Gravel in Spavinaw, OK

In and around Spavinaw you’ll commonly find crushed limestone, chert (hard, angular stone), river rock, and pea gravel. Regional quarries often supply mixes with a reddish or tan tint reflecting local geology. Availability can vary, so check our site for what local suppliers currently stock.

Use this simple formula: cubic yards = (area in square feet x depth in inches) / 324. As a rule of thumb, one cubic yard of typical crushed gravel weighs about 1.2 to 1.4 tons, so multiply cubic yards by 1.3 to estimate tons. For example, a 12-by-50-foot driveway at 3 inches deep needs about 5.6 cubic yards, roughly 7 to 8 tons.

Prices vary by material and distance, but in small Oklahoma towns you can typically expect delivered gravel to run roughly $25 to $55 per ton (about $30 to $70 per cubic yard). Costs rise for special decorative stone, long haul distances, or next-day delivery. For exact pricing and available materials, check your zip code on Hello Gravel or request a quote.

Freeze-thaw cycles in winter can cause frost heave and potholes if the base is weak, while heavy summer heat stresses edges and can increase dust on unbound surfaces. Proper compaction, good drainage, and a firm base reduce these seasonal effects. Plan for occasional regrading after wet seasons and add fresh stone as needed.

For driveways, a common choice is 3/4" crushed stone with fines (often called 3/4" minus) over a larger base of 1-2" crushed rock for stability. For drainage ditches and French drains, clean washed stone like 3/4" clean or 1" clean (no fines) is best. Pea gravel or decorative river rock works well for paths and beds but should be used with edging and fabric to control migration.

Rural Spavinaw properties often have fewer HOA restrictions, but you should check for any neighborhood covenants and get any driveway permits required by Cherokee County or the state DOT for road access. If your property is near a township-maintained road, confirm setback and sight-line requirements. When in doubt, contact local county offices before ordering large quantities.

Most gravel driveways need light maintenance once a year and heavier regrading or fresh stone every 1 to 3 years depending on traffic and soil. In clay soils or areas with seasonal rains common in northeastern Oklahoma, expect more frequent grading and occasional additional stone. Routine maintenance costs vary but plan for modest annual expenses for grading or adding a half to one inch of stone to high-traffic areas.

Gravel is the lowest-cost upfront option, provides good drainage, and is easy to repair with local materials, making it popular for rural Spavinaw properties. Asphalt and concrete last longer with less frequent upkeep but have higher installation cost and require a proper base and drainage; they can also need permits. Choose gravel if budget and flexibility are priorities, or paving if you want a lower-maintenance sealed surface and can afford the higher cost.

Hello Gravel partners with local quarries and haulers in the region to deliver materials by dump truck, typically tri-axle. Delivery radius in rural areas can range from 20 to 50 miles depending on supplier location and availability, and our minimum order is 3 tons. Enter your zip code on our site to see local stock, delivery windows (standard 2+ business days or next-day if available), and pricing for your address.

Yes, geotextile fabric helps separate gravel from underlying clay soils and reduces mixing and rutting, especially important around Spavinaw where soil can be sticky when wet. Edging (landscape timbers, steel, or concrete borders) keeps stone in place and preserves driveway shape, while mechanical compaction improves load-bearing and reduces migration. These add-ons increase longevity and are commonly purchased with gravel deliveries.

Homeowners often request tailgate spreading (subject to driver discretion), placement guidance on where to dump, and notes about driveway access or obstacles. Many also add compaction, geotextile fabric, and edging materials through local contractors after delivery. Because tailgate spreading is not guaranteed, specify spreading requests at checkout and plan for a compacting pass if you want a finished surface.

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