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






Many homeowners order driveway gravel without separating the base from the top layer. That error often leads to shifting stones, ruts and a driveway that needs redoing sooner than expected. The fix is choosing the right size for each part of the job.
Reidsville gets about 47 inches of precipitation a year, which means drainage matters. A well-designed gravel driveway sheds water rather than trapping it. Planning the base and surface together avoids washouts and soft spots.
Gravel works in two layers: a coarse base that carries the load and a finer surface that stays firm under tires. The sizes below cover both jobs, from a heavy first lift to a smooth top dressing.
| Product | Best for | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Driveway Gravel | General driveway top layer | A blended mix that compacts well for everyday use. |
| 3/8" Driveway Gravel | Smooth top dressing, comfortable underfoot | Small particles make a tight, even surface that feels solid. |
| 3/4" Driveway Gravel | The standard driveway size, locks together well | Interlocks to resist spreading under traffic. |
| 1"-1 1/2" Driveway Gravel | Heavier traffic and soft ground | Larger stone handles bigger loads without sinking. |
| 1 1/2" Driveway Gravel | Deep base layer under a finer top | Provides structure and drainage for the surface layer. |
| 2"-3" Driveway Gravel | Rural lanes, mud control, first lift | Oversized rock bridges soft spots and stops mud. |
The table below matches typical projects to the right product. Going with a budget option may work short-term, while the long-term choice often pays off in fewer repairs.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Muddy rural lane | 2"-3" Driveway Gravel as first lift, then 3/4" Driveway Gravel on top | 6 to 8 inches total; the base stops the mud. |
| Culvert and shoulder repair | 1"-1 1/2" Driveway Gravel | 4 to 6 inches for stability against water flow. |
| Parking pad | 3/4" Driveway Gravel or 3/8" Driveway Gravel for a smooth finish | 4 inches minimum; compact in lifts. |
| Resurfacing an existing driveway | 3/8" Driveway Gravel or 3/4" Driveway Gravel | 2 to 3 inches to refresh the top layer. |
| New driveway base | 1 1/2" Driveway Gravel then 3/4" Driveway Gravel surface | 6 to 8 inches total base, 2 inches surface. |
Soils mapped in the Reidsville area are commonly well drained. That means water moves through the ground rather than pooling, so the base layer under your driveway gravel may not need to be as deep as it would in heavy clay areas.
About 79 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Scheduling the delivery onto firm ground matters: a wet base compacts poorly and can rut later. Freezing temperatures occur on roughly 76 days a year, which narrows the work window for spreading and compacting gravel. Work can run most of the year in this climate, which makes scheduling the delivery the easy part.
The ground around Reidsville is in hydrologic group B, which means it takes water in at a moderate rate. Standard base depth is usually enough to handle runoff without extra underlayment.
Figuring out the tonnage starts with the area and the planned depth. A single cubic yard of gravel weighs about 1.4 tons, so a 10-foot-wide by 50-foot-long driveway with a 4-inch base takes around 9 tons. Use the driveway gravel calculator to get a precise number for your dimensions and desired thickness.
You order online by the ton, and the delivery price is calculated by your ZIP code at checkout. A dump truck brings the material to your address, with loads from 1 ton up to 40 tons or more.

There is no local yard to visit. Gravel Monkey is a national aggregate broker that sources from regional suppliers, so the truck comes directly from a nearby quarry to your site.

These materials pair naturally with driveway gravel, whether you are adding a walkway, building a base, or finishing a surface.
Delivery cost is calculated at checkout based on your ZIP code and the total tonnage. Snowfall in Reidsville averages about 7 inches a year, so if you plan to plow the driveway, a well-graded surface layer with the right stone size can reduce damage and extend the life of the gravel.
The number of tons depends on the area you are covering and the depth you choose. Ground freezing is not a significant factor in Reidsville, so you may not need as deep a base as in colder climates. Use the driveway gravel calculator to get an accurate estimate.
The price is determined by the tonnage you order and your delivery ZIP code. You see the total before you confirm the order, and you can choose a morning or afternoon delivery window at checkout.
The driver places the material as close to your requested spot as the truck can safely access. The site needs a road width of at least 12 feet. If access is tight, the crew unloads as near to the intended area as conditions allow.
