway strength, and clearance. Some local roads, private bridges, or tight lakefront lanes may have posted weight or width limits, so flag any access issues in your order notes and coordinate with customer service to avoid failed deliveries or extra charges.

Screened gravel has fines and oversized pieces removed for a more uniform particle size, which helps with compaction and finish appearance; washed gravel has silt and clay removed to improve drainage. Washed or screened products are typically 10% to 30% more expensive than unwashed, unscreened material and may be less available seasonally in the Bernice area due to regional supplier inventories.
