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






In Alabama, annual rainfall across the cities we deliver to runs from about 56 to 68 inches. That amount of rain means a driveway needs a base that drains well and holds up under wet conditions.
Gravel Monkey delivers driveway gravel by the ton to addresses across the state. A dump truck brings the load right to your property. Orders range from 1 to 40-plus tons.
The most popular choice for Alabama driveways is our standard Driveway Gravel, a general top layer that works for most surfaces. Depending on your project, another size may suit you better. The table below lists every product we carry, what it is for, and a key note.
| Product | What it is for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Driveway Gravel | General driveway top layer | A versatile option for most residential driveways. |
| 3/8" Driveway Gravel | Smooth top dressing, comfortable underfoot | Good for walking and for areas where a finer surface is wanted. |
| 3/4" Driveway Gravel | The standard driveway size, locks together well | Compact and stable under light to medium traffic. |
| 1"-1 1/2" Driveway Gravel | Heavier traffic and soft ground | Handles larger loads and provides extra stability on weak soil. |
| 1 1/2" Driveway Gravel | Deep base layer under a finer top | Often used as the first lift before a smaller stone is added. |
| 2"-3" Driveway Gravel | Rural lanes, mud control, first lift | Ideal for soft spots and for building up a base in wet areas. |
Different jobs call for different stone sizes and depths. This table matches common driveway projects with the product we recommend and the depth you should aim for.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Parking pad | 3/4" Driveway Gravel | 4 to 6 inches compacted |
| New driveway base | 1 1/2" Driveway Gravel | 6 to 8 inches as a base layer |
| Resurfacing an existing driveway | 1"-1 1/2" Driveway Gravel | 2 to 3 inches top dressing |
| Culvert and shoulder repair | 2"-3" Driveway Gravel | 6 to 8 inches to fill and stabilize |
| Muddy rural lane | 2"-3" Driveway Gravel | 8 to 12 inches, depending on soil |
Across the cities we deliver to in Alabama, annual precipitation runs from about 56 to 68 inches. That rainfall range means your driveway base must handle water without washing out. A thicker base of larger stone often helps in wetter parts of the state.
Freezing days range from about 25 to 70 days a year below 32F, depending on location. In areas with more freeze-thaw cycles, a well-drained base reduces frost heave. Most of the state sits in the negligible band for ground freezing, so deep frost protection is rarely needed.
Hydrologic soil groups B and C are the most common across served cities. These soils drain at a moderate to slow rate, so a base depth of at least 6 to 8 inches of compacted gravel is a good starting point. Work can run most of the year in this climate, which makes scheduling the delivery the easy part.
