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






The most common mistake people make with driveway gravel is treating all crushed stone like it is the same. A driveway needs a proper base of larger stone and a smooth top layer that locks together.
Gravel Monkey delivers driveway gravel across Maryland by the ton. We bring the stone straight to your address in a dump truck, so you do not need to visit a yard or pick up anything.
For a lasting driveway, you need a base layer of larger stone and a top layer that is compactable and comfortable. The table below shows the sizes we deliver and what each does best.
| Product | Use | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Driveway Gravel | General driveway top layer | A versatile top layer that balances drainage and compaction for most residential driveways. |
| 3/8" Driveway Gravel | Smooth top dressing, comfortable underfoot | Small stones that create a neat walking surface and a comfortable top dressing. |
| 3/4" Driveway Gravel | The standard driveway size, locks together well | Locks together well for a stable, long-lasting driveway surface that resists shifting. |
| 1"-1 1/2" Driveway Gravel | Heavier traffic and soft ground | Larger stones that provide extra support for heavier traffic areas or soft ground. |
| 1 1/2" Driveway Gravel | Deep base layer under a finer top | A deep base layer that gives a solid foundation under a finer top layer of gravel. |
| 2"-3" Driveway Gravel | Rural lanes, mud control, first lift | Large stones for rural lanes and mud control, often used as the first lift on a new road. |
For a quick patch or a permanent driveway, the right gravel size makes the difference. The table below matches common jobs to the best material and depth.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Parking pad | 3/4" Driveway Gravel | 4 inches compacted |
| Culvert and shoulder repair | 1 1/2" Driveway Gravel | 6 inches deep |
| New driveway base | 2"-3" Driveway Gravel | 8 inches as first lift |
| Muddy rural lane | 2"-3" Driveway Gravel | 6 inches, then top with smaller stone |
| Resurfacing an existing driveway | 3/8" Driveway Gravel | 2 inches over a sound base |
Across the cities we deliver to in Maryland, annual precipitation runs from about 44 to 50 inches. That moisture can shift an uncompacted base, so choosing the right depth matters.
The state sees about 64 to 130 days a year below 32 degrees F, depending on location. Winters here are cold enough to move an unsettled base, so compaction is worth the extra pass. The frost band across most of Maryland is moderate, meaning ground heave is possible in cold spells.
Hydrologic soil groups B and C are the most common across served areas. These soils drain at a moderate rate, so a deeper base of 6 to 8 inches of larger gravel is often recommended to prevent settling.

Maryland experiences 64 to 130 freezing days a year depending on location. In areas with the highest count, road restrictions may be more common. Gravel Monkey coordinates with you to schedule deliveries around active restrictions.
Rainfall ranges from 44 to 50 inches across the state. In wetter areas, a deeper base of larger stone helps prevent shifting. Soil types also vary; areas with clay-heavy soil (hydrologic group C) drain slower, so a base layer of 2-to-3-inch gravel can provide extra stability.
