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






The delivered cost of driveway gravel is shaped by two things: the weight you order and how far the truck has to come. Getting the right material for the job means you pay for durability, not for frequent replacements. Weston gets about 52 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage planning matters when you choose a size.
Every option below is sold by the ton and delivered to your address. You pick the product, pick a delivery day at least three business days out, and the truck shows up within the window you select.
Each size has a purpose. A loose surface on a slope calls for a different stone than a parking pad on flat ground. The table below shows what each product is for and what to watch for.
| Product | For | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Driveway Gravel | General driveway top layer | Mixed sizes that lock up under traffic; not ideal for soft ground. |
| 3/8" Driveway Gravel | Smooth top dressing, comfortable underfoot | Best on a solid base; can shift on steep grades. |
| 3/4" Driveway Gravel | The standard driveway size, locks together well | A good all-around choice for most passenger vehicles. |
| 1"-1 1/2" Driveway Gravel | Heavier traffic and soft ground | Suitable for trucks but harder to walk on. |
| 1 1/2" Driveway Gravel | Deep base layer under a finer top | Use for a first lift where frost heave is a concern. |
| 2"-3" Driveway Gravel | Rural lanes, mud control, first lift | Best for soft, wet sites where smaller stone would sink. |
Match the material to what the surface needs to handle. The table below pairs common projects with the right product.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Culvert and shoulder repair | 2"-3" Driveway Gravel | 6 to 8 inches to resist washout |
| New driveway base | 1 1/2" Driveway Gravel | 4 to 6 inches on compacted subgrade |
| Muddy rural lane | 1"-1 1/2" Driveway Gravel | 6 inches minimum to bridge soft spots |
| Resurfacing an existing driveway | 3/4" Driveway Gravel | 2 to 3 inches over compacted base |
| Parking pad | 3/8" Driveway Gravel | 3 inches, well compacted for foot traffic |
Weston records about 102 days each year with measurable rain. That means the ground is often soft during the delivery window, so scheduling a drop when the base is firm helps avoid rutting. The county's 125 freezing days a year push the ground through repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Freeze and thaw cycles work on loose material all winter, which is the argument for the deeper first lift. About 24 inches of snowfall adds to the challenge: plowing can push a shallow layer aside, so a thicker lift gives you more insurance against bare spots. The ground freezing here is real but moderate, so a base layer of 6 inches of coarse stone below a finer top keeps the surface from heaving in wet stretches.
Tonnage depends on the area, the depth you want, and whether you are topping up or starting from scratch. Use Gravel Monkey's driveway gravel calculator to get a number based on your measurements. The calculator works in cubic yards and converts to tons for the material you choose.
Buying is straightforward: order online by the ton, enter your ZIP at checkout for the delivered price, and choose a delivery window. Orders must be placed at least three business days ahead. You pick morning or afternoon, and you must be at the site or have someone there during that window. After you order, Gravel Monkey sends a confirmation email, then a second email closer to the date with the scheduled window and a photo of the load. You approve that email before the truck rolls.

Yes. With about 52 inches of precipitation per year, water is a constant factor. Coarse stone like 2"-3" gravel lets water pass through quickly, while tighter sizes may hold moisture and shift if the base is not crowned.
Yes. About 125 days a year drop below freezing, so the ground goes through many freeze-thaw cycles. A deeper lift of 1 1/2" gravel under a finer top layer resists the heaving those cycles cause.
Standard driveway gravel is not designed for steep slopes where it can wash out or for areas that see heavy truck traffic daily. Those conditions call for the larger, 1" to 3" sizes or a different material altogether.
Edge restraints such as timber, concrete curbs, or metal edging hold the gravel in place. Without them, traffic and rain will gradually push stones into the lawn or ditch.
