Frequently Asked Questions About Walkway Gravel in Willow

Is Willow wet enough that drainage should drive the choice?

Yes. Soils mapped in the Willow area are commonly very poorly drained, so a base layer of crushed stone under the walkway gravel is often necessary. This helps water move away from the surface and keeps the path from becoming muddy.

Does the ground in Willow freeze hard enough to change when I should order?

The ground around Willow is in hydrologic group B, which takes water in at a moderate rate. That means it does not become overly saturated before freezing, so standard base depths work through freeze-thaw cycles. Plan your order for dry ground conditions.

How is walkway gravel measured and sold?

Walkway gravel is sold by the ton and delivered by dump truck. Use the Gravel Monkey material calculators to estimate the tonnage you need based on the area and depth of the project.

Do you deliver to a job site with no one on it?

No. You or someone you nominate must be at the site during the delivery window. The driver will not leave a load unattended. If no one is present, a missed delivery or redelivery fee may apply.
