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






The delivered price on driveway gravel depends on the size you choose and the miles from the nearest regional quarry. Bonanza's 16 inches of precipitation a year means drainage planning matters more than stone cost alone.
Pick the grade that handles your traffic and your ground, and let Gravel Monkey handle the truck and the drop. You get a firm delivered quote at checkout based on your ZIP code.
Each product is a crushed stone with angular edges that lock together under load. Choose the top-layer grade for surface finish and the base grade for structural depth; the right combination keeps maintenance low.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Driveway Gravel | General purpose top layer | Mixed sizes, good for most residential drives. |
| 3/8" Driveway Gravel | Smooth top dressing | Comfortable underfoot, works for walkways and parking. |
| 3/4" Driveway Gravel | Standard driveway size | Locks together well, shed water, resists rutting. |
| 1"-1 1/2" Driveway Gravel | Heavier traffic and soft ground | Large stones bridge weak subsoils without pumping. |
| 1 1/2" Driveway Gravel | Deep base layer | Put this under a finer top for structural strength. |
| 2"-3" Driveway Gravel | Rural lanes, mud control | First lift on soft ground; allows water to pass. |
The table below matches common driveway jobs to the right material and depth. Use it as a starting point, then adjust for your site conditions.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Culvert and shoulder repair | 2"-3" Driveway Gravel | 6 to 8 inches, compacted in lifts |
| New driveway base | 1 1/2" Driveway Gravel | 4 to 6 inches, topped with 3/4" finish |
| Parking pad | 3/4" Driveway Gravel | 4 inches minimum, well compacted |
| Muddy rural lane | 2"-3" Driveway Gravel | 8 to 12 inches as a first lift |
| Resurfacing an existing driveway | 3/4" Driveway Gravel | 2 to 3 inches over existing stone |
Bonanza's 184 freezing days a year mean the ground heaves and thaws repeatedly. Freeze and thaw cycles work on loose material all winter, which is the argument for the deeper first lift. A 6-inch base of 2"-3" stone under the surface layer resists frost jacking better than a thin lift.
The area's soils are mapped as excessively drained, so water moves through quickly. Hydrologic group A behavior means rain soaks in fast and produces little runoff. That reduces the need for extra drainage stone under the surface, but the 52 inches of snowfall each year calls for a firm surface that plow blades will not tear up. A 3/4" top layer with good interlock holds up to plowing better than a loose 3/8" grade.
Bonanza gets about 53 wet days a year with at least a tenth of an inch. Scheduling the delivery onto firm ground avoids ruts from the dump truck, especially in spring when the frost leaves the top few inches soft.
Calculate the tonnage by multiplying the length by the width by the desired depth in feet, then multiply by the weight per cubic foot of the stone you choose. Use the driveway gravel calculator to get a quick estimate for your Bonanza address before you order.
Order online by the ton, and the price is shown at checkout based on your ZIP code. A dump truck delivers the load to your address, with loads typically ranging from 1 to 40-plus tons.

Pair the stone with the right underlayment or companion product for a complete driveway build.
Bonanza gets about 16 inches of precipitation a year. That is moderate, but the 53 wet days and rapid soil drainage (group A behavior) mean water will not pond for long. A well-graded crushed stone that locks together and slopes the surface is still the correct call, but you do not need extra drainage stone under the surface for most sites.
Bonanza has about 184 freezing days a year. The repeated freeze-thaw cycles lift and settle the surface, so a deeper base layer of 1 1/2-inch or 2-to-3-inch stone is recommended. This keeps the top layer stable and reduces the maintenance interval.
Driveway gravel is not a paving substitute for heavy commercial or industrial traffic. It will rut under repeated turning loads and does not provide a dust-free surface. For walks or patios, a finer grade such as 3/8-inch is better.
Install edge restraints like timber, steel edging, or concrete curbs along the driveway sides. A 2-to-3-inch gravel shoulder that matches the surface grade also helps contain the stone. Without edging, vehicle tires and rain will push the gravel off the driveway over time.
