Description
Driveway Gravel is a gray crushed gravel in the 3/4 to 1 inch size range. Its angular pieces bite into each other, so the surface stays firm when cars drive over it.
Where it works
- New gravel driveways and extensions
- Resurfacing a thin, worn drive
- Parking pads beside the garage
- Farm and cabin access lanes
For a long-lasting drive
Put a base layer of denser stone underneath for soft ground, then finish with four inches of this gravel, compacted. Crown the center and keep ditches clear so water leaves rather than washing out the surface.
Drives that see regular traffic need a base underneath, so plan the depth for the weight your vehicles carry. A fresh top layer every few years keeps ruts from forming. Sharp edges on the stone give it traction, even when the surface is wet.
Driveway Gravel is sold per ton. The minimum order is 2 tons, and your total delivered price appears after you enter a ZIP code.

Put down 8 tons over compacted base for an RV pad. The gray stone looks clean, stays put under the weight of the rig and drains well after rain. First time ordering gravel online and it could not have been simpler. Driver called before arrival and backed in without any trouble.

Six tons for a parking pad next to the garage. The gravel is a good size, not too big for tires and not so small that it scatters. It did arrive as one tall pile, so we spent a Saturday with rakes and a wheelbarrow getting it level. Small quibble. Delivery window was accurate and the driver was careful around my mailbox.

We bought 20 tons of driveway gravel for a farm lane out to the back pasture. Two loads, both drivers called ahead and dropped where we had flagged. Stone is a consistent 3/4 to 1 inch, spread smooth behind the tractor and packed in with a few passes. Tractor and truck tires have not chewed it up at all.

Our 200 foot driveway needed a refresh after ten years, so we ordered 12 tons of driveway gravel. The 3/4 to 1 inch gray stone spread nicely with the box blade and settled in after a week of traffic. No more potholes, and it looks sharp against the lawn. Driver spread it in a line down the drive as he dumped, which saved me hours of raking.
