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






Driveway gravel in Mondovi comes in six sizes, from a smooth 3/8 inch dressing to a heavy 2 to 3 inch rock. The right choice depends on the traffic, the ground conditions, and how the driveway will be used. A fine surface is comfortable underfoot, while a coarse rock holds a rural lane through mud. The size also affects how well the gravel packs and how often it needs maintenance.
In Mondovi, the ground freezes deep and long, so the base layer under any driveway gravel needs to handle the freeze-thaw cycle without heaving or rutting.
The most ordered product for general driveway use is the standard Driveway Gravel. It works as both a base and a surface for most car traffic. For specific needs, consider one of the alternatives. The table below lists each product with its best use and a note on what makes it different.
| Product | Use | Note |
| Driveway Gravel | General driveway top layer | A good all-purpose choice for both base and finish layer in one application. |
| 3/8" Driveway Gravel | Smooth top dressing, comfortable underfoot | A smooth top dressing that is comfortable underfoot and pleasant for walking. |
| 3/4" Driveway Gravel | The standard driveway size, locks together well | The standard driveway size that locks together well and stays in place on slopes. |
| 1"-1 1/2" Driveway Gravel | Heavier traffic and soft ground | Larger stone for heavier traffic and soft ground conditions that need extra stability. |
| 1 1/2" Driveway Gravel | Deep base layer under a finer top | Deep base layer used under a finer surface gravel to provide a solid foundation. |
| 2"-3" Driveway Gravel | Rural lanes, mud control, first lift | Coarse rock for rural lanes and mud control; often the first lift in a new driveway. |
The table below matches common projects to the driveway gravel size that works best for each. All depths depend on the ground conditions and should be confirmed using the calculator. Use it as a starting point when planning your order. These recommendations are based on typical uses; your site may need adjustments.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
| Parking pad | 3/4" Driveway Gravel | Compacts to a smooth surface; suitable for light vehicle parking. |
| New driveway base | 1 1/2" Driveway Gravel | Provides a stable foundation; depth varies with ground conditions. |
| Resurfacing an existing driveway | 3/4" Driveway Gravel | Top layer that locks together; good for refreshing an existing surface. |
| Culvert and shoulder repair | 1"-1 1/2" Driveway Gravel | Larger stone resists washout around culverts and edges. |

Mondovi gets about 35 inches of precipitation a year. Spring thaw is the wet part of the year for driveways, and it is when a thin base shows up as ruts. About 70 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain, so scheduling the delivery onto firm ground matters. The 53 inches of snowfall each year can cause plowing damage to a loose surface, so a well-compacted top layer is important.
About 159 days a year drop below 32F, which shortens the work window and makes the ground shift. Soils mapped in the Mondovi area are commonly moderately well drained, so the base stone depth should be adjusted based on the specific site. Ground around Mondovi is in hydrologic group B, which takes water in at a moderate rate, meaning a standard base depth is usually enough.
Buffalo County permitted about 49 single-family homes in 2024, so new driveways and gravel deliveries are common in the area. These homes often need a complete driveway from base to surface.
The amount of driveway gravel you need depends on the area you want to cover and the depth you choose. Use the driveway gravel calculator to get an estimate based on your specific measurements. It factors in the shape and size of your driveway to give you a tonnage figure. We deliver loads from one ton to over 40 tons, so you can order exactly what you need. The calculator is available online and works for any size project. For a rough idea, a typical two-car driveway takes several tons, but the calculator gives you a precise number. Always confirm your measurements before ordering.

Yes. Mondovi gets about 35 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage and washout planning are needed. Proper base depth and a compacted surface help prevent erosion and rutting.
Yes. About 159 days a year drop below 32F, so the ground moves more. A deeper base layer of larger gravel, such as 1 1/2 inch or 2 to 3 inch stone, handles freeze-thaw better.
Driveway gravel is not suitable for projects that need a hard, flat surface like concrete or asphalt. It is also not the right choice for decorative ground cover that needs to stay clean or for walkways where fine gravel might be tracked indoors.
