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





Crestline sits in San Bernardino County, a setting where many homes have long driveways, garden paths, and areas that need stable, walkable surfacing. The county permitted about 3,617 single-family homes in 2024, so new and existing properties alike have outdoor spaces that call for a material that looks natural and handles foot traffic well. About 22 inches of precipitation falls here each year, which means drainage and washout planning matter when you pick a surface stone.
Walkway gravel is a mix of crushed rock particles that lock together under compaction, creating a firm but permeable path. It works for straight walks, winding garden routes, and even play areas where you want a softer fall surface than concrete. Because Gravel Monkey delivers by the ton, you order only what your project needs and the truck brings it to your address.
The right walkway gravel size depends on the use: finer grades feel smooth underfoot, while larger stones suit decorative edges or informal side yards. Every product below is delivered loose by dump truck.
| Product | Best use | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Walkway Gravel | General path and walkway surfacing | All-purpose blend, easy to compact into a firm surface. |
| 3/8" Walkway Gravel | Small, even, easy to walk on | Tightly graded; ideal for barefoot-friendly paths. |
| 3/4" Walkway Gravel | Wider garden paths that see wheelbarrows | Coarser texture resists rutting under light wheels. |
| 1"-1 1/2" Walkway Gravel | Informal paths and side yards | Open structure drains fast; good for low-traffic routes. |
| 2"-3" Walkway Gravel | Decorative edging and dry creek borders | Large stone stays in place without edging. |
Each project asks for a different stone size and depth. The table below shows what product and base depth work for common needs around Crestline homes.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Patio base | 3/4" Walkway Gravel | 4 to 6 inches, compacted in lifts |
| Side-yard walkway | 3/8" Walkway Gravel | 2 to 3 inches over compacted base |
| Play area surfacing | Walkway Gravel | 4 to 5 inches, softer than concrete |
| Garden path | 1"-1 1/2" Walkway Gravel | 3 inches; allows drainage through joints |
| Dry creek edge | 2"-3" Walkway Gravel | 6 to 8 inches for visual weight |
About 32 days a year drop below 32F in Crestline. That freeze-thaw cycle pushes an unsettled gravel base out of shape, creating ruts and uneven surfaces. Winters here are cold enough to move an unsettled base, so compaction is worth the extra pass. A well-compacted layer of base stone beneath the surface gravel gives the frost less room to shift the ground.
The area gets about 24 wet days a year, with at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Scheduling the delivery onto firm ground helps the truck get close to the drop point and keeps the gravel from sinking into mud. Soils mapped in the Crestline area are commonly somewhat excessively drained. That means you may need a little more base stone under the surface layer to give the path a stable foundation.
Ground around Crestline soaks water up quickly and produces little runoff, so less drainage stone is needed under the surface. That fast absorption keeps the walkway from puddling, but you still want a firm base to prevent settling over time.
Coverage depends on the depth you choose and the square footage of the path or area. Gravel is sold by the ton, and a cubic yard of walkway gravel weighs roughly 1.4 tons. Use Gravel Monkey's material calculators to estimate the tonnage for your specific dimensions and depth.
Ordering walkway gravel in Crestline is straightforward. You choose the product and quantity online, pick a delivery window at checkout (morning 7 am to 12 pm or afternoon 12 pm to 5 pm), and the delivery date must be at least 3 business days after the order date. The truck comes to your address, prices delivery by ZIP at checkout, and loads range from 1 to 40+ tons. Free delivery applies on qualifying orders, and first-time customers can use code FIRSTTIMER50 for $50 off.
You receive an email confirmation when the order is placed, then a second email closer to the date with the scheduled window and a photo of the material being loaded. Delivery only goes ahead once you approve that second email. Someone must be at the site during the window to accept the load. For more about how it works, see About Gravel Monkey, Delivery Information, and Customer reviews.
Walkway gravel works well alone, but combining it with other materials can solve drainage or stability issues. Below are materials commonly ordered together.
Plan for about 24 days a year that bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Schedule your delivery during dry stretches so the ground is firm enough for the truck and the gravel stays clean during placement.
About 32 days a year drop below 32F, which can freeze the ground and make access slippery. The delivery window you choose at checkout accounts for weather, but expect potential delays if roads are icy. Gravel Monkey keeps you updated on any major delay.
Depth depends on the use. For foot traffic, 2 to 3 inches of surface gravel over a compacted base is common. For patios or areas that see wheelbarrows, go 4 to 6 inches. The calculator linked above can help you convert depth into tonnage.
The site needs a road width of at least 12 feet for the truck. If access is restricted, the crew unloads as close to the requested spot as they safely can. You are responsible for confirming the property can take a heavy truck.
