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






When a gravel driveway washes out or gets rutted, the fix usually happens in the drier months. In Texas, the right time depends on your part of the state. Freeze and thaw cycles in the north can soften a shallow base.
Gravel Monkey delivers driveway gravel across Texas by the ton. You choose the size and we bring the load to your address.
The standard Driveway Gravel is the most-ordered choice for Texas driveways. It compacts well and handles daily traffic. For a smoother surface or a deeper base, other sizes may suit your project better. Each product is available by the ton and delivered to your address.

Texas covers a wide climate range. Annual rainfall across the cities we deliver to runs from about 19 to 52 inches. The east gets enough rain to need good drainage, while the west is dry.
Freezing days range from about 5 to 67 days a year below 32F. Most of the state sits in the moderate band for ground freezing. Freeze and thaw cycles work on loose material all winter, which is the argument for the deeper first lift. Soil in many served areas falls into hydrologic groups D and C, which drain slowly and call for a thicker gravel base.
We deliver driveway gravel to many Texas cities. See a sample of locations below.

Freezing days range from about 5 to 67 days a year across Texas. During spring thaw, some counties post road restrictions that can limit heavy truck movement. Gravel Monkey schedules deliveries to avoid these when possible.
Annual rainfall across the cities we deliver to runs from about 19 to 52 inches. In wetter areas, a thicker gravel base with larger stone helps drainage. In the drier west, a standard 3/4 inch top may be enough. Also, hydrologic soil groups D and C, common in many Texas areas, call for a deeper gravel layer.
