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





Covington County homeowners use walkway gravel to create stable paths that handle frequent rain. Andalusia gets about 60 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage and washout planning are needed for any gravel surface. Gravel Monkey delivers walkway gravel by the ton to your property in loads from one ton to more than 40 tons.
Choosing the right stone size and depth makes the difference between a path that stays firm and one that shifts underfoot. Your project type and traffic level should guide the size you order.
Walkway gravel is graded by stone size. Smaller pieces pack tight underfoot; larger stones stay loose and add texture. Choose the size that fits your project from the table below.
| Product | Best use | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Walkway Gravel | General path and walkway surfacing | Well graded mix that compacts for a stable surface. |
| 3/8" Walkway Gravel | Small, even, easy to walk on | Packs tight; smooth for bare feet or light traffic. |
| 3/4" Walkway Gravel | Wider garden paths that see wheelbarrows | Larger stones hold up under heavier loads. |
| 1"-1 1/2" Walkway Gravel | Informal paths and side yards | Loose surface that drains quickly between stones. |
| 2"-3" Walkway Gravel | Decorative edging and dry creek borders | Largest size; resists washout from heavy rain. |
Every walkway project needs a different depth and stone size. Use this table to match the job to the right product.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Patio base | 3/4" Walkway Gravel | Compacts well for a firm base under pavers. |
| Garden path | 3/8" Walkway Gravel | Packs tight; easy to walk on with a neat finish. |
| Dry creek edge | 2"-3" Walkway Gravel | Larger stones stay in place against water flow. |
| Play area surfacing | Walkway Gravel | Smooth stones for a comfortable, drained surface. |
| Side-yard walkway | 1"-1 1/2" Walkway Gravel | Loose surface that sheds leaves and debris. |
Andalusia sees about 75 wet days a year with at least a tenth of an inch of rain. This means scheduling the delivery onto firm ground is important to avoid rutting. Without a hard freeze to lift the surface, drainage and washout are what decide how long the material lasts.
About 40 days a year drop below 32 degrees Fahrenheit, but ground freezing here is not a significant factor. This keeps the base layer depth from needing extra thickness for frost heave. Your budget can go toward a deeper drainage layer instead.
The soil around Andalusia takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface. A deeper drainage layer under your walkway gravel helps manage that runoff and keeps the path stable.
The tonnage you need depends on the area you want to cover and the depth you choose. Use the material calculators on Gravel Monkey's website to convert square footage to tons for any walkway gravel size.
Ordering is simple: choose your walkway gravel online, select a load size from one ton to 40-plus tons, and enter your ZIP for the delivery price. First-time customers can use code FIRSTTIMER50 for $50 off their first order. Delivery is scheduled at checkout and must be at least 3 business days after the order date.
You pick a delivery window: morning from 7 am to 12 pm or afternoon from 12 pm to 5 pm. A valid phone number is required, and you receive an email confirmation followed by a second email with the scheduled window and a photo of the material. The delivery only proceeds once you approve that second email.
You or someone you nominate must be available during the window. The site needs a road width of at least 12 feet for the truck. For more details, see the delivery information page, the about page, and customer reviews.
For the same property, you might also need these materials to complete your walkway project.
The freeze season in Andalusia is short, with about 40 days below freezing. This is not enough to cause significant ground heave, so you can use a standard base depth. Your main concern should be drainage due to the high rainfall of about 60 inches per year.
Winter here is mild with around 0 inches of snow. About 75 wet days a year mean the ground can be soft. Schedule delivery onto firm ground to avoid rutting and ensure the truck can access your site.
Order at least 3 business days before your desired delivery date. The delivery date is chosen at checkout, and you must approve a confirmation email before the load is dispatched.
The sizes range from small 3/8 inch stones to larger 2 to 3 inch stones. Smaller sizes pack tight and suit walkways with foot traffic. Larger stones stay loose and work for decorative edges or dry creek beds.
