Gravel delivery in New Tulsa, OK

In the Tulsa/Oklahoma City metro serving New Tulsa, expect a delivered range of roughly $150 to $600 per truckload depending on material type, truck size, and distance. Lighter, washed decorative gravels are toward the higher end, while basic crushed stone is toward the lower end; delivery fees, minimum orders, and seasonal demand cause variation. Hello Gravel requires a minimum order of 3 tons and offers standard delivery in 2+ business days with next-day available for orders placed before noon CST.

Local quarries, landscape suppliers, and aggregate haulers serving the Tulsa/Oklahoma City metro commonly deliver to New Tulsa, but exact vendors depend on your zip code. Typical minimums are 3 tons or about 1 to 2 cubic yards for many suppliers; Hello Gravel also has a 3-ton minimum. Delivery may be free in some areas or run from about $50 to $150+ for longer hauls, so check your address in checkout or call our team to get supplier-specific fees.

Coverage depends on truck volume; tri-axle dump trucks commonly carry 10 to 14 cubic yards. A 10-yd^3 truck covers about 3,240 sq ft at 1u0022, 1,620 sq ft at 2u0022, and 1,080 sq ft at 3u0022. A 14-yd^3 truck covers about 4,536 sq ft at 1u0022, 2,268 sq ft at 2u0022, and 1,512 sq ft at 3u0022.

For Oklahoma soils and typical driveway traffic, 2u0022 of top-layer gravel is thin and will rut or wash out faster; 3u0022 is a reasonable minimum for a low-traffic residential driveway, while 4u0022 provides better durability. For best performance you should pair a 3–4u0022 wearing layer with a compacted aggregate base (4–6u0022), especially for vehicles or clay-prone soils common in the region.

Costs vary by width, depth, material, and whether you hire labor. For a modest 20' long by 10' wide driveway with a 3u0022 top layer, material plus delivery through the Tulsa/Oklahoma City metro typically ranges from about $200 to $700; adding basic spreading or compaction by a contractor can push the total to $400 to $1,200. Prices rise if you need a crushed-stone base, more depth, or premium decorative gravel.

You can place gravel directly on compacted earth for short-term or very light-use paths, but for driveways or long-term performance in New Tulsa's variable soils we recommend a geotextile fabric plus a compacted crushed-stone subbase. Adding a 4u0022 compacted base and geotextile increases material and labor but greatly reduces washouts and rutting; expect roughly 25% to 100% more material volume and extra labor for compaction and fabric installation depending on the project size.

Terminology varies by region, but generally mixes labeled for base (often called '2A' or 'crusher run') include a range of sizes plus fines that compact well, while washed gravels and larger stone mixes have fewer fines and are better as a surface dressing. For durability in Oklahoma, use a compactable crushed-stone base (the mix with fines) for the subbase and a 3/4u0022 or similar sized washed gravel for the wearing surface so you get compaction below and a stable, drivable top layer.

A 20' x 20' (400 sq ft) area requires about 3.7 cubic yards (roughly 5 to 6 tons) for a 3u0022 layer and about 4.9 cubic yards (roughly 7 to 8.5 tons) for a 4u0022 layer. Most tri-axle trucks carry 10 to 14 cubic yards, so a single truckload is usually enough for that size driveway; order sizes may still be constrained by minimums (Hello Gravel minimum is 3 tons). If you add a 4–6u0022 crushed-stone base, plan for roughly another 5 to 8 cubic yards depending on thickness.

Local rules vary: some municipalities allow gravel driveways without permits while others or specific HOAs have design, material, or curbside rules that must be followed. For New Tulsa addresses check city code and your HOA documents before installation, and verify street weight or parking restrictions that could affect large delivery trucks. If in doubt, contact our team and we can help advise next steps or recommend verifying with city or HOA offices.

Some local suppliers and independent contractors offer spreading and compaction as add-on services, but rates vary by crew size and job complexity. Expect tailgate or limited spreading fees from drivers for small jobs (often $25 to $150) and contractor-performed spreading/compaction for full installs typically running $150 to $600 or more depending on area and finish required. Hello Gravel allows you to request tailgate spreading at checkout, but drivers perform spreading at their discretion and we recommend hiring a local contractor for guaranteed spreading and compaction.
