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





A walkway built with gravel takes a surprising amount of material. A typical path 3 feet wide and 30 feet long needs roughly 1 to 2 tons of stone, depending on depth. Gravel Monkey delivers walkway gravel throughout Alabama by the ton, so you order the exact amount you need and we bring it to your address.
You choose from several sizes, each suited to a different kind of path or edge. The delivered price is calculated at checkout based on your ZIP code and the tonnage you select. No yard visits, no pickup required.
The right size depends on how the path will be used. Smaller stones stay in place better; larger stones work for informal edges. Use the table to match the gravel to your project.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Walkway Gravel | General path and walkway surfacing | A versatile mix for any walking surface. |
| 3/8" Walkway Gravel | Small, even, easy to walk on | Compact and comfortable underfoot. |
| 3/4" Walkway Gravel | Wider garden paths that see wheelbarrows | Durable enough for light wheeled traffic. |
| 1"-1 1/2" Walkway Gravel | Informal paths and side yards | Larger stone for a casual look. |
| 2"-3" Walkway Gravel | Decorative edging and dry creek borders | Bold texture for borders and accents. |
Different projects need different gravel sizes. This guide matches the material to the job.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Play area surfacing | 3/4" Walkway Gravel | 3 inches for cushion |
| Dry creek edge | 2"-3" Walkway Gravel | 2 inches for visual weight |
| Side-yard walkway | 3/8" Walkway Gravel | 2 inches for a stable path |
| Patio base | 1"-1 1/2" Walkway Gravel | 4 inches for support |
| Garden path | 3/4" Walkway Gravel | 2 to 3 inches deep |
Annual precipitation across the cities we deliver to in Alabama runs from 56 to 68 inches. That much rainfall means a gravel path needs good drainage underneath. Installing a geotextile fabric and a compacted base helps keep the stone from sinking into wet soil.
About 25 to 70 days a year fall below 32F, depending on where you are in the state. Most of Alabama sits in the negligible band for ground freezing, so frost heave is rarely a concern for walkways. That makes a deeper base unnecessary in most cases.
The most common soil hydrologic groups in our served cities are B and C, which drain at a moderate rate. For a walkway, that usually means a 4- to 6-inch base of crushed stone under the gravel surface. Work can run most of the year in this climate, which makes scheduling the delivery the easy part.

To figure out the tons you need, multiply the path length by width by depth in feet and divide by about 18 (that conversion factor for walkway gravel). For a quick estimate, use our material calculators to enter your dimensions and get the tonnage in seconds.

In areas with higher rainfall, a compacted base and geotextile fabric help keep the gravel stable. The most common soil groups across our Alabama delivery cities are B and C, which drain moderately; a 4- to 6-inch base of crushed stone is usually enough.
Alabama experiences about 25 to 70 freezing days a year, which can lead to occasional road restrictions during thaw periods. Gravel Monkey's haulers monitor these conditions and will coordinate with you if a delay is likely.
