Hello Gravel connects you with regional suppliers and haulers that serve Buffalo and surrounding West Oklahoma towns; specific supplier names vary by zip code. Most suppliers we work with have a 3-ton minimum order (our platform minimum) and some local farms or landscapers may require larger loads for delivery. If you need less than the minimum, consider pickup options or ordering blended deliveries with neighbors.

1,000 sq ft at 2 inches equals about 6.17 cubic yards of topsoil. Topsoil weight varies with moisture, but expect roughly 7 to 9 tons for that volume; we recommend ordering at least 8 tons to allow for settling and waste. Use our material calculator to get a precise quote based on local soil weight assumptions.

No; topsoil is not suitable as a structural surface for driveways or roads because it compacts and erodes and does not provide load-bearing support. For Buffalo driveways, use a compacted base of crushed stone or road base topped with a wearing surface like crushed rock; reserve topsoil for lawns and planting beds only. Adding a proper base greatly extends driveway life and reduces maintenance.

Topsoil used for lawns and garden beds can last for many years but will need annual care like mulching, top-dressing, and occasional amendments to maintain fertility. In Buffalo's hot summers and variable rainfall, expect to add organic matter and fertilizer periodically and repair thin spots after heavy rains. Surface topsoil used as a non-planted covering will erode faster and may need replenishing every 1-3 years depending on exposure.

Topsoil helps establish vegetation, which is the long-term solution for erosion control, but it does not provide immediate stabilization on steep or high-flow slopes. Crushed rock or riprap provides instant erosion protection for channels and steep slopes, while a combination of a rock apron with seeded topsoil upslope often works best in West Oklahoma. Choose topsoil where growth is desired and rock where structural stabilization is required.

Local rules vary—Buffalo city ordinances and any neighborhood HOA may have requirements about visible materials, slope grading, drainage, and driveway standards. There are typically no bans on using topsoil for lawns, but using it as a driveway surface may violate local road or HOA standards. Contact Buffalo city hall, McCurtain County planning, or your HOA before major changes to confirm specific rules.

Look for screened, loamy topsoil with 5-10% organic matter that balances moisture retention and drainage for Oklahoma's clay-sandy transition zones. Avoid heavy, unamended clay topsoil that stays compacted; instead choose a mix with some sand and compost or ask suppliers for 'screened loam' or 'garden topsoil' tailored to local conditions. You can add compost at installation to improve structure and fertility in Buffalo yards.

Yes—wet spring conditions and freeze-thaw in late winter can make sites muddy and limit safe delivery and spreading, while hot summer weeks can increase dust and drying. The best windows are late spring after soils dry but before peak heat, and early fall when temperatures moderate; order at least 2 business days ahead for standard delivery or by noon CST for next-day options. If your site is wet or frozen, expect the driver to assess safety and potential delays.

Topsoil is not a durable driveway material, so installing a proper crushed-stone base is recommended if you want a functional, low-maintenance driveway. Adding a base increases upfront cost but reduces long-term maintenance, rutting, and regrading—making it a cost-effective choice for driveways in Buffalo's variable climate. Use topsoil only at edges or for seeding adjacent lawns, not as the main surface.

As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.
