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






Driveway gravel is the surface you drive on every day. It has to stand up to tires, weather, and the freeze-thaw cycle. Tionesta gets about 46 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage and washout planning matter when you choose a size.
Gravel Monkey delivers by the ton straight to your address. You pick the size and the delivery day, and we handle the truck and the drop.
Each size handles a different job. The right pick depends on traffic, ground conditions, and whether this is a top layer or a base. The table below shows what each product is for and what it is not best suited for.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Driveway Gravel | General driveway top layer | Not ideal for very soft ground without a deeper base beneath it. |
| 3/8" Driveway Gravel | Smooth top dressing, comfortable underfoot | Not made for heavy truck traffic or deep mud. |
| 3/4" Driveway Gravel | The standard driveway size, locks together well | Can rut on a weak subgrade; needs a solid base in wet areas. |
| 1"-1 1/2" Driveway Gravel | Heavier traffic and soft ground | Not intended as a smooth top layer; use a finer size on top. |
| 1 1/2" Driveway Gravel | Deep base layer under a finer top | Too coarse for a finished driveway surface alone. |
| 2"-3" Driveway Gravel | Rural lanes, mud control, first lift | Not for a driving surface; needs a finer cap for daily use. |
The job site tells you which product to order. Use this table to match the surface condition to the material.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Culvert and shoulder repair | 2"-3" Driveway Gravel | 6 to 8 inches for a stable shoulder. |
| New driveway base | 1 1/2" Driveway Gravel | 4 to 6 inches, then a top layer. |
| Parking pad | 3/4" Driveway Gravel | 4 inches compacted, with a solid base. |
| Resurfacing an existing driveway | 3/8" Driveway Gravel | 2 inches as a fresh top dressing. |
| Muddy rural lane | 2"-3" Driveway Gravel | 8 to 12 inches first lift for traction. |
Tionesta gets about 46 inches of precipitation a year. That moisture, combined with about 100 wet days, makes scheduling the delivery onto firm ground important. Spring thaw is the wet part of the year for driveways, and it is when a thin base shows up as ruts.
Freezing temperatures occur roughly 155 days a year, so the ground moves and heaves. That frost cycle means the base layer needs to be deeper than in milder climates to stay stable. Around Tionesta, soils are commonly moderately well drained, but the ground here is in dual hydrologic group C/D. Where it is drained, water enters slowly and much runs across the surface. Where it is not drained, most rain runs off. The result: drainage and a deeper base matter more here than in many other places.
Snowfall averages about 72 inches a year. Plowing that snow can gouge a loose surface if the gravel is too fine or the base is thin. The top layer should be coarse enough to hold under a blade.
Order by the ton, not by the cubic yard. The volume your project needs depends on the area, the depth, and how well the gravel compacts. Use our driveway gravel calculator to estimate tonnage based on your measurements. It accounts for compaction and typical waste.
Buying is simple. Order online by the ton, and the price is shown at checkout based on your ZIP code. A dump truck delivers to your address, carrying 1 to 40-plus tons per load. Free delivery is available on qualifying orders. Use code FIRSTTIMER50 for $50 off your first order.
You choose a delivery window: morning (7 am to 12 pm) or afternoon (12 pm to 5 pm). The lead time is at least 3 business days. You get an email confirmation, then a second email closer to the date with the scheduled window and a photo of the material being loaded. Delivery goes ahead only after you approve that second email. Someone must be at the site during the window. The truck needs a road width of at least 12 feet to access the property.

Delivery cost is calculated by your ZIP code and the tonnage you order at checkout. Tionesta gets about 46 inches of precipitation a year, which may affect the depth you need, but the price per ton is set by the supplier network. There are no hidden fees for the delivery itself on qualifying orders.
Yes, we deliver to Tionesta and the broader Forest County area. With about 100 wet days a year, scheduling your delivery on a firm, dry day helps avoid ruts. The truck comes to your address, and you choose the window.
The driver will back in as close to the spot you request as the truck can safely reach. You must be present or have someone at the site during the delivery window. If access is restricted, the crew unloads as close as possible to that location.
The price depends on your delivery ZIP code and the total tonnage. It is shown at checkout before you confirm the order. Free delivery is available on orders that meet a minimum tonnage threshold. No further charges are added after you approve the delivery confirmation.
