Two to three inches is right for decorative stone in Tahlequah beds, enough to hide the fabric without burying plant crowns. Driveways, parking pads, and dry creek beds need four to six inches to hold up under our rainfall and soft silt loam base.

Placing an order online was so easy. Delivery was on time. When the driver realized we had a newly poured driveway they erred on the side of caution and opted not ti drive in it. The company even sent me a message explaining that call. Would recommend!

Try Our CalculatorMeasure your area in feet and pick a realistic depth, usually two to three inches for decorative beds and four or more for driveways. Stone is sold by weight as well as volume, so remember that one cubic yard of gravel weighs roughly 2,500 pounds. Round up, because coming up short on a stone project means paying a second delivery fee.
Add heavy duty landscape fabric and steel or paver edging to keep stone from sinking into the silt loam or spilling onto the lawn. If you are building a dry creek, a few larger boulders set as accents make the channel look natural rather than engineered.
Service area
Always compact your base before spreading stone. Tahlequah silt loam looks solid when dry, but the first saturating rain turns an uncompacted base to pudding and your new gravel disappears into it. Rent a plate compactor, run it over the graded subgrade in two directions, then add stone in two inch lifts, compacting between each. It doubles the life of a driveway or patio base.
Design your dry creek bed to follow the water, not your eye. Walk the yard during the next Tahlequah downpour and mark where runoff actually travels, because it rarely matches where you think it should go. Build the channel along that natural path, make it wider and shallower than feels necessary, and it will handle a two inch storm without overtopping onto the lawn.
Use woven landscape fabric rather than the thin spun plastic sold in rolls at big box stores. In our humid climate with 50 inches of annual rain, the cheap stuff tears within two seasons and lets stone sink into the silt loam. Woven fabric drains freely, resists puncture from rock edges, and will still be doing its job a decade later. Overlap seams by at least six inches and pin every three feet.
With 50 inches of rain a year running off the rolling terrain around Tahlequah, water management is the number one landscape challenge on most properties. Decorative and functional stone gives that water somewhere to go, whether it is a dry creek bed channeling runoff away from a foundation or river rock stabilizing a slope that keeps washing out. Stone also solves the problem organic mulch cannot in high traffic and wet zones, since it does not float away, does not decompose, and does not need annual replacement. Our silt loam is prone to erosion once vegetation is removed, and a gravel base under a walkway or patio locks that surface down for good. In a climate with a long Zone 7a growing season and heavy humidity, stone beds along the north side of a house also stay cleaner and drier than mulch beds do.
