Mayo gets about 54 inches of precipitation a year. That kind of rainfall means drainage and washout need to be part of the plan from the start, and the right gravel size and base depth make the difference between a driveway that sheds water and one that turns into a mudhole.
Each gravel size serves a different job. The table below shows what Gravel Monkey carries for Mayo deliveries, what each is made for, and one key detail.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Driveway Gravel | General driveway top layer | All-purpose blend for a solid, finished surface. |
| 3/8" Driveway Gravel | Smooth top dressing, comfortable underfoot | Fine enough for walking and light vehicle traffic. |
| 3/4" Driveway Gravel | The standard driveway size | Locks together well for a stable, durable surface. |
| 1"-1 1/2" Driveway Gravel | Heavier traffic and soft ground | Handles trucks, equipment, and wet soil conditions. |
| 1 1/2" Driveway Gravel | Deep base layer under a finer top | Provides structural support for resurfacing projects. |
| 2"-3" Driveway Gravel | Rural lanes, mud control, first lift | Oversize rock for stability on soft or saturated soil. |
Matching the gravel to the project saves time and money. Here is how the common jobs around Mayo break down.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Muddy rural lane | 2"-3" Driveway Gravel | 6 to 8 inches of this oversize rock first, then a 2-inch cap of 3/4" gravel. |
| New driveway base | 1 1/2" Driveway Gravel | Lift depth depends on soil; plan on 4 to 6 inches as a starting point. |
| Resurfacing an existing driveway | 3/4" Driveway Gravel | Top-dress 2 to 3 inches over the existing base to restore the driving surface. |
| Culvert and shoulder repair | 1"-1 1/2" Driveway Gravel | Well-draining angular rock that resists washing away. |
| Parking pad | 3/8" Driveway Gravel | Smooth, compactable surface that is easy to walk and kneel on. |
Soils mapped in the Mayo area are commonly moderately well drained. That means the ground can handle some moisture but may need extra base stone under the surface layer to stay firm. The soil around Mayo is in hydrologic group A, which soaks water up quickly and produces little runoff. As a result, less drainage stone is needed under the surface than in areas with heavier clay soils.
About 76 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Scheduling the delivery onto firm ground matters, because a truck dropping 20 tons of gravel onto a wet, soft driveway can rut the surface before the stone is even spread. Only about 27 days a year drop below 32F, and ground freezing here is not a significant factor. That means the base layer does not need to be as deep as it would in colder climates to resist frost heave.
Work can run most of the year in this climate, which makes scheduling the delivery the easy part.
Tonnage depends on the area you are covering and the depth you want. A good starting point is to measure the length and width of your driveway in feet, multiply to get square feet, then multiply by the depth in inches and divide by about 150 to get an approximate tonnage. For a more precise figure use our driveway gravel calculator to enter your dimensions and get the exact tonnage for the size you want.
Ordering is done entirely online. You pick the gravel size and the load tonnage, enter your address, and pay at checkout. The delivery price is set by your ZIP code. Loads run from one ton to 40 tons or more. Use the code FIRSTTIMER50 to save $50 off your first order.
The delivery date you choose must be at least 3 business days after you place the order. You pick a window: morning, 7 am to 12 pm, or afternoon, 12 pm to 5 pm. Gravel Monkey sends an email confirmation when you order, then a second email closer to the date with the scheduled window and a photo of the material being loaded. Delivery only happens after you approve that second email. You or someone you nominate must be at the site during the window. Read full delivery information.

Driveway gravel often goes on top of a base layer, or alongside other materials for a complete job. These are the products that pair with it.
Not really. Mayo has about 27 days a year below 32F, and ground freezing is not a significant factor. That keeps the base layer shallower than in colder regions. A standard 4 to 6 inch base of 1 1/2" driveway gravel usually suffices without extra frost-depth measures.
Yes. Mayo gets about 54 inches of precipitation a year, which is well above the national average. The soil group soaks water up quickly and produces little runoff, so drainage is still important. A well-draining base of 1"-1 1/2" or 2"-3" gravel under a finer top layer helps keep the surface firm.
Driveway gravel is not a finished surface for high-speed traffic, tight parking lots, or areas where a smooth, hard pavement is needed. It also will not stop mud in a low-lying area without enough base depth and proper grading underneath.
For resurfacing and most standard driveways in Mayo, 3/4" Driveway Gravel is the most common choice. It locks together well and sheds water, and it works over a base of 1 1/2" gravel on softer ground.
