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





Walkway gravel is sold by the ton and delivered to your address in a dump truck. You decide how much to order by measuring your path and calculating the cubic footage of gravel at the depth you need.
Soils mapped in the Oakhurst area are commonly well drained. That often means you can use a thinner base layer under the surface gravel than you would in areas with heavy clay soils.
Walkway gravel comes in several sizes, each suited to a different kind of path or use. The right choice depends on traffic, how formal the path looks, and whether you need to move a wheelbarrow over it.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Walkway Gravel | general path and walkway surfacing | A well graded blend that compacts firmly for a stable walking surface in most conditions. |
| 3/8" Walkway Gravel | small, even, easy to walk on | Feels smooth underfoot and works well for barefoot paths or play areas where small stone is needed. |
| 3/4" Walkway Gravel | wider garden paths that see wheelbarrows | Stays in place better under heavy traffic than smaller stone and resists spreading. |
| 1"-1 1/2" Walkway Gravel | informal paths and side yards | Loose enough for a casual look but stable once compacted for side paths and utility zones. |
| 2"-3" Walkway Gravel | decorative edging and dry creek borders | Large stone that stays put without edging restraints for decorative borders and dry creek beds. |
Different projects need different gravel sizes and depths. The table below matches common Oakhurst jobs to the right product and installation depth.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Play area surfacing | 3/8" Walkway Gravel | 3 to 4 inches for cushion and drainage |
| Garden path | 3/4" Walkway Gravel | 2 to 3 inches over a compacted base |
| Side-yard walkway | 1"-1 1/2" Walkway Gravel | 3 inches for a stable, low-maintenance surface |
| Patio base | Walkway Gravel | 4 to 6 inches, well compacted in lifts |
| Dry creek edge | 2"-3" Walkway Gravel | Single layer, decorative border |
Oakhurst gets about 29 inches of precipitation a year. That much rain means drainage planning matters, especially where walkways cross low spots or slope toward a house.
About 40 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Scheduling your delivery onto firm ground avoids ruts and makes spreading easier. The ground around Oakhurst soaks water up quickly and produces little runoff, so less drainage stone is needed under the surface layer than in areas with slow draining soils.
About 88 days a year drop below 32 degrees Fahrenheit. Winters here are cold enough to move an unsettled base, so compaction is worth the extra pass. The moderate ground freezing means a compacted base layer at the right depth keeps walkways level through freeze-thaw cycles.
To figure out how many tons to order, measure the length and width of your path in feet and multiply by the depth in inches. Then use one of our material calculators to convert cubic feet to tons based on the specific gravel size you choose.

Walkway gravel works best alongside materials that handle the edges and keep the stone contained. Consider these options for the same property.
About 40 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain. You should plan your delivery for a dry stretch so the ground is firm enough to support the truck and make spreading easier.
About 88 days a year drop below freezing. Cold weather can make the ground freeze and thaw, which may shift an unprepared base. A well compacted base layer prevents uneven settling when the ground thaws.
The depth depends on the project and the traffic. A simple garden path needs 2 to 3 inches of gravel, while a patio base needs 4 to 6 inches of compacted material. The material calculators on our site help you convert depth into the right tonnage.
The delivery truck needs a road width of at least 12 feet. If access is tight, the crew unloads as close to your requested spot as they safely can. You need to confirm that your driveway and property can handle a heavy truck.
Walkway gravel is a practical surface for paths, play areas, and garden edges. Ordering by the ton and getting delivery by dump truck means you get the material you need without multiple trips or bag waste.
