Gravel in Tulsa, OK

Truckload cost in Tulsa depends on material and size of the load. Expect a typical tri-axle truck (10-14 cubic yards) to run roughly $300 to $900, depending on whether you choose basic crusher run, decorative stone, or pea gravel, plus any delivery fee and spreading requests. For an exact price for your address and material, get a quote through Hello Gravel or contact local suppliers.

You can buy bulk gravel from local quarries, landscape supply yards, and online marketplaces like Hello Gravel that connect you to Tulsa-area suppliers. Check availability by zip code on Hello Gravel, or call local yards for material type, delivery, and minimum order (Hello Gravel minimum is 3 tons).

One cubic yard of gravel will cover about 81 square feet at a 4-inch depth. Use this quick formula to calculate yards needed: (area in sq ft x depth in inches) / 324. That accounts for compaction and gives a practical estimate for ordering in Tulsa's conditions.

Coverage depends on the truck and required depth. A typical tri-axle truck delivers about 10-14 cubic yards, which will cover roughly 800 to 1,100 square feet at a 4-inch depth. If you need a different finished depth, adjust with the formula (yards = (sq ft x depth inches) / 324).

No, 2 inches is generally too thin for a driveway in Tulsa, especially with the area's clay soils and seasonal rains. For a stable driveway surface, aim for 4 to 6 inches of compacted gravel over a well-prepared base, and consider thicker sections where vehicles turn or park. Adding a compacted subbase or geotextile fabric can improve longevity on Tulsa soils.

You can, but it is usually not recommended without preparation because dirt (especially Tulsa's clay) can mix with gravel and cause ruts and drainage problems. Best practice is to remove vegetation, grade and compact the subgrade, add a compacted subbase, and then place and compact your gravel. Consider a geotextile fabric to separate gravel from soft soils and improve drainage.

Cost depends on driveway width, depth, and material choice; a simple estimate requires square footage. For example, a 20 ft by 12 ft driveway is 240 sq ft; at 4 inches depth you need about 3 cubic yards of gravel. With Tulsa pricing, material plus delivery might run roughly $150 to $600 for that job, but get a quote from Hello Gravel for an exact price at your address and desired material.

2A (or 2A modified) is usually better for driveways because it contains fines that help the stone bind and compact, producing a firmer surface. 2B is coarser and drains better but may not compact as tightly. For Tulsa's climate and clay subsoils, many contractors prefer 2A for the driving surface and a coarser base beneath.

The cheapest bulk options in Tulsa tend to be bank run, crusher run, or local crushed stone because they are mined nearby and require less processing. Decorative gravels and washed pea gravel generally cost more. Hello Gravel can show local options and pricing so you can compare cost versus appearance and performance.

For a 10 ft by 10 ft area (100 sq ft), the cubic yards needed depend on depth: at 1 inch you need about 0.3 cubic yards, at 2 inches about 0.6 cubic yards, and at 4 inches about 1.2 cubic yards. Convert cubic yards to tons if needed: pea gravel roughly weighs 1.3 to 1.6 tons per cubic yard, depending on moisture and type.

Tonnage varies by truck and material, but a tri-axle dump truck in Tulsa commonly carries about 12 to 15 tons of gravel for medium-weight stone. For light materials or larger volumes (loose cubic yards) that number changes, so check with your supplier or Hello Gravel for the exact load weight and how it converts to cubic yards for your chosen material.

Some Tractor Supply stores carry bagged gravel, sand, and decorative stone, but they usually do not supply bulk truckloads. For bulk deliveries to a job site in Tulsa, use Hello Gravel or local landscape suppliers who can deliver by the truckload. Call the specific Tractor Supply location to confirm current inventory if you plan to buy bags.

Gravel is cheaper upfront than a concrete slab, but gravel requires regular maintenance and may need periodic top-ups, while concrete is more expensive initially but lasts longer with less routine work. Consider long-term use, drainage, and local freeze-thaw cycles in Tulsa when weighing costs; contractors can provide a local lifecycle cost comparison. If low initial cost and flexibility matter most, gravel is the usual choice.

Measure the length and width in feet and decide on the finished depth in inches, then use this formula: cubic yards = (length x width x depth in inches) / 324. Round up to account for compaction and waste, and remember Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons; contact us for help converting cubic yards to tons for your specific material.
