Buy Driveway Gravel in Illinois

Spring thaw is the wet part of the year for driveways in Illinois. That is when a thin base shows up as ruts and soft spots. Adding driveway gravel before the ground dries out prevents deeper damage.

Gravel Monkey delivers driveway gravel by the ton to any address across the state. You pick a delivery date at checkout, and a dump truck brings the material to your site with at least 3 business days lead time. There is no need to visit a yard or arrange pickup.

Driveway Gravel Sizes Available in Illinois

The most common driveway gravel order in Illinois is our standard Driveway Gravel, which locks together well for a stable surface. For different needs, we offer several other sizes. Each serves a specific purpose from base layers to top dressing.

Illinois Weather and Ground Conditions for Driveway Gravel

Annual precipitation across the cities we deliver to in Illinois runs from 38 to 46 inches. This rainfall, combined with the clay-heavy soils found in hydrologic groups C and D, means driveways need a thicker gravel base to drain properly.

Freezing days range from 94 to 135 below 32F each year, and most of Illinois falls in the severe band for ground freezing. That frost action can heave a thin base, so base depth should be generous to prevent damage.
