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






Contractors usually order driveway gravel by the ton and know the size they need. Homeowners often start with questions about depth and coverage. Both types of buyer end up at the same place: a delivered load that matches the job.
Williamsburg gets about 54 inches of precipitation a year, which means drainage planning matters more than it does in drier areas.
Gravel Monkey stocks driveway gravel in sizes from 3/8 inch up to 2 to 3 inches. The right size depends on whether you need a top layer, a base course, or something that can handle heavy traffic. Here are the options.
| Product | Best used for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Driveway Gravel | General driveway top layer | A mixed-size gravel that compacts well for driving surfaces. |
| 3/8" Driveway Gravel | Smooth top dressing, comfortable underfoot | Small, clean stone that stays put and is easy to walk on. |
| 3/4" Driveway Gravel | The standard driveway size, locks together well | Interlocks when compacted, resists rutting and washout. |
| 1"-1 1/2" Driveway Gravel | Heavier traffic and soft ground | Larger stone spreads loads and bridges weak spots. |
| 1 1/2" Driveway Gravel | Deep base layer under a finer top | Rough texture locks into itself, creating a stable sub-base. |
| 2"-3" Driveway Gravel | Rural lanes, mud control, first lift | Large stone for wet ground or where a solid foundation is needed first. |
Match the product to the problem. These five common projects show what to order and how deep to place it.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| New driveway base | 1 1/2" Driveway Gravel | 4 to 6 inches after compaction, then a finer top layer. |
| Culvert and shoulder repair | 2"-3" Driveway Gravel | Fill low spots and spread 3 to 4 inches thick. |
| Muddy rural lane | 2"-3" Driveway Gravel | First lift of 6 to 8 inches on soft soil. |
| Resurfacing an existing driveway | 3/4" Driveway Gravel | 2 to 3 inches over a sound base. |
| Parking pad | 1"-1 1/2" Driveway Gravel | 3 to 4 inches for light vehicle traffic. |
Williambsurg sees about 92 days a year with at least a tenth of an inch of rain. That many wet days means scheduling the delivery onto firm ground matters. A truck unloading into mud creates more work, not less.
About 110 days a year drop below 32 degrees Fahrenheit. That freeze-thaw cycle can shift an un-compacted base. Winters here are cold enough to move an unsettled base, so compaction is worth the extra pass. Snowfall averages about 10 inches a year, which means plowing can scrape a loose surface if the gravel is not well locked.
Ground freezing is real but moderate in depth. This affects how deep the base layer needs to be to hold up under traffic during thaws.
Figuring out tonnage starts with the area and the depth you want. Driveway gravel is sold by the ton, and coverage varies by stone size. Use the driveway gravel calculator to enter your measurements and get an estimate. No need to guess.

These materials work alongside driveway gravel for a complete job.
Yes. Williamsburg gets about 54 inches of precipitation a year. That much rainfall increases washout risk, so a well-draining gravel with angular edges is safer than a rounded stone that shifts when wet.
Yes. About 110 days a year drop below freezing, so the ground freezes and thaws repeatedly. Larger sizes like 1 1/2 inch or 2 to 3 inch gravel resist heave better than smaller stone when the ground moves.
Driveway gravel is not a finished paving surface. It will shift over time and needs periodic maintenance. It is not suitable for steep slopes without a binder, for areas where dust must be minimal, or for tight spaces where spreading equipment cannot reach.
The size determines how the gravel behaves. Smaller sizes like 3/8 inch are smooth underfoot. 3/4 inch locks together well for stable driving. Larger sizes from 1 inch up to 2 to 3 inches are used for base layers, heavy traffic, or muddy conditions. Each size serves a different layer in the driveway.
