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






Many buyers order a single driveway gravel size and spread it over the whole job. That works for a thin top dressing but not for a driveway that stays firm year after year. The correction is simple: use a larger stone for the base and a tighter stone for the surface.
Cadiz gets about 42 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage and washout planning matter from the start. A base layer that lets water pass and a surface that locks together will hold up better through wet months.
The products below split into base material and finish material. The larger sizes build a stable foundation, and the smaller sizes create a smooth, locked surface. Choose the grade that fits the layer you are working on.
| Product | Use | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Driveway Gravel | General driveway top layer | Versatile blend for a durable driving surface. |
| 3/8" Driveway Gravel | Smooth top dressing, comfortable underfoot | Best for a finished surface that feels solid. |
| 3/4" Driveway Gravel | The standard driveway size, locks together well | Most popular for residential driveways. |
| 1"-1 1/2" Driveway Gravel | Heavier traffic and soft ground | Handles trucks and equipment without shifting. |
| 1 1/2" Driveway Gravel | Deep base layer under a finer top | Provides drainage and stability beneath the surface. |
| 2"-3" Driveway Gravel | Rural lanes, mud control, first lift | Great for building a new road base from scratch. |
Match the project type to the right product. A budget option uses a single crushed stone, while a long-term driveway uses a base and a separate surface layer.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Muddy rural lane | 2"-3" Driveway Gravel | 6 to 8 inches for a firm base |
| New driveway base | 1 1/2" Driveway Gravel | 4 to 6 inches, compacted |
| Culvert and shoulder repair | 1"-1 1/2" Driveway Gravel | Fill and grade level |
| Parking pad | 3/4" Driveway Gravel | 4 inches of compacted stone |
| Resurfacing an existing driveway | 3/8" Driveway Gravel | 2 to 3 inches over existing gravel |
Cadiz sees about 111 days a year with temperatures below 32F. That many freeze-thaw cycles can push an un-compacted base out of shape. Winters here are cold enough to move an unsettled base, so compaction is worth the extra pass. A well-compacted base resists shifting and stays level through the winter.
Ground freezing in Cadiz is real but moderate. That means the base layer under the surface stone needs to be thick enough to handle the movement. A 4-inch base is the minimum for most driveways, but a deeper base adds insurance against frost heave.
The ground around Cadiz takes water in very slowly, so most rain runs across the surface. This behavior makes drainage and a deeper base more important here than elsewhere. A base of larger stone lets water drain away from the surface layer and prevents washouts during heavy rain.
Use the driveway gravel calculator to estimate how many tons you need. Enter the length, width, and desired depth of the area. The calculator accounts for compaction and gives a total in tons, which is how driveway gravel is sold and delivered.

These materials work alongside driveway gravel for the same job.
The delivery cost depends on your ZIP code and the tonnage you order. Because the ground around Cadiz takes water in very slowly and most rain runs across the surface, a deeper base is often needed, which increases the amount of stone required. The exact price is shown at checkout before you confirm the order.
Use the driveway gravel calculator on this page to estimate. The local freeze-thaw cycle, with about 111 days below 32F each year, means a deeper base is wise, so plan for more tons than a minimal calculation would suggest. The calculator accounts for the depth you choose and the compaction factor.
The delivery price is calculated at checkout based on your ZIP code and the total tons you order. It includes the material cost and the truck delivery to your address. There are no hidden fees, and you see the full price before you pay.
