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






If you are resurfacing a driveway or building a new one, you need a base layer that compacts well and a top layer that stays in place. Driveway Gravel works for the finish, while 3/4" Driveway Gravel is the standard size that locks together.
Gravel Monkey delivers driveway gravel by the ton to your address across Minnesota. You choose the delivery window and the truck brings the load.
For a durable driveway, you need both a base layer and a finish layer. The coarser sizes handle heavy traffic and soft ground, while finer gravel provides a smooth surface. Here are the driveway gravel sizes we deliver in Minnesota.
| Product | What it's for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Driveway Gravel | general driveway top layer | Versatile all-around topdressing that works for many surfaces. |
| 3/8" Driveway Gravel | smooth top dressing, comfortable underfoot | Ideal for a finished surface that is easy to walk on. |
| 3/4" Driveway Gravel | the standard driveway size, locks together well | Packs tight to create a stable, long-wearing surface. |
| 1"-1 1/2" Driveway Gravel | heavier traffic and soft ground | Larger stone resists rutting under frequent use or weak soils. |
| 1 1/2" Driveway Gravel | deep base layer under a finer top | Provides structural depth before a smaller surface layer is added. |
| 2"-3" Driveway Gravel | rural lanes, mud control, first lift | Coarse material that stabilizes soft sites and wet areas. |
Choosing the right gravel depends on whether you need a quick fix or a lasting surface. The larger sizes cost less per ton but require a thicker layer, while the smaller sizes pack tight and last longer.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Resurfacing an existing driveway | 3/4" Driveway Gravel | 3 to 4 inches compacted for a smooth surface. |
| Culvert and shoulder repair | 2"-3" Driveway Gravel | First lift to stabilize the area, then finer gravel on top. |
| Parking pad | 3/4" Driveway Gravel over a 1 1/2" base | Base depth 4 to 6 inches minimum for vehicle loads. |
| Muddy rural lane | 2"-3" Driveway Gravel followed by 1 1/2" Driveway Gravel | Two lifts: coarse bottom, then a binding layer above. |
| New driveway base | 2"-3" Driveway Gravel then 1 1/2" Driveway Gravel | Start with 6 inches of coarse fill, then 4 inches of sub-base. |
Across the cities we deliver to in Minnesota, annual precipitation runs from about 27 to 34 inches, and below-freezing temperatures occur on 161 to 203 days a year, depending on location. Most of the state sits in the severe band for ground freezing. These conditions mean that proper base depth is essential to prevent frost heave. The most common soil groups across the served cities are hydrologic groups A and C, which influence how water drains through the base. A deeper gravel layer is often needed to maintain stability on slower-draining soils.
MnDOT runs a spring load-restriction program that can limit truck weights on certain roads during thaw. This may affect delivery routing and timing, so it is something to consider when ordering. Hard freezes shape the calendar here, so base work is easier to get right from late spring through fall.
