For a 20 x 20 ft driveway (400 sq ft), a common build is 4 inches of compacted base plus 2 inches of surface stone. That layout requires about 6.9 tons for the 4u0022 base and about 3.5 tons for the 2u0022 surface, roughly 10.4 tons total. Always order 10-15% extra to allow for compaction, grading, and spillage, and remember Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum.

Both can work in Central Oklahoma City, but they perform differently: crushed limestone tends to bind and compact well, making a stable surface, while angular crushed stone (granite or trap rock) offers strong interlock and durability. Limestone can be dustier and lighter in color; angular stone resists rutting under traffic. Choose based on budget, desired look, and whether you prefer a binding surface (limestone) or a looser, highly drained surface (angular stone).

Yes—stone itself is durable in hot summers and occasional freeze-thaw, but performance depends on installation and drainage. Properly compacted base, good slope for runoff, and adequate thickness prevent settling, washouts, and frost heave. Lighter, fine materials can migrate or become dusty in heat, so pick the right gradation and maintenance plan for your project.

For flower beds, homeowners in Central Oklahoma City commonly use 3/8u0022 to 3/4u0022 decorative crushed stone or pea gravel for a tidy look and good drainage. Lighter colors can keep roots cooler in summer, while darker stone heats up more—consider plant needs. Install 1-2 inches over landscape fabric and leave some soil exposed near stems to avoid crown rot.

Hello Gravel arranges delivery of stone with local suppliers and haulers nationwide, including Central Oklahoma City, but we do not provide guaranteed installation. Drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion if requested at checkout, but this is not a guaranteed service. Installation costs (grading, base prep, compaction, and spreading) are charged separately by local contractors and vary widely—request local contractor bids for firm pricing and use Hello Gravel for material quotes and delivery scheduling.

With a proper base and drainage, a stone driveway can function well for 10 to 25 years before major reconstruction is needed; pathways and lightly used areas may last longer. However, surface stone often requires topping up every 2 to 5 years because of settling, traffic, and weather-related movement. Regular maintenance like raking, occasional replenishment, and keeping drainage clear will extend the service interval.

Many local suppliers sell stone both by the cubic yard and by the ton; Hello Gravel typically lists prices per ton and shows the minimum order (3 tons). Product units can vary by supplier and stone type, so confirm the measurement and delivered weight during checkout or when you request a quote. We can help you convert between cubic yards and tons for planning if you provide the product and depth desired.

Stone can be more durable than mulch or turf for erosion control on slopes, especially when combined with geotextile fabric, terracing, or retaining edges to slow runoff. However, loose stone can accelerate surface runoff if not installed with proper slope management and drainage features. For steep or high-runoff areas, consider engineered erosion control (terraces, check dams, or anchored stone) and consult a local landscaper for the best solution.

Yes—a compacted base (typically 4 to 6 inches of crushed rock or limestone fines) is recommended for driveways to prevent rutting and settling. Adding a compacted base increases material quantities (plan on an extra 1-3 tons per 100 sq ft depending on depth) and may add contractor or equipment costs for compaction. Hello Gravel supplies the material, and local contractors can quote labor and compaction equipment fees for your specific driveway.
