Not every gravel works for every driveway. Here is what each product does and does not do:
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Driveway Gravel | general driveway top layer | Works as a finished surface on most driveways. |
| 3/8" Driveway Gravel | smooth top dressing, comfortable underfoot | Not for heavy truck traffic or muddy lanes. |
| 3/4" Driveway Gravel | the standard driveway size, locks together well | Good for car traffic and light trucks. |
| 1"-1 1/2" Driveway Gravel | heavier traffic and soft ground | Handles trucks and farm equipment better. |
| 1 1/2" Driveway Gravel | deep base layer under a finer top | Use this for the bottom lift on new driveways. |
| 2"-3" Driveway Gravel | rural lanes, mud control, first lift | Coarse stone that stays put in wet conditions. |
Match your project to the right gravel and depth.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| New driveway base | 2"-3" Driveway Gravel first lift, then 1 1/2" Driveway Gravel for base | First lift 6 to 8 inches, base 4 to 6 inches |
| Resurfacing an existing driveway | 3/4" Driveway Gravel or 1"-1 1/2" Driveway Gravel | 2 to 3 inches topdressing |
| Culvert and shoulder repair | 1"-1 1/2" Driveway Gravel | Fill to match grade, compact |
| Muddy rural lane | 2"-3" Driveway Gravel first lift | 6 to 12 inches, then top with Driveway Gravel |
| Parking pad | 3/4" Driveway Gravel or Driveway Gravel | 4 to 6 inches compacted |
Annual precipitation across the cities we deliver to in Delaware runs from about 47 to 48 inches. That moisture works its way through loose gravel, so good drainage at the base is important to keep your driveway from washing out.
Freezing days range from about 79 to 96 days a year below 32F, depending on where in the state. Most of the state sits in the moderate band for ground freezing. Freeze and thaw cycles work on loose material all winter, which is the argument for the deeper first lift.
The most common soil hydrologic groups across the served cities are A and B, meaning the ground drains fairly well. Even so, a deeper base layer helps support heavy loads and keeps the surface from shifting.

Delaware's annual rainfall of 47 to 48 inches and up to 96 freezing days per year mean a deeper base layer is recommended for long-lasting driveways. Soil groups A and B drain well, but a deeper first lift helps with freeze-thaw stability.
Delaware does not have seasonal load restrictions that affect aggregate delivery. Gravel Monkey delivers year-round, and you can schedule your order at checkout.
We offer six sizes: 3/8 inch for walking surfaces, 3/4 inch as the standard driveway size, 1 to 1.5 inches for heavier traffic, 1.5 inches for base layers, and 2 to 3 inches for rural lanes and first lifts. The general Driveway Gravel product works as a top layer for most driveways.
