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






Driveway gravel is sold by the ton at Gravel Monkey. You order online, choose a delivery window at checkout, and a dump truck brings the load to your address anywhere in Vermont. The price is calculated by ZIP to keep it fair for every location.
This page covers the grades we carry and what they are used for, how Vermont's climate affects your base, and how to estimate the amount you need. No yard visits, no quoting calls, just a delivered price for your address.
The grade you choose depends on the traffic, the subgrade, and whether this is a new surface or a renovation. Each product in the table below has a specific job. Match the project to the stone size for the best result.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Driveway Gravel | General driveway top layer | All-purpose blend for most Vermont driveways |
| 3/8" Driveway Gravel | Smooth top dressing, comfortable underfoot | Works well for walkways and the last inch of a driveway |
| 3/4" Driveway Gravel | The standard driveway size, locks together well | Good compaction for daily car traffic |
| 1"-1 1/2" Driveway Gravel | Heavier traffic and soft ground | Packs down to resist rutting from trucks or equipment |
| 1 1/2" Driveway Gravel | Deep base layer under a finer top | For new drives that need a solid foundation first |
| 2"-3" Driveway Gravel | Rural lanes, mud control, first lift | Coarse stone to stabilize wet or soft areas |
The table below matches typical projects to the right product and depth. Use it as a starting point before you estimate the total tonnage with the calculator.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Culvert and shoulder repair | 2"-3" Driveway Gravel | 6 to 8 inches for drainage and strength |
| New driveway base | 1 1/2" Driveway Gravel | 4 to 6 inches compacted in lifts |
| Parking pad | 3/4" Driveway Gravel | 4 inches on a well-drained subgrade |
| Muddy rural lane | 2"-3" Driveway Gravel | First lift of 6 to 8 inches then top with finer stone |
| Resurfacing an existing driveway | 3/8" Driveway Gravel | 2 to 3 inches over compacted base |
Annual precipitation across the Vermont cities we deliver to ranges from 38 to 49 inches. That rain, plus snowmelt, moves through the soil and can weaken a driveway if the base is not thick enough. The number of freezing days runs from about 154 to 177 days a year below 32F, which puts most of the state in the severe band for ground freezing. Ground that freezes deep moves as it thaws, which is why the base layer matters more here than the top layer.
The most common soil hydrologic groups across the served cities are A and D. Group A drains fast, so a standard base thickness works. Group D holds water, which means the base layer should be deeper and the stone larger to resist washout. The VTrans spring load-restriction program can delay heavy truck deliveries on certain roads during the thaw period. Check the current restrictions when planning your delivery date.

Yes. VTrans runs a spring load-restriction program that can limit heavy truck deliveries on certain roads during the thaw period. When you schedule a delivery, we check the current restrictions and let you know if any apply to your route.
Vermont's severe frost band means ground freezing down several feet. Soil groups A and D are the most common across the cities we serve. Group D holds moisture, so a thicker base of larger stone is advisable for that type of ground.
