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






Driveway gravel needs to stand up to freeze and thaw cycles, especially across a state where annual rainfall runs from about 47 to 52 inches and freezing days range from about 77 to 114 per year. The right stone and the right base depth keep your driveway from turning into a rutted mess by spring. Gravel Monkey delivers driveway gravel by the ton to any address in New Jersey, priced by ZIP at checkout, with loads from 1 to 40+ tons.
The most-ordered driveway gravel in New Jersey is the standard 3/4" Driveway Gravel, which locks together well under traffic. For different conditions, these alternatives are available:
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Driveway Gravel | General driveway top layer | A reliable all-purpose mix for most private drives. |
| 3/8" Driveway Gravel | Smooth top dressing | Comfortable underfoot, works well for walkways and parking areas. |
| 3/4" Driveway Gravel | Standard driveway size | Locks together, handles light truck and car traffic. |
| 1"-1 1/2" Driveway Gravel | Heavier traffic and soft ground | A larger stone that spreads load over weaker soils. |
| 1 1/2" Driveway Gravel | Deep base layer | Use under a finer top for added stability. |
| 2"-3" Driveway Gravel | Rural lanes, mud control | First lift stone that bridges soft spots and resists rutting. |
Different jobs call for different stone sizes and depths. The table below matches common driveway projects to the right product and base thickness.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Parking pad | 3/4" Driveway Gravel | 4 inches compacted |
| New driveway base | 1 1/2" Driveway Gravel | 6 to 8 inches, then top with 3/4" |
| Resurfacing an existing driveway | 3/4" Driveway Gravel or 3/8" Driveway Gravel | 2 to 3 inches over existing base |
| Muddy rural lane | 2"-3" Driveway Gravel | First lift 8 to 12 inches |
| Culvert and shoulder repair | 1"-1 1/2" Driveway Gravel | Fill and compact to match surrounding grade |
Across the cities Gravel Monkey serves, annual precipitation runs from about 47 to 52 inches. Soils in much of the state are in hydrologic groups A/D and A, which means they drain well unless compacted. For driveways, that usually calls for a deeper first lift to keep water from pooling under the stone. Freeze and thaw cycles work on loose material all winter, which is the argument for the deeper first lift. The moderate frost band across most of New Jersey means the ground freezes several inches deep, but not so deep that a 6- to 8-inch base of 1 1/2" stone cannot hold up.
About 77 to 114 days a year fall below 32 degrees Fahrenheit, depending on location. That many freeze-thaw cycles shift stone and push it into the shoulders. A well-compacted base with a coarse first layer reduces the yearly maintenance needed.
