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






Driveway gravel is a workhorse material for Arapahoe County homes, farms and commercial lots. Littleton gets about 19 inches of precipitation a year, which means the drainage layer under your gravel matters as much as the top surface.
Gravel Monkey delivers driveway gravel straight to your address by the ton. You pick the product, choose a delivery window, and we drop the load where you mark it.
Driveway gravel comes in several sizes, each suited to a different part of the job. The stone locks together better when you choose the right grade for the traffic and base conditions.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Driveway Gravel | General driveway top layer | Mixed sizes that compact into a stable surface. |
| 3/8" Driveway Gravel | Smooth top dressing | Comfortable underfoot, works well for walkways and parking areas. |
| 3/4" Driveway Gravel | Standard driveway size | Locks together well and handles daily car traffic. |
| 1"-1 1/2" Driveway Gravel | Heavier traffic and soft ground | Larger stone spreads the load and resists rutting. |
| 1 1/2" Driveway Gravel | Deep base layer | Use under a finer top for roads or long driveways. |
| 2"-3" Driveway Gravel | Rural lanes, mud control, first lift | Big stone for building up soft spots and fighting mud. |
Each project type needs a different approach. The table below matches common Littleton driveway problems to the right gravel size and depth.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| New driveway base | 1 1/2" Driveway Gravel | 4 to 6 inches after compaction, then top with 3/4" |
| Parking pad | 3/4" Driveway Gravel | 4 inches compacted over landscape fabric |
| Culvert and shoulder repair | 2"-3" Driveway Gravel | Fills erosion channels; top with 1 1/2" for traffic |
| Resurfacing an existing driveway | 3/4" Driveway Gravel | 2 to 3 inches over the old surface after grading |
| Muddy rural lane | 1"-1 1/2" Driveway Gravel | 6 inches minimum; consider 2"-3" for deep ruts |
Littleton sees about 155 freezing days a year. That ground movement can unsettle a base that was not compacted well. Winters here are cold enough to move an unsettled base, so compaction is worth the extra pass. The roughly 42 wet days a year where at least a tenth of an inch falls mean scheduling the delivery onto firm ground matters.
Snowfall totals around 62 inches annually, and plowing can scrape loose gravel off the surface. A top dressing of 3/8" or 3/4" material holds up better under a blade. The ground around Littleton takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface, so a deeper drainage layer earns its place in a multi-lift driveway.
Coverage depends on the area and the depth you want. A cubic yard of gravel typically spreads about 100 square feet at 3 inches deep. Use our driveway gravel calculator to estimate the tonnage for your Littleton project before you order.

Sand and crushed stone often go alongside driveway gravel to improve drainage or fill gaps.
Yes. With about 155 freezing days a year, frozen ground can make it harder to get a level spot for the load. Gravel Monkey schedules deliveries year-round, but you may want to compact the base before the ground freezes.
Littleton averages about 42 days a year with at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Wet ground can make the truck leave ruts, so aim for a dry stretch to avoid a messy site.
Yes. The contractor places the order with their own contact and delivery details. The delivery address must be accessible and someone must be present to receive the load.
The driver drops the material where you mark the spot. The site needs a road width of at least 12 feet for the truck. If access is tight, the crew unloads as close to the spot as they safely can.
Ordering is straightforward. Use the Littleton hub to check prices and plan your delivery date. No need to visit a yard.
