Gravel in Comanche, OK

Comanche sees hot summers, occasional freezes, and heavy rain events that influence drainage and erosion. Gravel performs well for drainage but can wash out or rut after heavy storms if not installed with proper base and grade. Local clay soils can hold water and cause settling, so good subgrade preparation and compaction are important for longevity.

Suppliers in West Oklahoma commonly offer crushed limestone (#57 and 3/4"), pea gravel, river rock, and screenings (crusher run). Typical delivered price ranges for the area are roughly $20 to $60 per ton depending on type, size, and distance; decorative river rock and larger sizes sit at the higher end while screenings are cheaper. Prices vary by supplier and season, so check Hello Gravel for current local quotes.

One cubic yard covers about 324 sq ft at 1 inch depth, so it covers about 108 sq ft at a 3-inch depth. A cubic yard of gravel typically weighs about 1.4 tons (range roughly 1.2 to 1.7 tons), so a 240 sq ft driveway at 3 inches needs about 2.2 cubic yards or roughly 3 to 3.5 tons. For driveways we usually recommend 3 to 4 inches of compacted base plus a 1-2 inch wearing course, so plan accordingly and use Hello Gravel's calculator to confirm.

Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons, and deliveries are made by local dump trucks (often tri-axle). In many nearby areas standard delivery may be free or low cost, but rural deliveries to Comanche can incur additional fees for distance, off-route travel, or tight access; expect rural surcharges commonly from about $25 up to $150 in extreme cases. Requesting next-day delivery, tailgate spreading, or very specific drop locations can add fees, so review charges at checkout or contact our team for an exact quote.

Local rules vary: some properties need a county or city permit for driveway connections to public roads, culvert installation, or changes to drainage. If you are in an HOA check covenants for permitted surfacing, setback, and appearance rules before ordering. Contact Comanche city hall or Comanche County planning, and check any HOA documents to confirm requirements before delivery.

Gravel has the lowest upfront cost and is quick to install, but it requires regular maintenance such as regrading and topping up every few years and can rut after heavy rains. Asphalt and concrete cost significantly more up front but need less frequent routine care and usually offer a longer useful life when properly installed. In Comanche's seasonal rains and occasional freeze-thaw cycles, a well-built gravel driveway can perform well if you prioritize drainage and maintenance; paved options perform better long term but at higher initial cost.

For driveways use a layered approach: a compacted base of 3/4" minus (crusher run) for stability, topped with 3/4" clean crushed stone or #57 for traction and drainage. Screenings (fines) are useful for locking edges and for short-term patching but do not substitute for a proper base. Pea gravel and river rock are popular for landscaping and paths because they look nice, but they shift more easily and are not ideal as the only wearing surface for vehicle traffic.

Remove vegetation, shape proper slope for water runoff, and install a stable subgrade; where possible place and compact a crushed base (crusher run) and use geotextile fabric on soft soils to limit mixing with underlying clay. Provide edge restraint to keep gravel contained and ensure good drainage with ditches or culverts to prevent washouts during heavy rain. Proper compaction after delivery and periodic maintenance—regrading and adding material—will significantly extend the surface life.

Deliveries arrive by dump truck and drivers place material in a single pile unless you purchase spreading; tailgate spreading is available at the driver’s discretion and may be requested at checkout, but Hello Gravel does not guarantee spreading. Make sure the drop area is accessible, clear of obstacles, and that you note any placement preferences in the order notes. If spreading is important, arrange for a local contractor or discuss options with our team when ordering.

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

We cannot get out of the truck and manually spread it. However, depending on the location, safety, and comfortability of the driver – we may be able to tailgate spread your material. This involves pulling the truck forward as material is being dumped to make it easier for you to distribute material after delivery.

The minimum order size is 3 tons.
