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






New Iberia sits in Iberia Parish, where rural lanes and suburban lots mix with active new construction. Driveway gravel is a practical choice for these properties, providing a durable surface that handles the local climate. New Iberia gets about 66 inches of precipitation a year, which means drainage and washout planning should be part of any driveway project.
Whether you need a fresh top layer for an existing driveway or a base for a new one, the right gravel size makes the difference. Gravel Monkey delivers driveway gravel by the ton straight to your address, priced by ZIP at checkout.
Driveway gravel comes in sizes from fine dressing to heavy base stone. The table below lists each option, what it works best for, and a note to help you match the material to your project.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Driveway Gravel | General driveway top layer | A versatile mix for most residential driveways, balancing drainage and compaction. |
| 3/8" Driveway Gravel | Smooth top dressing, comfortable underfoot | Smaller stones create a stable, even surface that is easy to walk on. |
| 3/4" Driveway Gravel | The standard driveway size, locks together well | Angular chips interlock to form a firm, long-lasting driving surface. |
| 1"-1 1/2" Driveway Gravel | Heavier traffic and soft ground | Larger stones provide extra load-bearing capacity where soil is less stable. |
| 1 1/2" Driveway Gravel | Deep base layer under a finer top | Used as a first course to distribute weight and reduce ground movement. |
| 2"-3" Driveway Gravel | Rural lanes, mud control, first lift | Oversized stone for wet areas and access roads that see heavy use. |
The table below pairs typical driveway jobs with the gravel product that suits each situation. Use it as a starting point when planning your order.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| New driveway base | 1 1/2" Driveway Gravel | Deep base layer to support the surface and improve drainage. |
| Culvert and shoulder repair | 2"-3" Driveway Gravel | Heavy stone that resists erosion from water flow. |
| Parking pad | 1"-1 1/2" Driveway Gravel | Handles the weight of parked vehicles without shifting. |

About 14 days a year in New Iberia drop below 32F. Freezing and thawing can shift the ground, so the base depth matters. Work can run most of the year in this climate, which makes scheduling the delivery the easy part. The frost line is not a significant factor here, meaning a standard base thickness usually works.
Soils mapped in the New Iberia area are commonly somewhat poorly drained. That area guidance suggests you may need more base stone under the surface layer to keep water from softening the driveway. The ground around New Iberia is in hydrologic group C, which takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface. A deeper drainage layer earns its place, especially on flatter lots.
Estimating the right tonnage starts with the area and the depth you want. A standard driveway needs about 4 to 6 inches of material, but the exact amount depends on the stone size and the base conditions. Use the driveway gravel calculator to get a quick estimate based on your specific dimensions.
Ordering is straightforward: choose your material, enter your ZIP code for delivery pricing, and select a delivery date at least 3 business days out. You pick a morning (7 am to 12 pm) or afternoon (12 pm to 5 pm) window.

Winter cold is limited here, with about 14 days a year below 32F. Those few cold days do not typically delay delivery, but the driver will avoid unloading onto frozen or muddy ground. Plan your delivery for a dry spell and ensure the site is accessible.
About 77 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Scheduling the delivery onto firm ground is important; check the forecast and avoid the wettest months. A dry base helps the gravel settle properly.
