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






When you order driveway gravel from Gravel Monkey, a dump truck brings the load to your address. You mark the spot where you want the material dropped, and the driver places a single pile. Saint Clair gets about 44 inches of precipitation a year, so planning for drainage before you spread the gravel saves later work.
The truck carries 1 to more than 40 tons per trip. You choose the delivery window at checkout, either morning or afternoon, and you or someone you nominate must be at the site to guide the driver.
For a driveway you need a base layer and a top layer. Larger stone handles soft ground and heavy traffic, while a smaller, tighter stone gives a smooth surface. The size you pick depends on whether you are building the base or finishing the top.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Driveway Gravel | General driveway top layer | A versatile mix that works on most residential drives. |
| 3/8" Driveway Gravel | Smooth top dressing, comfortable underfoot | Fine enough for walking, but still drains well. |
| 3/4" Driveway Gravel | The standard driveway size, locks together well | Stays in place under tires and sheds water effectively. |
| 1"-1 1/2" Driveway Gravel | Heavier traffic and soft ground | Bigger stone spreads the load and resists rutting. |
| 1 1/2" Driveway Gravel | Deep base layer under a finer top | Creates a stable foundation that prevents settling. |
| 2"-3" Driveway Gravel | Rural lanes, mud control, first lift | Coarse enough to bridge soft spots and improve traction. |

Saint Clair records about 72 wet days each year, meaning rain or snow often reaches at least a tenth of an inch. That many wet days make it important to schedule delivery when the ground is firm. About 105 days a year fall below 32F, so the ground freezes and thaws regularly. Winters here are cold enough to move an unsettled base, so compaction is worth the extra pass.
The area sees about 11 inches of snowfall per year. Plowing a loose gravel surface can push stone aside unless the top layer is well compacted. Ground freezing in Saint Clair is real but moderate, which means the base layer should be thick enough to resist frost heave.
Soils around Saint Clair take water in slowly and shed a fair amount across the surface. A deeper drainage layer of coarse gravel below the finished grade helps keep the driveway stable through wet months.
To figure the tonnage for your project, measure the length and width of the area, decide on the depth, and use the driveway gravel calculator on the Gravel Monkey site. It converts cubic yards into tons based on the specific material.

Use the driveway gravel calculator on the Gravel Monkey site to get an accurate tonnage. Saint Clair experiences about 105 freezing days a year, so a deeper base may be needed to handle frost action.
