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






If you are putting in a new driveway or fixing a muddy stretch, the right gravel makes the difference between a surface that stays put and one that ruts every spring. Chesterfield gets about 47 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage matters from the start. Two products that handle that well are 3/4" Driveway Gravel for a locked-in top layer and 2"-3" Driveway Gravel for a deep base that sheds water.
Building a driveway that lasts means matching the stone size to the ground underneath. The smaller sizes give you a smooth finish, while the larger ones carry the load on soft soil. Gravel Monkey delivers both to your address anywhere in the Chesterfield area.
Every driveway job starts with a base layer and ends with a top course. The table below shows the six sizes we deliver, what each does best, and how it fits into a Chesterfield driveway.
| Product | Best use | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Driveway Gravel | General driveway top layer | All-purpose blend for most driveways. |
| 3/8" Driveway Gravel | Smooth top dressing, comfortable underfoot | Works well for walkable areas and paths. |
| 3/4" Driveway Gravel | The standard driveway size, locks together well | Good drainage and stable surface. |
| 1"-1 1/2" Driveway Gravel | Heavier traffic and soft ground | Handles trucks and clay subgrades. |
| 1 1/2" Driveway Gravel | Deep base layer under a finer top | Adds strength and lifts the grade. |
| 2"-3" Driveway Gravel | Rural lanes, mud control, first lift | Coarse stone that locks into soft ground. |
The table below matches common Chesterfield driveway projects with the gravel size that works best. The budget option uses a single size; the long-term option uses a base and a top course.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Resurfacing an existing driveway | 3/4" Driveway Gravel | 2 to 3 inches over compacted base |
| New driveway base | 2"-3" Driveway Gravel then 3/4" Driveway Gravel | 6 to 8 inches of base, 2 inches of top |
| Muddy rural lane | 2"-3" Driveway Gravel | 4 to 6 inches, depending on rut depth |
| Parking pad | 1 1/2" Driveway Gravel then 3/8" Driveway Gravel | 4 inches of base, 1.5 inches of finish |
| Culvert and shoulder repair | 1"-1 1/2" Driveway Gravel | Fill to match surrounding grade |
Chesterfield sees about 85 wet days a year, so scheduling delivery onto firm ground matters. Spring thaw is the wet part of the year for driveways, and it is when a thin base shows up as ruts. With about 60 inches of snowfall annually, plowing can loosen a surface that is not thick enough, especially if the ground freezes and thaws repeatedly.
Ground freezing here is deep and long, which means the base layer needs to go below the frost line to prevent heaving. Soils mapped in the Chesterfield area take water in slowly and shed a fair amount across the surface. A deeper drainage layer of 2"-3" Driveway Gravel under the finish course gives water a path out instead of letting it soften the subgrade.
About 159 days a year drop below 32F, limiting the work window for any gravel placement. Plan your project for late spring or early fall, when the ground is firm and dry.
Tonnage depends on the area you are covering and the depth you need. For a standard two-car driveway about 20 feet long and 10 feet wide, a 4-inch layer needs around 5 tons. Use our driveway gravel calculator to estimate the right amount for your project. It works for any size or depth.

Driveway gravel is the top layer, but the job often needs other materials. These products pair with gravel for a complete driveway or parking area.
Delivery cost is calculated by your ZIP code at checkout. The price covers the material and the truck coming to your address. There are no surprise fees. Chesterfield is served from regional quarries, so the exact cost depends on distance from the nearest source. You see the total before you confirm the order.
Use our driveway gravel calculator to get a tonnage estimate. A standard 20-by-10-foot driveway at 4 inches deep needs about 5 tons. The calculator lets you enter your own length, width and depth. It covers any driveway shape.
The driver places the load where you direct them on your property, as long as the truck can reach the spot safely. You need to be present during the delivery window, or have someone you nominate on site. If the access is restricted, the crew unloads as close to the requested spot as safely possible.
The price is based on the tonnage you order plus the shipping distance from the nearest regional supplier to your ZIP code. You enter your address at checkout, and the system shows the total. Delivery is free on qualifying orders. The exact threshold varies by location, but you will see it in the cart.
