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






Order driveway gravel from Gravel Monkey and a dump truck delivers it to your address. You mark the spot for a single drop, and the driver places the load where you need it. With about 44 inches of precipitation a year in Terre Haute, drainage and washout planning matters when choosing the right stone.
Every order is sold by the ton and priced at checkout based on your ZIP code. No yard to visit, no pickup required. The truck comes to you.
Driveway gravel comes in different sizes, each suited to a different layer of the driveway. Base layers need larger stone to carry the load, while the top layer should be a smaller, self-locking size that stays in place.
| Product | Use | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Driveway Gravel | General driveway top layer | A versatile mix that works for most residential driveways. |
| 3/8" Driveway Gravel | Smooth top dressing, comfortable underfoot | Good for walking surfaces and compact driveways. |
| 3/4" Driveway Gravel | Standard driveway size, locks together well | The most commonly used size for top layers. |
| 1"-1 1/2" Driveway Gravel | Heavier traffic and soft ground | Handles larger loads without shifting. |
| 1 1/2" Driveway Gravel | Deep base layer under a finer top | Provides a stable foundation for the final surface. |
| 2"-3" Driveway Gravel | Rural lanes, mud control, first lift | Best for muddy areas or building up from scratch. |
For a budget fix, a single layer of crushed gravel may be enough. For a long-term driveway, plan a base layer and a top layer.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Culvert and shoulder repair | 2"-3" Driveway Gravel | 6 to 8 inches to stabilize the area. |
| Resurfacing an existing driveway | 3/4" Driveway Gravel | 2 to 3 inches over the existing surface. |
| New driveway base | 1 1/2" Driveway Gravel | 6 to 8 inches compacted in lifts. |
| Parking pad | 3/8" Driveway Gravel | 3 to 4 inches for a firm, even surface. |
| Muddy rural lane | 2"-3" Driveway Gravel | First lift of 8 inches to get above the mud. |
Soils mapped in the Terre Haute area are commonly well drained. That means less base stone is needed under the surface layer compared to heavy clay areas. The ground around Terre Haute soaks water up quickly and produces little runoff, so extra drainage stone is rarely necessary.
Terre Haute sees about 77 days a year with at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Scheduling delivery for firm ground helps avoid rutting from the truck. About 111 days a year drop below 32F, and the area gets about 15 inches of snowfall. Plowing can scrape a loose gravel surface, so a well-compacted top layer holds up better. Winters here are cold enough to move an unsettled base, so compaction is worth the extra pass.
To estimate the tons of driveway gravel you need, measure the length and width of the area and decide on the depth. Use Gravel Monkey's driveway gravel calculator to convert cubic yards into tons based on the material you choose.

Yes. Terre Haute has about 111 days a year below 32F. That freeze-thaw cycle can shift an un-compacted base. Ordering a thicker base layer of large gravel, such as 1 1/2" Driveway Gravel, and compacting it well helps prevent heaving and settling.
With about 44 inches of precipitation a year, drainage matters. A well-drained top layer like 3/4" Driveway Gravel allows water to pass through rather than pooling on the surface. The local well-drained soils also reduce the need for extra drainage stone underneath.
Driveway gravel is not designed for high-speed roads or heavy commercial traffic. It can also get pushed into mud if the base is not strong enough. For soft ground, start with a larger base stone before adding the top layer.
The most common choice is 3/4" Driveway Gravel. It locks together well, stays in place under cars and light trucks, and works as both a finish layer and a base for some driveways. Many Terre Haute homeowners choose this size for resurfacing.
