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






A load of driveway gravel is a straightforward purchase. You order it by the ton, you see the delivered price for your ZIP before checkout, and a dump truck brings it to your address. Gravel Monkey delivers driveway gravel across South Carolina, connecting you with regional suppliers to get the right material for your project.
Whether you are resurfacing a long lane or topping a new base, the size you choose and the amount you order depend on the ground and the traffic. The sections below cover what is available and how to get an accurate tonnage estimate.
Each driveway gravel size fits a different job. The layer you pick controls stability, drainage and how often you need to top it up. The table below lists every size we deliver across South Carolina.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Driveway Gravel | General driveway top layer | A blended product that works for most residential driveways. |
| 3/8" Driveway Gravel | Smooth top dressing | Comfortable underfoot and good for walkways or short driveways. |
| 3/4" Driveway Gravel | Standard driveway size | Locks together well and resists washout on moderate slopes. |
| 1"-1 1/2" Driveway Gravel | Heavier traffic and soft ground | Larger stone spreads load and reduces rutting. |
| 1 1/2" Driveway Gravel | Deep base layer under a finer top | Provides a stable foundation that prevents the top stone from pushing into the soil. |
| 2"-3" Driveway Gravel | Rural lanes, mud control, first lift | Coarse stone that handles heavy mud and soft subgrades. |
Your project surface and the stone size you need go hand in hand. The table below maps common jobs to the right product and a typical depth.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Resurfacing an existing driveway | 3/4" Driveway Gravel or Driveway Gravel | 2 to 3 inches for a stable new surface |
| Culvert and shoulder repair | 1 1/2" Driveway Gravel or 1"-1 1/2" Driveway Gravel | 4 to 6 inches for strength around drains |
| Parking pad | 3/4" Driveway Gravel | 4 inches compacted for full vehicle support |
| Muddy rural lane | 2"-3" Driveway Gravel as a first lift | 6 to 8 inches on soft ground, then a finer top if desired |
| New driveway base | 1 1/2" Driveway Gravel or 1"-1 1/2" Driveway Gravel | 4 to 6 inches, add a 2-inch top course of 3/4" stone |
South Carolina's climate and soil vary by region. Across the cities we deliver to, annual precipitation runs from about 46 to 55 inches. That much rain drives washout and softens subgrades. The soil in most served areas falls into hydrologic groups B and B/D, meaning moderate to slow drainage. A thicker base of coarse stone is often needed to keep the driveway usable in wet weather.
Freezing days range from about 22 to 65 days a year below 32F, but most of the state sits in the negligible band for ground freezing. Frost heave is rare, so the driving season is wide open. Frost is not the constraint here, so the calendar is driven by rain and by how wet the ground is. Ordering in drier months makes compaction easier and reduces the chance of the stone pushing into mud.

Beyond driveway gravel, Gravel Monkey carries several related aggregates. Each has its own statewide page with product details.
Heavy rainfall and slow-draining soil are the main factors. Annual precipitation across our served cities runs from 46 to 55 inches, so choosing a larger or angular stone can reduce washout. If your property has clay-rich soil, a thicker base of 1 1/2-inch stone or larger is a good idea. Frost heave is rare, so you do not need to order a deeper base for that reason.
South Carolina does have seasonal load restrictions on some roads during wet periods, but they vary by county and are not a statewide constraint. We coordinate with our hauler network to work around active restrictions. Your delivery date and access confirmation account for any limits that apply to your route.
We offer six sizes: Driveway Gravel (blended), 3/8-inch, 3/4-inch, 1-inch to 1 1/2-inch, 1 1/2-inch, and 2-inch to 3-inch stone. Each serves a different layer or traffic level. You can see all of them in the product table above.
