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






Many homeowners pick the smallest gravel for a new driveway. That works for a top layer but not for the base. Driveway gravel is sold by the ton in Washington, and Gravel Monkey delivers it to your address.
Starting with the wrong size means you end up ordering more later. A two-layer approach saves time and money.
The key split is between base material and finish material. Base layers need angular stone that locks together under load. Top layers should be smaller and easier to walk on. The table below lists every size Gravel Monkey delivers in Washington.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Driveway Gravel | General driveway top layer | A blended mix that works well for most existing driveways. |
| 3/8" Driveway Gravel | Smooth top dressing | Comfortable underfoot and gives a clean, finished look. |
| 3/4" Driveway Gravel | The standard driveway size | Locks together well and resists rutting on level ground. |
| 1"-1 1/2" Driveway Gravel | Heavier traffic and soft ground | Handles trucks and equipment without shifting. |
| 1 1/2" Driveway Gravel | Deep base layer | Use under a finer top for long-term stability. |
| 2"-3" Driveway Gravel | Rural lanes, mud control, first lift | Ideal for soft spots and the first layer on a new site. |
Every project has a budget-friendly option and a longer-lasting option. This table gives you a starting point for each job.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Parking pad | 3/4" Driveway Gravel or 1"-1 1/2" Driveway Gravel | 4 to 6 inches of 3/4" works for cars; deeper if trucks park. |
| New driveway base | 1 1/2" Driveway Gravel (base) then 3/4" Driveway Gravel (top) | Base 6 to 8 inches, top 2 to 3 inches for durability. |
| Culvert and shoulder repair | 2"-3" Driveway Gravel or 1"-1 1/2" Driveway Gravel | Use larger stones where water flows; smaller for stable shoulders. |
| Resurfacing an existing driveway | 3/8" Driveway Gravel or 3/4" Driveway Gravel | 2 to 3 inches of 3/8" gives a smooth refresh; 3/4" adds strength. |
| Muddy rural lane | 2"-3" Driveway Gravel then 1 1/2" Driveway Gravel | First lift of 2"-3" stabilizes mud; then cap with 1 1/2". |
Spring road restrictions in Washington mean you need to plan ahead. WSDOT runs a seasonal load-restriction program that can limit heavy truck access on certain roads when the ground thaws. Your delivery date should account for this, especially in eastern or mountainous parts of the state.
Across the cities we deliver to, annual precipitation runs from about 9 to 72 inches. Western Washington gets more rain, which means your driveway base needs good drainage. Winters here are cold enough to move an unsettled base, so compaction is worth the extra pass. Freezing days range from about 30 to 157 days a year below 32F, depending on where in the state. Most of the state sits in the moderate band for ground freezing, so a well-compacted base will resist frost heave.
The most common soil groups across the served cities are hydrologic groups A and B. These are well-drained soils, so you can use a standard base depth of 6 to 8 inches without extra underlayment. In areas with heavy clay (group D), a thicker base of 1 1/2" stone is advised.

Yes. WSDOT runs a spring load-restriction program that can limit heavy truck access on certain roads during thaw months. We plan deliveries around these restrictions when they apply to your address. Your delivery date must be at least 3 business days after the order date, which gives time to check local road conditions.
Rainfall ranges from about 9 to 72 inches per year across the cities we serve. Western Washington's wetter climate calls for a deeper base and larger stone to shed water. Freezing days range from about 30 to 157 days below 32F, so compaction is key to prevent frost heave. Well-drained soils (groups A and B) let you use a standard base depth, while heavier soils need thicker stone.
