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






Driveway gravel is a crushed stone blend sized to lock together under vehicle weight. Choosing the right size matters because the local climate affects performance. Redmond gets about 10 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage and washout planning are important.
The gravel you select needs to shed water rather than trap it. That is why base preparation and stone size matter for a long-lasting driveway surface.
Each driveway gravel size serves a different purpose. The table below shows what each product is and what it is not suitable for.
| Product | What it is for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Driveway Gravel | General driveway top layer | Not for smooth, decorative pathways. |
| 3/8" Driveway Gravel | Smooth top dressing, comfortable underfoot | Not for heavy traffic areas. |
| 3/4" Driveway Gravel | Standard driveway size, locks together well | Not for very soft ground needing a deep base. |
| 1"-1 1/2" Driveway Gravel | Heavier traffic and soft ground | Not for a finished surface where you want a tight, compacted look. |
| 1 1/2" Driveway Gravel | Deep base layer under a finer top | Not for direct use as a driving surface. |
| 2"-3" Driveway Gravel | Rural lanes, mud control, first lift | Not for finish applications; it is too coarse. |
The table below matches common driveway jobs to the recommended gravel size.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| New driveway base | 2"-3" Driveway Gravel | Start with this, then top with 3/4" Driveway Gravel. |
| Muddy rural lane | 2"-3" Driveway Gravel | Use for mud control and first lift. |
| Culvert and shoulder repair | 3/4" Driveway Gravel | Standard size for stable repairs. |
| Parking pad | 3/4" Driveway Gravel | Locks together well for vehicle parking. |
| Resurfacing an existing driveway | 3/4" Driveway Gravel | Top layer over a compacted base. |
Redmond sits in Deschutes County, which permitted about 1,148 single-family homes in 2024, meaning many new driveways are being built. The local climate influences how driveway gravel performs. About 29 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain, so scheduling the delivery onto firm ground matters.
With about 10 inches of precipitation a year, drainage planning matters. Well-drained soils commonly mapped in the Redmond area help, but the base depth still needs to be adequate. The ground around Redmond is in hydrologic group B, which means it takes water in at a moderate rate, so a standard base depth is usually enough.
The area sees about 168 freezing days a year and about 14 inches of snowfall. Freeze and thaw cycles work on loose material all winter, which is the argument for the deeper first lift. Plowing can damage a loose surface, so a compacted top layer is important.

Yes, because Redmond gets about 10 inches of precipitation a year. That may not seem high, but the freeze-thaw cycles and snowmelt can cause washout if the base is not prepared properly. Proper drainage is still important to prevent erosion.

A typical gravel driveway is 4 to 6 inches deep after compaction. Deeper may be needed in areas with heavy traffic or soft ground. The base layer should be 6 to 8 inches of larger stone, topped with 2 to 3 inches of finer gravel.
