For most St. Ratford driveways, crushed limestone or crusher run are the best choices because they compact well and resist rutting. Pea gravel is attractive but shifts more under traffic and needs edging or a stabilizer in freeze-thaw and clay-prone areas. Choose a coarser base (crusher run) with a finer wearing layer (¾" crushed) for the most durable finish.

As a rule of thumb, a 20 ft x 40 ft two-car driveway (800 sq ft) will need about 10 tons at 3" depth, about 13 tons at 4" depth, and about 20 tons at 6" depth. Widths, lengths, and desired compaction change those numbers, so measure the exact area and depth you want. Remember Hello Gravel's 3-ton minimum when ordering.

Clay soils hold water and expand/contract during freeze-thaw cycles, which can cause washouts, settling, and potholes in gravel driveways. In St. Ratford, plan for extra base thickness, good drainage, and proper compaction; consider a geotextile fabric to separate clay from the gravel. Proper grading and runoff control are essential to minimize rapid deterioration.

Hello Gravel sources materials from local suppliers and quarries, so delivered gravel usually reflects West Oklahoma geology and color. Typical delivery radii for local haulers run 20 to 50 miles, but availability and fees vary by supplier. Enter your zip code at checkout to see nearby suppliers, delivery windows, and any out-of-area surcharges.

Material-only costs for a basic gravel French drain or driveway base in the St. Ratford area are often $30 to $60 per ton for the gravel, plus pipe and fittings if needed; overall material cost for a simple French drain can be $10 to $30 per linear foot. Installed prices including excavation, pipe, and labor typically run higher, often $25 to $75 per linear foot depending on site conditions. Ask Hello Gravel for material-only quotes and get local contractor estimates for full installation.

Expect routine maintenance like grading and filling low spots once or twice a year, with a top-up of 1 to 3 inches of fresh gravel every 1 to 3 years depending on traffic. Material costs for a top-up in the St. Ratford area commonly run $30 to $60 per ton delivered; labor or machine grading is extra. Good initial compaction and drainage reduce long-term maintenance costs.

Gravel has the lowest upfront cost, often around $1 to $3 per sq ft for material and basic spreading, but requires more frequent maintenance; lifespan with upkeep is 5 to 20 years. Asphalt costs are higher, roughly $3 to $7 per sq ft with a lifespan around 15 to 25 years, while concrete is typically $6 to $12 per sq ft and lasts 25 to 40 years. In rural St. Ratford settings, gravel is a cost-effective, permeable choice but asphalt or concrete give longer low-maintenance life for heavier use.

Local rules vary: many small Oklahoma municipalities require permits for driveway work that affects curbs, county roads, or stormwater, and some HOAs have surface or aesthetic restrictions. Contact St. Ratford city or county public works and review your HOA guidelines before ordering. Hello Gravel can supply delivery and material info, but permit approval and HOA compliance are the customer's responsibility.

Permeable gravel can be effective for managing runoff in West Oklahoma if installed with a proper base, geotextile, and sufficient depth to hold stormwater. It works best on well-drained soils and for lower-traffic areas; heavy storms may still require overflow controls or retention features. Talk to a local engineer or contractor about sizing and siting for your property's rainfall patterns.

Drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion, but Hello Gravel does not guarantee spreading services; request it at checkout and the driver will assess safety and feasibility on arrival. For consistent spreading, plan to have a contractor or landscaping crew handle compaction and finishing after delivery. Always note access limitations and obstructions in the order notes so the hauler can plan the drop.

Use Hello Gravel's material calculator or estimate: volume = area (sq ft) x depth (ft); then divide by 27 to convert cubic feet to cubic yards.
