The most common driveway choices in the area are 3/4" crushed limestone (good for compaction and traction), crushed stone base with a finer top dressing, and pea gravel or river rock for low-traffic decorative drives. Crushed limestone is preferred in much of West Oklahoma because it compacts well on clay soils and resists washout better than loose, rounded stone.

Byng experiences hot summers, occasional freezes, and heavy rain events, so you want a material that compacts and sheds water. Angular crushed stone (like crushed limestone) locks together and resists rutting after rains, while rounded gravels (pea gravel) can migrate and rut more easily. Plan for good drainage and a compacted base to handle the freeze-thaw and heavy rain common in the region.

Many yards near Byng have clay-rich or silty topsoils that hold water and reduce drainage, which can cause gravel to sink or mix with subsoil without a proper base. Use a compacted crushed-stone base and consider geotextile fabric to separate gravel from clay and improve stability. Adding a crown (slight center slope) also helps water run off instead of pooling into the gravel.

A good rule for typical crushed stone is: 1 ton covers about 240 square feet at 1 inch depth. In other words, tons needed = (area in sq ft * depth in inches) / 240. For a 12x24 ft area at 2 inches, for example, you would need roughly (288 * 2) / 240 = 2.4 tons, then round up for compaction and waste.

Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum order and delivers by contracted dump truck fleets. Standard delivery is 2+ business days with next-day available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee; same-day delivery is uncommon but may be possible through local suppliers depending on availability. Delivery fees vary by distance and supplier; many orders in nearby areas qualify for free delivery but confirm pricing at checkout.

Excavate to remove topsoil, install geotextile fabric if your soil is clayey, place and compact a 4" to 6" crushed-stone base, then add a 2" to 3" wearing layer of smaller crushed stone. Create a crown for drainage and use edging or metal/stone borders to keep material in place. Compact each layer with a plate compactor or roller and inspect after major storms to fix ruts promptly.

Expect light maintenance each year—grading low spots and filling washouts after heavy rains—and plan to add 1" to 2" of fresh gravel every 2 to 5 years depending on traffic and weather. Major replenishment of the top layer may be needed every 7 to 15 years for a well-built driveway. Regular maintenance is the key to extending lifespan in Oklahoma's variable weather.

Gravel has the lowest upfront cost and is easiest to install, but it requires ongoing maintenance and periodic replenishment. Asphalt and concrete have higher initial costs but lower routine maintenance and longer service lives; pavers are the most expensive upfront and require good base work but offer a finished look. In rural Byng, gravel is often the most practical choice when budget and flexibility are priorities, while asphalt or concrete are better for higher-traffic or low-maintenance needs.

Local rules vary: many rural properties in Pontotoc County allow gravel driveways without a permit, but some municipalities, HOAs, or specific zoning districts may have restrictions on materials, curb cuts, or drainage. Before you install, contact the City of Byng, Pontotoc County planning or building department, or your HOA to confirm any permit or material requirements. Checking ahead helps avoid rework or fines.

Using a well-graded, angular crushed stone that compacts tightly and adding fines in the top layer reduces dust and limits washboarding. Proper compaction, periodic grading to maintain crown, and keeping vegetation trimmed for airflow also help. In dusty areas you can apply a dust-control product or a light sealant, but consult local suppliers for products suitable for our climate.
