Gravel & Rock ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Okmulgee address and unloads right where you point.







Gravel and rock is the backbone of any hardscape, but the wrong size or shape can turn a driveway into a mud pit or a path into a tripping hazard. Okmulgee gets about 44 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage and washout planning matters from the first load.
This page matches each product to the ground it will sit on and the weather it will face. You pick the spec, order by the ton, and the truck brings it to your address.
Every gravel and rock sold here is chosen for a specific failure mode. The table below lists what each product is for and, just as important, what it is not suitable for.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel | Play areas, patios | Rounded and smooth: not for driveways or any surface that needs to lock together. |
| River Rock | Beds, borders, dry creek beds | Decorative only; will not compact so skip it under anything that carries weight. |
| 2-4" River Rock | Larger decorative cover and erosion control | Good on slopes, bad underfoot. Not meant for walking surfaces. |
| Drain Rock | French drains and dry wells | Clean, angular, made to pass water: not a top-dressing material. |
| Decomposed Granite | Paths and patios that compact firm | Must be compacted in lifts. Not for wet areas where it can soften. |
| Crusher Run | Compacting base under everything | The foundation stone; not a finished surface because it stays rough. |
| Road Base | Lanes and pads that carry trucks | Angular rock that locks tight under load. Overkill for a garden path. |
The table below lays out five common Okmulgee-area jobs and what product to order. Depth assumes a stable subgrade.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| French drain | Drain Rock | 4 to 6 inches in the trench, wrapped in fabric |
| Dry creek bed | River Rock or 2-4" River Rock | 3 to 4 inches, tapering at edges |
| Landscape beds | River Rock | 2 to 3 inches over weed barrier |
| Erosion control on a slope | 2-4" River Rock | 4 to 6 inches, keyed into the slope |
| Path that stays firm | Decomposed Granite | 3 to 4 inches compacted in lifts |
Okmulgee sees about 62 days a year with at least a tenth of an inch of rain, which means scheduling the delivery onto firm ground can save you a stuck truck. The county permitted about 12 single-family homes in 2024, so new construction is modest but steady.
The ground around Okmulgee takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface. That deeper drainage layer earns its place in any base that has to stay dry. About 78 days a year drop below 32F, so the work window narrows in winter and the ground moves enough to matter. Freeze and thaw cycles work on loose material all winter, which is the argument for the deeper first lift.
Snowfall averages about 4 inches a year, so plowing damage to a loose surface is a real risk; a compacted top layer or a harder product like Crusher Run reduces that. Ground freezing here is real but moderate, and that influences how deep the base layer needs to be to stay stable through the season.
Tonnage depends on the area, the depth you choose, and the product's density. Use our material calculators to convert square footage and depth into tons. The calculator works for every product listed on this page.
Order online by the ton, choose a delivery date at least 3 business days out, and pick a delivery window: morning, 7 am to 12 pm, or afternoon, 12 pm to 5 pm. The dump truck delivers to your address; loads range from 1 to 40 plus tons. Delivery is priced by ZIP at checkout, and qualifying orders ship free.
You will need a valid phone number to confirm the delivery, and someone must be available at the site for the entire window. Gravel Monkey sends an email confirmation when the order is placed, then a second email closer to the date with the scheduled window and a photo of the material being loaded. Delivery only proceeds once you approve that second email.
First-time customers can use code FIRSTTIMER50 for $50 off their first order. Read the About Gravel Monkey page, check customer reviews, and see the delivery information page for the full policy on cancellations, fees, and damage.
Yes. About 78 days a year drop below 32F, and that freeze-thaw cycle can shift loose material if the base is too shallow. A deeper first lift of Crusher Run or Road Base keeps the surface level through the winter. Choosing a product that compacts well, like Decomposed Granite, also reduces movement.
Yes. With 44 inches of precipitation a year, standing water is a regular problem. The ground around Okmulgee drains slowly, so a product like Drain Rock in French drains or a thick layer of angular base stone will move water away. A decorative product like River Rock on top still needs a drainage layer underneath.
Gravel and rock is sold by the ton, not by the cubic yard. The weight of a given volume changes with the product density. Use the material calculators on this site to convert your depth and area into tons before ordering.
The truck needs a road width of at least 12 feet. If the access point is tight, the crew will unload as close to the requested spot as they safely can. The customer is responsible for confirming that the driveway and any structures can handle the weight of a loaded dump truck.
Whether you are laying a French drain behind a new house or topping off a dry creek bed in an established yard, the right gravel and rock gets the job done without wasted tonnage. Check the product table, run the calculators, and place your order online.
