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






Contractors and homeowners in Granby buy driveway gravel differently. Homeowners often need guidance on depth and material for their specific driveway. Soils mapped in the Granby area are commonly poorly drained, which can affect how much base stone you need under the surface layer.
Contractors typically order in larger quantities and know their requirements. But whether you are building a new driveway or resurfacing an old one, selecting the right gravel size and depth is key to a durable surface.
Here are the driveway gravel products we deliver to Granby. Each is available by the ton.
| Material | Best For | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Driveway Gravel | General driveway top layer | A versatile blend of crushed stone and fines that compacts into a stable surface. |
| 3/8" Driveway Gravel | Smooth top dressing | Fine material that is comfortable underfoot and creates a clean finish for resurfacing. |
| 3/4" Driveway Gravel | Standard driveway size | Locks together well to form a firm, stable surface that handles daily traffic. |
| 1"-1 1/2" Driveway Gravel | Heavier traffic and soft ground | Larger stones provide extra strength on weaker soils or under frequent heavy loads. |
| 1 1/2" Driveway Gravel | Deep base layer | Used under a finer top for a thick aggregate foundation that resists settling. |
| 2"-3" Driveway Gravel | Rural lanes, mud control | Heavy stone for first lifts on soft access routes where mud and rutting are issues. |
The table below matches common driveway issues to the right product and application depth.

|---|---|---|
| Resurfacing an existing driveway | 3/8" Driveway Gravel | Apply 2 to 3 inches over the existing surface for a smooth top dressing. |
| Muddy rural lane | 2"-3" Driveway Gravel | Use a thick base layer to control mud; consider local drainage. |
| Parking pad | 3/4" Driveway Gravel | Compact a stable base to support vehicle weight. |
| New driveway base | 1"-1 1/2" Driveway Gravel | Depth must account for deep frost in Granby. |
| Culvert and shoulder repair | Driveway Gravel | Fill and compact to match surrounding grade. |
Granby's deep frost line means driveway bases need to be built thick enough to avoid heaving. The ground freezes deep and stays frozen for long periods. This affects how deep your base layer should be, especially for new driveways.
Soils mapped in the Granby area are commonly poorly drained. That often means more base stone is needed under the surface layer to prevent rutting. The ground around Granby is in dual hydrologic group A/D, meaning its behavior depends on drainage: where drained, it soaks water quickly; where not, most rain runs off. So drainage is a key factor for your driveway's longevity. Spring thaw is the wet part of the year for driveways, and it is when a thin base shows up as ruts.
Across Grand County, about 212 single-family homes were permitted in 2024, many requiring new driveways. Understanding these local conditions helps ensure a driveway that lasts through Granby's winters and wet springs.

Yes, it depends on your site's drainage. The soil in Granby is in dual hydrologic group A/D, so where drainage is poor, washout risk is higher. A well-built base with proper gravel size reduces this risk.
