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






When you buy driveway gravel for a Stuttgart property, the common mistake is picking a single stone size for the whole job. A driveway needs a stable base that can handle the local clay-heavy soil and a surface that locks together without washing away.
Stuttgart gets about 51 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage planning matters from the start. Choosing the right layers keeps the driveway from turning into a mud patch after a heavy rain.
Think of your driveway as two layers: a coarse base that spreads the load and a finer top that sheds water and stays firm under tires. Gravel Monkey supplies six driveway gravel sizes to match every stage of the job.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Driveway Gravel | General driveway top layer | A blended mix that works as both base and finish on light-duty drives. |
| 3/8" Driveway Gravel | Smooth top dressing, comfortable underfoot | Small, clean chips that pack tight; good for walkways and parking areas. |
| 3/4" Driveway Gravel | The standard driveway size, locks together well | The most common surface choice; it stays put under passenger vehicles. |
| 1"-1 1/2" Driveway Gravel | Heavier traffic and soft ground | Angular stone that interlocks; often used on farm lanes or as a base lift. |
| 1 1/2" Driveway Gravel | Deep base layer under a finer top | Provides drainage and stability; cover it with 3/4-inch or smaller for the finish. |
| 2"-3" Driveway Gravel | Rural lanes, mud control, first lift | Oversize stone for wet spots; use it as the bottom course on soft ground. |
Every job has a budget and a lifespan. The table below shows a money-saving option and a more durable choice for five common projects.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Culvert and shoulder repair | 1 1/2" Driveway Gravel | 6 to 8 inches; the stone holds against erosion. |
| New driveway base | 1"-1 1/2" Driveway Gravel | 4 inches compacted, then a 2-inch top of 3/4" Driveway Gravel. |
| Parking pad | 3/4" Driveway Gravel | 3 to 4 inches; use 3/8" Driveway Gravel for a smoother surface. |
| Muddy rural lane | 2"-3" Driveway Gravel | Start with 6 inches; add a wearing course later if needed. |
| Resurfacing an existing driveway | Driveway Gravel or 3/4" Driveway Gravel | 2 inches on top after grading the old surface. |
Stuttgart's weather shapes both the delivery season and the driveway itself. About 67 days a year bring measurable rain, so scheduling the delivery onto firm ground is important. A dry week before the truck arrives gives the site a chance to harden up.
Freezing occurs roughly 50 days a year. Those freeze-thaw cycles move an unsettled base, creating ruts and soft spots. Winters here are cold enough to move an unsettled base, so compaction is worth the extra pass. The 2 inches of annual snowfall is light, but plowing can scrape a loose surface if the gravel is not locked down.
Soils mapped in the Stuttgart area are commonly somewhat poorly drained. That means more base stone under the surface layer to keep water from pooling. Ground around Stuttgart is in hydrologic group D, which means it takes water in very slowly, so most rain runs across the surface. That makes drainage and a deeper base more important here than in many other places.
To figure tonnage, measure the length and width of the area, decide on the depth, and use our driveway gravel calculator. It converts square footage and depth into tons. Most standard driveways need 3 to 5 inches total, split between base and surface layers.
Gravel Monkey operates nationwide: you order online by the ton, choose a delivery window, and a dump truck brings the stone to your address. Loads run from one ton to more than 40 tons. The delivery price is calculated by ZIP code at checkout. Qualifying orders may get free delivery, and first-time customers save $50 with code FIRSTTIMER50.
You choose a delivery window (morning 7am-12pm or afternoon 12pm-5pm) and must have someone at the site to direct the driver. After placing the order, you receive a confirmation email, then a second email closer to the date showing the scheduled window and a photo of the material being loaded. Delivery only goes ahead once you approve that second email.

Delivery cost is calculated at checkout based on your ZIP code and the total tonnage. Stuttgart gets about 51 inches of precipitation a year, so planning for good drainage can affect how much stone you need and therefore the cost.
It depends on the area and the depth you choose. In Stuttgart, about 50 days a year drop below freezing, which can shift an un-compacted base, so a deeper layer may be warranted. Use our driveway gravel calculator for a precise estimate.
The price is determined by your delivery ZIP code and the total weight of the order. You see the exact cost before you confirm the purchase at checkout.
The driver will dump the gravel as close to your chosen spot as safety and access allow. You or someone you nominate must be present to guide them and to approve the final placement.
Whether you need a few tons for a resurfacing job or a full truckload for a new driveway, Gravel Monkey delivers straight to your address. The truck arrives within the chosen window and you only pay for the material and delivery.
