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






Driveway gravel is the same stone you see on most unpaved lanes and parking lots in central Minnesota, but in Little Falls it handles a few local quirks. The area gets about 30 inches of precipitation a year, which means drainage matters more than color or shape.
Morrison County permitted about 120 single-family homes in 2024, and many of those lots need a new driveway from scratch or an upgrade from a muddy track. Whether you are building a new gravel surface or topping off an old one, the right size and base depth keep it firm through the wet months.
Each size of driveway gravel suits a different part of the driveway or a different traffic load. The table below lists the options Gravel Monkey delivers to Little Falls.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Driveway Gravel | General driveway top layer | All-purpose blend for a finished surface on most driveways. |
| 3/8" Driveway Gravel | Smooth top dressing, comfortable underfoot | Good for walkways and play areas near the house. |
| 3/4" Driveway Gravel | The standard driveway size, locks together well | Most common choice for driveways that see cars and light trucks. |
| 1"-1 1/2" Driveway Gravel | Heavier traffic and soft ground | Handles delivery trucks and farm equipment without rutting. |
| 1 1/2" Driveway Gravel | Deep base layer under a finer top | Used as the first lift on new driveways or soft spots. |
| 2"-3" Driveway Gravel | Rural lanes, mud control, first lift | Large stone for heavy mud and poor access roads. |
Match the project to the right material and depth. The table below shows five typical jobs and the driveway gravel that works best.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Culvert and shoulder repair | 2"-3" Driveway Gravel or 1"-1 1/2" Driveway Gravel | 6 to 8 inches to stabilize the edge. |
| Resurfacing an existing driveway | 3/4" Driveway Gravel | 2 to 3 inches to refresh the top layer. |
| Muddy rural lane | 2"-3" Driveway Gravel for base, then 3/4" Driveway Gravel on top | Base 6 inches, top 2 inches. |
| New driveway base | 1"-1 1/2" Driveway Gravel | 4 to 6 inches over compacted soil. |
| Parking pad | 3/4" Driveway Gravel or 3/8" Driveway Gravel | 3 to 4 inches for a stable, level pad. |
Spring thaw is the wet part of the year for driveways, and it is when a thin base shows up as ruts. About 61 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain, so the ground stays soft for long stretches. Scheduling the delivery onto firm ground means picking a dry week, not a rainy one.
Around 178 days a year drop below freezing, and the area gets about 53 inches of snowfall. Plowing a loose gravel surface can push stone into the lawn or create ridges. A deep base layer reduces frost heave and keeps the driveway level through winter.
Soils mapped in the Little Falls area are commonly excessively drained, and the ground around Little Falls is in hydrologic group A, which means it soaks water up quickly and produces little runoff. That behavior means less drainage stone is needed under the surface layer, but the base still needs to be thick enough to handle freeze-thaw cycles.
Figuring out the tonnage starts with the length and width of the drive and the depth you plan to use. A standard depth of 4 inches covers most new driveways, but resurfacing only needs 2 to 3 inches. Use Gravel Monkey's driveway gravel calculator to convert your area into tons. The calculator accounts for compaction, so you order the right amount the first time.
