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






A dump truck pulls up to the address you specify. You mark the drop spot, and the driver unloads the material in one pile. Prineville gets about 11 inches of precipitation a year, so planning for drainage is part of any gravel job.
Ordering is done online by the ton. The delivery fee is calculated at checkout based on your ZIP code and the total weight. Loads can range from 1 ton up to 40-plus tons on a single truck.
The split between base material and finish material is straightforward. A deeper, chunkier gravel goes underneath to handle weight and movement, and a tighter, smaller gravel goes on top for a stable driving surface. The table below lists the driveway gravel options Gravel Monkey delivers to Prineville.
| Product | Intended use | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Driveway Gravel | General driveway top layer | A versatile blend that works for most residential driveways. |
| 3/8" Driveway Gravel | Smooth top dressing, comfortable underfoot | Good for paths and driveways where you walk or kneel on the surface. |
| 3/4" Driveway Gravel | The standard driveway size, locks together well | This size compacts firmly and resists shifting under cars. |
| 1"-1 1/2" Driveway Gravel | Heavier traffic and soft ground | A larger stone that bridges soft spots and spreads the load. |
| 1 1/2" Driveway Gravel | Deep base layer under a finer top | Use this as the first lift when building a new driveway from scratch. |
| 2"-3" Driveway Gravel | Rural lanes, mud control, first lift | The heaviest option, ideal for remote access roads and boggy areas. |
The choice often comes down to how permanent you want the solution to be. A budget fix uses a single layer of a mid-size gravel; a long-term driveway uses two or more lifts with a heavy base first. The table below matches five typical projects to the products Gravel Monkey offers.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Culvert and shoulder repair | 2"-3" Driveway Gravel | Fill with a coarse stone that lets water pass and stabilizes the edge. |
| Muddy rural lane | 1"-1 1/2" Driveway Gravel | Start with this size to stop rutting, then cap with a finer gravel. |
| Parking pad | 3/4" Driveway Gravel | A single layer at 3 to 4 inches deep usually holds a car or truck. |
| New driveway base | 1 1/2" Driveway Gravel | Spread 4 to 6 inches of this, then top with a tighter stone. |
| Resurfacing an existing driveway | 3/8" Driveway Gravel | A thin overlay of 2 to 3 inches freshens the surface and fills ruts. |
Prineville soils mapped in the area are commonly well drained, which means less base stone is needed under the surface layer compared to heavy clay ground. The ground around Prineville is in hydrologic group B, taking water in at a moderate rate, so a standard base depth is usually enough to keep the driveway stable.
About 29 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain, so scheduling delivery onto firm ground matters. The county gets about 14 inches of snowfall, and plowing can loosen a surface that is not compacted well. About 174 days a year drop below 32F, which narrows the work window and causes the ground to heave. Deep and long ground freezing means the base layer needs to be thick enough to resist movement.
Hard freezes shape the calendar here, so base work is easier to get right from late spring through fall. Planning the project during those months gives you dry soil and stable temperatures for compaction.
Tonnage depends on the area you are covering and the depth you want. A standard driveway that is 12 feet wide by 40 feet long and 4 inches deep needs roughly 6 to 7 tons, but every project is different. Use the driveway gravel calculator to enter your dimensions and get a tonnage estimate before you order.
Gravel Monkey is a national aggregate broker, so there is no yard to visit in Prineville. You order online by the ton, and the delivery fee is shown at checkout based on your ZIP code. A dump truck hauls the material to your address and unloads it in the spot you choose. Load sizes range from 1 ton up to 40-plus tons on a single truck, and free delivery is available on qualifying orders.
The delivery date you pick at checkout must be at least 3 business days after the order date. You choose a window: morning (7 am to 12 pm) or afternoon (12 pm to 5 pm). A valid phone number is required to confirm the delivery, and you will receive an email confirmation, then a second email closer to the date with the scheduled window and a photo of the material being loaded. Delivery only goes ahead once you approve that second email. You or someone you nominate must be at the site during the window. The site needs a road width of at least 12 feet for the truck. If access is restricted, the crew unloads as close to the requested spot as safely possible. Use the code FIRSTTIMER50 for $50 off a first order.

Depending on your project, you might want one of these materials for the job.
Delivery cost depends on your ZIP code and the tonnage ordered. Because Prineville gets about 11 inches of precipitation a year, the delivery window you choose may affect scheduling, but the exact fee is shown at checkout before you confirm.
The tonnage depends on the area and depth of your driveway. Soils in the Prineville area are commonly well drained, which may reduce the base depth needed, but you should still use the driveway gravel calculator for an accurate estimate based on your measurements.
A typical gravel driveway uses a 4 to 6 inch base of larger stone topped with 2 to 3 inches of finer gravel. If the ground is soft or freezes deeply, which happens in Prineville, the base may need to be thicker. The exact depth depends on the soil and the expected traffic.
