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






Driveway gravel is the surface you drive on every day, and it needs to hold up under traffic and weather. In Virginia, annual precipitation across the cities we deliver to runs from about 42 to 50 inches, and freeze-thaw cycles can loosen the top layer over winter. Choosing the right size and depth from the start saves you from ruts and regrading.
Gravel Monkey delivers driveway gravel by the ton to addresses anywhere in Virginia. You order online, pick your delivery window at checkout, and a dump truck brings the material to your property. No yard visits, no pickup required.
Each driveway gravel product suits a different load, base condition, or surface finish. The table below lists what you can order.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Driveway Gravel | General driveway top layer | Good all-rounder for most residential drives. |
| 3/8" Driveway Gravel | Smooth top dressing, comfortable underfoot | Works well for walkways and parking pads where you want a clean look. |
| 3/4" Driveway Gravel | The standard driveway size, locks together well | Compacts firmly, resists shifting under car tires. |
| 1"-1 1/2" Driveway Gravel | Heavier traffic and soft ground | Larger stone spreads load and improves drainage. |
| 1 1/2" Driveway Gravel | Deep base layer under a finer top | Use as a sub-base before adding a smaller surface stone. |
| 2"-3" Driveway Gravel | Rural lanes, mud control, first lift | Heavy-duty stone for muddy spots or a new drive foundation. |
Below are common driveway projects and the product combinations that work best for each.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Parking pad | 3/4" Driveway Gravel | 4 to 6 inches compacted for vehicle weight. |
| Resurfacing an existing driveway | Driveway Gravel | 2 to 3 inches over existing stone or asphalt. |
| New driveway base | 2"-3" Driveway Gravel | Start with 6 to 8 inches, then cap with a finer layer. |
| Muddy rural lane | 1"-1 1/2" Driveway Gravel | Larger stone sheds water and firms up soft soil. |
| Culvert and shoulder repair | 1 1/2" Driveway Gravel | Durable base that resists washout. |
Across the cities we serve in Virginia, annual precipitation runs from about 42 to 50 inches. Freezing days range from about 64 to 121 days a year below 32°F, depending on location. Most of the state sits in the moderate band for ground freezing. The most common soil hydrologic groups are B and C, meaning the ground drains moderately to slowly. That affects how deep you need to build your base: slower drainage calls for a thicker stone layer to keep water from pooling under the surface.
Freeze and thaw cycles work on loose material all winter, which is the argument for the deeper first lift. A thick base layer of 2"-3" driveway gravel helps prevent frost heave and keeps your drive stable through spring.
Gravel Monkey delivers to addresses across Virginia, not only the cities listed here. The following cities have their own page with local details, but you can order driveway gravel from any address in the state.
Tonnage depends on the area you are covering and the depth you want. A standard driveway resurfacing usually takes less stone than a new base or a muddy lane repair. Use our driveway gravel calculator to get a rough estimate based on your dimensions and chosen depth. The calculator gives you a starting point; from there you can adjust the quantity when you place your order.
Ordering driveway gravel from Gravel Monkey works in a few steps. You pick the product and tonnage online, and the price is calculated by ZIP at checkout.

Gravel Monkey delivers to addresses across Virginia, not only the cities listed on this page. Annual precipitation across the cities we deliver to runs from about 42 to 50 inches, and we handle delivery to any address where a dump truck can safely access the property. There is no need to pick up from a yard.
The delivery date you choose at checkout must be at least 3 business days after the order date. Freeze and thaw cycles work on loose material all winter, which is the argument for the deeper first lift; scheduling your delivery early in the season gives the stone time to settle before the ground freezes.
We deliver to locations across the state. The cities featured on this page include Front Royal, Newport News, Covington, Emporia, Hampton, Virginia Beach, Harrisonburg, Chesterfield, Floyd, Fredericksburg, Suffolk, and Glen Allen. You can order from any of these cities or from any other Virginia address.
Pricing is based on the product you choose, the tonnage, and your delivery ZIP code. You see the total at checkout before you pay. No hidden fees. Use the FIRSTTIMER50 code for $50 off a first order.
