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






Driveway gravel is measured by the ton. A typical project takes anywhere from a few tons for a small parking pad to many tons for a new lane. Gravel Monkey delivers driveway gravel across Michigan by the ton, sized and priced for your job.
You order online, choose a delivery window at checkout, and a dump truck brings the load to your address. The delivered price appears once you enter your ZIP code.
Driveway gravel comes in different particle sizes. Each size suits a different layer or traffic level. The table below lists the options delivered across the state.
| Product | Best use | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Driveway Gravel | general driveway top layer | Balanced mix for most driveways. |
| 3/8" Driveway Gravel | smooth top dressing, comfortable underfoot | Smallest graded size, easy to walk on. |
| 3/4" Driveway Gravel | the standard driveway size, locks together well | Most popular; good for traffic and drainage. |
| 1"-1 1/2" Driveway Gravel | heavier traffic and soft ground | Coarse stone that resists rutting. |
| 1 1/2" Driveway Gravel | deep base layer under a finer top | Strong foundation for paved or gravel surfaces. |
| 2"-3" Driveway Gravel | rural lanes, mud control, first lift | Large stone for soft spots and heavy loads. |
Match the project to the stone size. The table below shows common jobs and the recommended product.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| parking pad | 3/4" Driveway Gravel | 4 to 6 inches base; top with 3/8" if needed. |
| new driveway base | 1 1/2" Driveway Gravel | 6 to 8 inches compacted, then surface layer. |
| muddy rural lane | 2"-3" Driveway Gravel | First lift to stabilize, then finer cap. |
| resurfacing an existing driveway | 3/4" Driveway Gravel | Top-dress 2 to 3 inches over existing base. |
| culvert and shoulder repair | 1"-1 1/2" Driveway Gravel | Angular stone locks well for erosion control. |
Across the cities we deliver to in Michigan, annual precipitation runs from about 33 to 38 inches. The state sees roughly 130 to 179 days a year below 32 degrees Fahrenheit, depending on location. Most of the state falls in the severe band for ground freezing. Hard freezes shape the calendar here, so base work is easier to get right from late spring through fall.
Soil types also matter. The dominant hydrologic groups in our served cities are A and C/D. Group A soils drain well, while C/D soils hold moisture longer. That means base depth guidance varies: free-draining soils may need less stone, but heavier soils require a thicker lift to stay stable under traffic.
Michigan's seasonal road limits affect delivery timing. MDOT runs a spring load-restriction program that can limit truck weights on certain roads during the thaw cycle. Our haulers operate within those restrictions, so delivery dates are scheduled with the road limits in mind.

To find the right tonnage, measure your driveway's length and width in feet and decide the depth. Multiply them to get cubic feet, then divide by about 27 to get cubic yards. Tonnage depends on the stone size and moisture. Use Gravel Monkey's driveway gravel calculator to get a quick estimate for your address.
