Gravel in Norman, OK

One ton of gravel covers roughly 80-100 square feet at 1 inch depth, or about 20-25 square feet at 4 inches. Norman's local gravel (which can be heavier or lighter depending on stone type) could shift those numbers slightly, so use our material calculator or order a little extra to allow for compaction and grading.

For a residential driveway in Norman, plan on 4-6 inches of compacted crushed gravel over a well-drained subbase for passenger cars, and 6-8 inches for heavier trucks. Because Norman soils can be clayey and hold moisture, adding a compacted aggregate base and ensuring drainage will help prevent rutting.

For walkways and patios in Norman, 3/8" to 3/4" crushed gravel or decomposed granite provides a stable, comfortable surface. Choose angular crushed stone for better interlock; rounded river rock can be attractive but shifts more and requires edging and containment.

A clean, washed 3/4"-1" crushed stone or pea gravel is commonly used for French drains and drainage trenches around Norman homes. Washed stone resists clogging from clay soils found in the area; add filter fabric where soil fines are an issue to extend drain life.

Type 4 (sometimes called 'crushed stone #4') generally refers to angular 1/4"-3/8" crushed stone used for bedding and finishing surfaces. It can be used in Norman for pathways or as a top dressing, but confirm exact local supplier naming since regional terms vary by quarry.

For garden beds and xeriscaping in Norman (USDA zone 7), use finer gravel like 1/4" to 3/8" decorative rock to suppress weeds, aid drainage, and retain heat for warm-season plants. Leave a thin mulch layer or organic layer near plant roots and avoid piling rock directly against stems to prevent moisture issues in hot, humid summers.

Order gravel in spring through fall when ground is dry and trucks can access the site; Norman's hot summers are fine for installation but plan early mornings to avoid heat. Avoid heavy rain periods—spring storms and late fall freezes can complicate delivery and compaction.

A rough estimate: for a 10' x 20' patio at 3 inches deep, order about 1.5 tons; at 4 inches you’ll need around 2 tons. Use our calculator or call our team with exact dimensions and preferred depth—Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum order, so bundle smaller projects or add decorative rock to meet the minimum.

Because Hello Gravel sources materials locally, color and texture reflect Norman's regional geology and can vary from online photos. We recommend noting color preferences at checkout and ordering a small sample if precise appearance is important; natural variation is normal and expected.

Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion and should be requested at checkout, but there are no guarantees. On narrow lots or when obstacles are present common in Norman neighborhoods, the driver will assess safety and may decline spreading.

Norman's clay-rich soils and seasonal heavy rains can cause settling and migration of fine materials, so proper base preparation and good drainage are important. In summer heat, light-colored gravels reflect heat better, while darker gravels can retain warmth and may affect plantings and comfort.

Contact Hello Gravel as soon as possible to request changes or cancellations; we make best-effort accommodations before the order is processed or dispatched. Because we coordinate with local suppliers and haulers, changes after dispatch may be limited and could incur fees.

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.
