Gravel in Porter, OK

Local delivered prices vary by material, quantity, and distance from the quarry. As a ballpark, basic crushed limestone or road base in West Oklahoma often runs roughly $30-$55 per ton delivered, but rates change with supply and seasonal demand; get an exact quote by entering your zip code or contacting our team. Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum order and shows delivery fees and timing up front during checkout.

For driveways in West Oklahoma, angular crushed stone or a graded road base (crushed limestone or 3/4" minus) performs best because the angular particles lock together and compact well. Pea gravel looks nice but tends to shift and rut under vehicle traffic, so it is better for walkways or decorative top layers. Using a compacted base layer with a coarser top wearing course helps resist rutting in the local wet-dry cycles.

Using a typical conversion (about 1.4 tons per cubic yard), approximate needs for 1,000 sq ft are: 1" depth = 4.3 tons; 2" = 8.6 tons; 3" = 13.0 tons; 4" = 17.3 tons. These are estimates that vary with gravel density and type, so order a little extra for compaction and grading losses and confirm totals with our calculator at checkout.

Hello Gravel connects you with trusted local suppliers and haulers that serve Porter; available suppliers and exact fees appear after you enter your zip code when you shop. Minimums vary by hauler, but our platform minimum is 3 tons and some local quarries or contractors may have higher minimums for delivery. Delivery fees depend on distance, truck type, and access — request a quote in checkout or call our team for faster answers.

Porter's seasonal rains and occasional freeze-thaw cycles can cause washouts, settling, and rutting if drainage or base compaction is inadequate. A well-compacted road base, proper crown or cross-slope for runoff, and periodic regrading or topping (often yearly after heavy seasons) reduce problems. Consider geotextile fabric and good edge restraints to limit lateral movement during heavy rain events.

Local permitting and HOA rules can vary, so check with Porter city hall or your HOA before installing a gravel driveway or front-yard coverage. Some neighborhoods restrict front-yard materials, curb treatments, or require certain edging and drainage. If you need documentation or a product spec sheet for approval, contact our team and we can provide material details for your application.

Gravel is generally the most budget-friendly material for driveways: installed gravel (material plus basic grading) often runs roughly $1-$3 per sq ft, while asphalt is commonly $3-$6, concrete $4-$10, and pavers $8-$20 per sq ft. These are broad ranges that depend on base preparation, site access, drainage work, and labor; Hello Gravel supplies the material portion and you can add contractor installation estimates to compare total project costs.

Contractors in the region recommend installing a well-compacted base of angular road base (4"-6" compacted minimum), followed by a 1"-2" top layer of crushed stone for the wearing surface. Use a plate compactor or roller in multiple passes, install edge restraints, create a slight crown for drainage, and consider geotextile fabric to separate the base from native soils. Regular maintenance—occasional regrading and adding fresh stone—keeps dust and ruts down over time.

Hello Gravel schedules deliveries via local contracted dump trucks; standard delivery requires 2+ business days and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. You can request tailgate spreading at checkout, but drivers perform spreading only at their discretion based on safety and site conditions, so spreading is not guaranteed. Provide clear delivery notes and a good access point to make delivery smoother.

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.
