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






Buying driveway gravel in La Grande means ordering by the ton online and having it delivered by dump truck to your address. You pick the size and choose a delivery day at checkout, and Gravel Monkey handles the rest. Union County permitted about 36 single-family homes in 2024, so many new driveways need a solid stone surface from the start.
Driveway gravel is not just a top layer; it also provides drainage and load support. The key is to match the stone size to the traffic and ground conditions. This page lists the driveway gravel sizes Gravel Monkey delivers to La Grande and explains what each one does.
Not every size works for every driveway, so choose based on your traffic and ground conditions. The table below shows the most common options, what each is for, and a short note on its best use.
| Product | What it is for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Driveway Gravel | General driveway top layer | Works for standard residential driveways with moderate traffic. |
| 3/8" Driveway Gravel | Smooth top dressing, comfortable underfoot | Ideal for walkable surfaces like parking pads or paths. |
| 3/4" Driveway Gravel | The standard driveway size, locks together well | Good balance of stability and drainage for most driveways. |
| 1"-1 1/2" Driveway Gravel | Heavier traffic and soft ground | Use as a base layer or for driveways with trucks and equipment. |
| 1 1/2" Driveway Gravel | Deep base layer under a finer top | Provides a stable foundation that resists settling and rutting. |
| 2"-3" Driveway Gravel | Rural lanes, mud control, first lift | Best for soft ground or areas that need heavy mud control. |
Different driveway jobs need different gravel sizes. This quick guide matches common projects to the right material and depth.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Culvert and shoulder repair | 1 1/2" Driveway Gravel | Use as a base, then top with 3/4" for a firm surface. |
| Muddy rural lane | 2"-3" Driveway Gravel | Apply 4 to 6 inches deep to lift the road above mud. |
| Parking pad | 3/4" Driveway Gravel | Compact in 4 inches for a stable, level area. |
| New driveway base | 1"-1 1/2" Driveway Gravel | Lay 6 to 8 inches on soft ground for heavy traffic. |
| Resurfacing an existing driveway | 3/8" Driveway Gravel | Add 2 to 3 inches over a compacted base for a smooth finish. |
Ground freezing in La Grande is deep and long, so the base layer under your driveway gravel must be deep enough to prevent frost heave. A proper base of 6 to 8 inches of larger stone is typical for driveways that see heavy use.
Hard freezes shape the calendar here, so base work is easier to get right from late spring through fall. Union County has a mix of rural lanes and in-town lots, which means driveway gravel is used for everything from long farm roads to short suburban drives. With a population of about 13,019, many existing driveways need maintenance, and the new building permits in 2024 add fresh demand for surfacing. Choosing the right size and depth keeps the driveway stable across all seasons.
A ton of driveway gravel covers roughly 100 square feet at a 2-inch depth, but your exact need depends on the area and the thickness you want. Use the driveway gravel calculator to get a tonnage estimate based on your measurements and desired depth.
