Decomposed Granite
Known for its natural look, this compact, durable material drains well and holds up in high-traffic areas. Made from crushed and weathered granite down to a mix of fine gravel and sand—best for patios, paths, driveways, and landscape projects. Can range in color from light brown and tan to reddish and gray, depending on the natural stone color in the region.
Walkway Gravel
A smaller ⅜” crushed stone that is great for paths, patios, and garden walkways. Comfortable under foot thanks to its smaller size, and creates a beautiful garden-like atmosphere.
Road Base
(Class 5 | ABC | Crusher Run) A mixture of crushed limestone or granite, gravel, and sand, ranging from 1 ½” in size down to fines (small particles). Commonly used for constructing roads, driveway bases, parking lots, and other paved and unpaved surfaces. Intended to be compacted, hence the inclusion of fines within the material to provide support and be resistant to erosion and shifting.

Frequently Asked Questions - Oak Creek gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Oak Creek.
One cubic yard of loose gravel typically covers about 100 square feet at 1 inch depth, about 50 square feet at 2 inches, and about 25-30 square feet at 4 inches. For typical Oak Creek projects like walkways or thin driveways, plan on 2-4 inches of material and factor in compaction (you may need 5-10% more). Use our material calculator or contact Hello Gravel for a precise estimate based on your dimensions.
57 gravel is a common crushed stone about 3/4 inch in size and is good for driveways and drainage; 67 is a smaller, finer mix often under 3/8 to 1/2 inch and is better for base under pavers or for tighter compaction. In Oak Creek, suppliers often stock both, so pick 57 for a durable driving surface and 67 when you need a compactable base or smoother finish.
The main options youll see locally are crushed stone (angular rock for driveways and bases), pea gravel (small rounded stones for patios and decorative areas), river rock (larger, smooth stones for beds and drainage), and decomposed granite or crusher fines (fine, compactable surface material). Regional quarries around Oak Creek mean color and texture can vary, so request photos or a sample if appearance matters.
Very fine gravel is commonly called crusher fines, screenings, or stone dust. It compacts to form a firm surface, so its useful for pathways, compacted patios, or as a paver bedding layer, but it can wash in heavy rains, so consider drainage in Oak Creeks seasonal storms.
Costs vary by material, quantity, and delivery distance; in Oak Creek expect a wide range per ton depending on type. A typical tri-axle dump truck holds about 10-12 tons, so a truckload might run from a few hundred to several hundred dollars. For an accurate price, enter your zip code on Hello Gravel and request a quote that includes delivery and any fees.
Cost depends on driveway width, depth, and material. For example, a 20 ft long by 12 ft wide driveway is 240 sq ft; at 3 inches depth youd need roughly 0.75 cubic yards, and material plus delivery for that amount could range from a couple hundred dollars upward. For Oak Creek-specific pricing and exact quantities, use Hello Gravels calculator or get a local quote.
Some full-size pickup beds can hold a loose cubic yard volume-wise, but gravel is heavy: roughly 2,400-2,900 lb per cubic yard (about 1.2-1.45 tons) depending on type. Most pickups have lower payload limits, so hauling even one cubic yard can exceed safe capacity. We recommend ordering dump-truck delivery through Hello Gravel (minimum 3 tons) for safety and convenience.
A layered approach works best: a compacted base of class 5 or similar crushed base, topped with 3/4" crushed stone (often sold as 57) or crusher run for a firm driving surface. In drier Oak Creek areas decomposed granite or stabilized gravel can be used for a lower-profile look, but for regular vehicle traffic stick with crushed stone and proper compaction.
Prices depend on local availability, but crushed stone (produced at local quarries) is often less expensive per ton than rounded river gravel, which can cost more to source and transport. Because Oak Creek materials reflect nearby geology, check Hello Gravel quotes for current local pricing to know which option is cheaper for your job.
Typically recycled materials (crushed concrete), pit-run stone, or screenings used as base material are the least expensive options. They work well for base layers, driveways, or drainage where appearance is not critical, but finish and performance differ from decorative gravels used in Oak Creek landscaping.
Class 5 refers to a dense-graded base material commonly specified by local public works and used as a foundation under driveways and roads. It contains a mix of sizes and fines so it compacts well; use it in Oak Creek as the structural base layer before installing a finished gravel surface to improve stability and drainage.
Gravel itself doesnt turn into concrete, but crusher fines mixed with a stabilizer (polymer or a small amount of cement) can set up into a firm, semi-rigid surface often sold as stabilized gravel. For Oak Creek projects that need a hard, low-dust surface, ask suppliers about stabilized mixes or paver systems that lock gravel in place.
Cheaper alternatives include wood mulch, recycled crushed concrete, or native decomposed granite, depending on the look and function you want. Each option has trade-offs for drainage, durability, and maintenance in Oak Creeks climate, so choose based on use (paths vs. driveways) and budget.
#1 gravel is a large crushed stone mix with pieces up to about 2 1/2 inches and a range of smaller sizes; its used in heavy construction, drainage fields, and large base layers. It looks rough and angular and is not typically used as a finished surface; its best for structural or drainage purposes around Oak Creek properties.
Type 2 (or similar subbase mixes) is a graded crushed rock with a mix of sizes that compacts well and provides structural support for driveways and roads. Visually its a mix of angular stones and fines rather than smooth decorative rock, making it a common choice in Oak Creek for base layers under paving or gravel surfaces.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.
