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





The delivered price of walkway gravel depends mostly on how deep you go. Perryville gets about 53 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage is part of every path design. A deeper base costs more material but saves repairs later.
Gravel Monkey delivers by the ton straight to your address. You pick the size and the delivery day; we handle the truck, the drop, and the pricing.
Not every walkway gravel works for every purpose. The smallest size is not ideal under wheelbarrows or heavy foot traffic, and the largest is not meant for a flat, even walking surface. The table below shows what each product handles best.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Walkway Gravel | General path and walkway surfacing | A blended size that compacts fairly well for all-purpose use. |
| 3/8" Walkway Gravel | Small, even, easy to walk on | Best under bare feet or light pedestrian traffic only. |
| 3/4" Walkway Gravel | Wider garden paths that see wheelbarrows | Stays put better than the finer grade under loads. |
| 1"-1 1/2" Walkway Gravel | Informal paths and side yards | Loose enough to drain quickly, rough underfoot. |
| 2"-3" Walkway Gravel | Decorative edging and dry creek borders | Too large for a walking surface; use for visual contrast. |
Matching the gravel size to the project prevents washout and loose stones. The table below lists typical Perryville uses and the product to order.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Dry creek edge | 2"-3" Walkway Gravel | 2 to 3 inches deep, no base needed |
| Patio base | 3/4" Walkway Gravel | 4 inches compacted, then sand |
| Garden path | 3/8" Walkway Gravel | 2 inches over landscape fabric |
| Side-yard walkway | 1"-1 1/2" Walkway Gravel | 3 inches, edged with stone |
| Play area surfacing | 3/8" Walkway Gravel | 4 inches minimum for cushion |
Perryville's 53 inches of rain each year means that water moving through the gravel is the main concern. The ground around Perryville is in a soil group that takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface. That makes a deeper drainage layer under the path worth the extra material. With about 72 wet days annually, you want to schedule the delivery onto firm ground rather than mud.
The area sees about 69 freezing days per year, which means the ground moves as it freezes and thaws. Snowfall is modest at roughly 2 inches, but plowing that snow can scatter a loose surface if the stones are small. Frost penetration is real but moderate here, so the base layer should be thick enough to stay stable through the winter. Freeze and thaw cycles work on loose material all winter, which is the argument for the deeper first lift.
How much gravel you need depends on the area and the depth. A typical walkway 3 feet wide and 30 feet long takes about 1 ton of 2-inch-deep gravel. Use our material calculators to enter your dimensions and get the tonnage before you order.
Order online by the ton. Delivery is priced by ZIP at checkout, and a dump truck brings the load to your address. Loads range from 1 to over 40 tons, and free delivery applies on qualifying orders. Use code FIRSTTIMER50 to get $50 off your first order.
The delivery date must be at least 3 business days after you order. You choose a window at checkout: morning (7 am to 12 pm) or afternoon (12 pm to 5 pm). A valid phone number is required to confirm the delivery. You get an email confirmation when you order, then a second email closer to the date showing the scheduled window and a photo of the material being loaded. The delivery only goes ahead once you approve that second email.
Someone must be at the property during the window. The site needs a road width of at least 12 feet for the truck. If access is tight, the crew unloads as close to your requested spot as they safely can. For details about our process, see About Gravel Monkey, read Customer reviews, or check Delivery information.
These materials work well with walkway gravel, either under it or beside it.
The smallest load is 1 ton. Because Perryville has about 72 wet days a year, it pays to schedule delivery when the ground is firm enough for the truck to reach the drop spot without rutting.
Spring or early fall is usually best. Perryville sees roughly 69 freezing days a year, and installing gravel on frozen ground can lead to uneven settlement. Ordering before the first freeze gives the gravel time to lock in place.
Use a rigid edging material such as concrete pavers, steel landscape edging, or pressure-treated timber along both sides. The edging should sit at least as high as the gravel depth to keep stones from migrating onto the lawn.
The main difference is stone diameter, which affects comfort underfoot, drainage speed, and load capacity. Smaller sizes like 3/8 inch pack down for a smooth surface, while larger sizes like 2 to 3 inches stay loose and open for decorative use.
