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






One common mistake when buying driveway gravel is ordering the same size for the entire depth. The base layer needs larger stones to handle weight and drainage, while the surface needs smaller, interlocking gravel that resists shifting.
In Hamilton, the local climate drives this need. With about 52 inches of precipitation each year, you have to plan for drainage and washout. A properly layered driveway with a coarse base and a finer top layer sheds water and stays firm longer.
Selecting the right gravel for each layer starts with understanding the job each size does. Base materials are coarse and load-bearing; finish materials are compact and comfortable. The table below lists every driveway gravel we offer in Hamilton.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Driveway Gravel | General driveway top layer | Versatile mix that works for many driveways. |
| 3/8" Driveway Gravel | Smooth top dressing, comfortable underfoot | Ideal for walking surfaces and light traffic. |
| 3/4" Driveway Gravel | The standard driveway size, locks together well | Most popular choice for surface layers. |
| 1"-1 1/2" Driveway Gravel | Heavier traffic and soft ground | Sturdy enough for trucks and equipment. |
| 1 1/2" Driveway Gravel | Deep base layer under a finer top | Provides strong support for long-term stability. |
| 2"-3" Driveway Gravel | Rural lanes, mud control, first lift | Handles wet ground and heavy loads well. |

Hamilton receives about 52 inches of precipitation each year. That much rain means you need to plan for drainage and washout, especially on a driveway surface. A properly graded base and the right top layer help water shed quickly.
About 72 days each year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Scheduling your delivery onto firm ground avoids having the truck sink or rut the site. Frost is not the constraint here, so the calendar is driven by rain and by how wet the ground is.
The county sees about 46 days below freezing each year. Freeze-thaw cycles can shift the ground, but because frost is not deep here, the base layer does not need extra depth. Soils in the Hamilton area are mapped as well drained and fall into hydrologic group B, which means water moves through at a moderate rate. For most driveways, a standard base depth is enough to handle this.
To figure out how many tons of driveway gravel you need, measure the length and width of your driveway and decide on the depth. You can use our driveway gravel calculator to get a precise number based on your dimensions and the specific gravel size. Loads run from one ton to over forty tons.
