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






Driveway gravel is the most common bulk material ordered in Pennsylvania for rural properties, farm lanes, and new subdivisions. Gravel Monkey delivers this material by the ton to addresses across the state, with pricing calculated by ZIP at checkout.
Orders range from 1 ton to 40 or more tons, and the delivery date is chosen during checkout. Every load comes on a dump truck that backs up to your designated spot.
All six sizes of driveway gravel are available for delivery in Pennsylvania. Each grade suits a different part of the driveway or a different traffic level. The table below matches the product to its typical use.
| Product | Purpose | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Driveway Gravel | General driveway top layer | Works as a single-layer surface on stable ground. |
| 3/8" Driveway Gravel | Smooth top dressing, comfortable underfoot | Best for walking surfaces and fine finish. |
| 3/4" Driveway Gravel | The standard driveway size, locks together well | Most popular for new driveways on good soil. |
| 1"-1 1/2" Driveway Gravel | Heavier traffic and soft ground | Handles trucks and repeated use without rutting. |
| 1 1/2" Driveway Gravel | Deep base layer under a finer top | Provides drainage and stability for the surface layer. |
| 2"-3" Driveway Gravel | Rural lanes, mud control, first lift | Used on very soft ground or for mud control. |
The table below matches five common driveway problems to the right product and depth. Base your choice on the condition of the ground and the traffic it will carry.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| New driveway base | 1 1/2" Driveway Gravel | 4 to 6 inches deep on compacted subgrade |
| Muddy rural lane | 2"-3" Driveway Gravel | 8 to 12 inches to lift above mire |
| Culvert and shoulder repair | 1"-1 1/2" Driveway Gravel | 6 inches around culvert ends |
| Resurfacing an existing driveway | 3/4" Driveway Gravel | 2 to 3 inches as a fresh top coat |
| Parking pad | 3/8" Driveway Gravel | 3 inches for a firm, even surface |
Annual rainfall across the cities we deliver to in Pennsylvania runs from about 42 to 49 inches. That range is high enough to push water through the driveway surface, so a well-draining base layer is essential. The number of days below freezing ranges from about 111 to 161 per year, depending on location. Ground that freezes deep moves as it thaws, which is why the base layer matters more here than the top layer.
Most of the state sits in the severe band for ground freezing. That means frost can penetrate 3 to 4 feet or more in open ground. On top of that, the dominant soil hydrologic groups across the served cities are D and C, both of which drain poorly. Those soils hold water and heave when frozen. A thicker base of coarse driveway gravel, at least 6 to 8 inches on group D soils, will reduce frost movement and keep the surface even.
PennDOT operates a spring load-restriction program on many paved roads. The restrictions limit heavy truck traffic when the road base is weakened by thawing. Your delivery may be routed around those roads or scheduled after the restrictions lift. Gravel Monkey factors that into the order timeline.

Driveway gravel is sold by the ton, and the amount you need depends on the area and the depth you choose. A 10-foot-wide by 50-foot-long driveway at 4 inches deep takes about 4.5 tons of 3/4" stone. Use the driveway gravel calculator on our site to convert dimensions to tons for any project.

PennDOT runs a spring load-restriction program on many paved roads when the ground thaws. These restrictions can affect truck routing and delivery dates. Gravel Monkey schedules deliveries around those limitations to avoid delays.
Annual rainfall ranges from 42 to 49 inches across the cities we serve, and freezing days range from 111 to 161 per year. These conditions mean driveway gravel needs a deeper base on poorly draining soils. If your property has group D soil, plan for a thicker lift of coarse gravel to resist frost heave.
