Gravel delivery in Kansas, OK

Delivered gravel prices in Kansas, OK vary by type but typically run about $30 to $50 per ton for common crushed limestone or base mixes, $35 to $70 per ton for pea gravel, and $50 to $90 per ton for larger river rock. A good rule of thumb is roughly 1.4 tons per cubic yard, so expect about $42 to $70 per cubic yard for common crushed stone and proportionally higher for decorative rocks. Prices depend on exact material, distance from the quarry, and season, so check your zip code on our site for an exact quote.

For driveways local contractors typically recommend crusher run or 3/4u0022 crushed limestone as a compactible base and a layer of 3/8u0022 to 3/4u0022 crushed stone or pea gravel for the driving surface. For drainage, 1u0022 to 2u0022 clean gravel or river rock is commonly used around French drains and pipe trenches because it promotes water flow. If you need DOT-spec mixes for county roads or permits, request that spec at checkout so suppliers can match local requirements.

Use this formula: cubic yards = (length in feet x width in feet x depth in inches) / 324. For example, a 12 ft by 50 ft driveway at 4 inches deep needs about (12 x 50 x 4) / 324 = 7.4 cubic yards, which is roughly 10 to 11 tons using a 1.4 tons/yd conversion. Order 5% to 10% extra to allow for compaction, grading, and waste, and confirm minimum order quantities when you checkout.

Hello Gravel requires a minimum order of 3 tons on our platform, but some local quarries or haulers in West Oklahoma may have higher minimums for remote deliveries or specialty rock. Standard delivery is 2+ business days, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Deliveries arrive by dump truck (often tri-axle); you can request tailgate spreading at checkout but drivers perform spreading only at their discretion.

Match the gravel size to the job: 3/4u0022 crushed stone and crusher run for driveways and bases; pea gravel for patios, walkways, and light-duty surfaces; 1u0022–2u0022 river rock for drainage and decorative beds; and screenings or fines for paver bedding or filling joints. Consider load and traffic: heavier vehicles need a compactible base (crusher run and compaction) while decorative areas can use looser materials. Always account for local clay and freeze-thaw conditions when picking particle size and compaction needs.

Heavy Oklahoma clay holds water and can cause rutting if gravel is placed directly on poor subgrade. Excavate to a stable subgrade, add a compactible base (crusher run) and compact in lifts, and consider a geotextile fabric to separate clay from the gravel. For drainage, slope surfaces away from structures and use larger clean stone around drainage pipes or swales to encourage water flow.

Decorative materials such as river rock and larger landscape stone usually cost more than base rock; in the Kansas, OK area expect pea gravel or decorative stone to be roughly 15% to 60% higher than basic crushed stone depending on size and color. Factors that increase cost include quarry availability, hauling distance, and loading requirements. For an exact delivered price we recommend checking your zip code on our site or requesting a quote.

Because Hello Gravel sources regionally, texture and color will reflect local geology in and around Kansas, OK, and may differ from stock photos.

Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading as a courtesy, but this is optional and done at the driver's discretion based on safety and equipment. Request spreading in Order Notes at checkout so the driver is aware, and plan for additional equipment or labor if you need precise grading or compaction. For best results have access to the drop area and clear instructions for the driver before delivery.

Inspect the load at delivery and take photos if anything looks incorrect. Contact Hello Gravel customer service right away so we can work with the supplier to resolve the issue and advise on next steps according to our policies.
