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





Ordering walkway gravel in Delaware starts with picking a size and marking where you want the pile. Gravel Monkey delivers by dump truck to addresses across the state, one dump per load. You choose the drop spot, and the driver places the material where you direct, as long as the truck can reach it safely.
The order is placed by the ton, and the price is calculated from your ZIP code at checkout. Loads range from 1 ton up to 40 tons or more, depending on what your project needs. No yard to visit, no pickup required.
Walkway gravel splits into two categories: base material that locks together underfoot and finish material that stays loose and even. The size you choose depends on whether the path needs to carry heavy traffic or just look good at the edge of a garden. Below are the options we deliver across Delaware.
| Product | Best Use | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Walkway Gravel | General path and walkway surfacing | Versatile blend for most residential paths. |
| 3/8" Walkway Gravel | Small, even, easy to walk on | Good for tight paths where a smooth surface matters. |
| 3/4" Walkway Gravel | Wider garden paths that see wheelbarrows | Stable under load, resists shifting from cart wheels. |
| 1"-1 1/2" Walkway Gravel | Informal paths and side yards | Loose feel, drains quickly, low maintenance. |
| 2"-3" Walkway Gravel | Decorative edging and dry creek borders | Large pieces, stays put, needs no binding layer. |
The table below matches common outdoor projects with the right walkway gravel size. A deeper base suits soft ground, while a thinner layer works over compacted soil. Think of the depth as the budget option versus the long-term option: deeper lasts longer but costs more upfront.
| Project | What to Order | Depth or Note |
|---|---|---|
| Garden path | 3/8" Walkway Gravel | 2 to 3 inches over landscape fabric for weed control. |
| Dry creek edge | 2"-3" Walkway Gravel | One layer, no base needed; the large stones stay in place. |
| Play area surfacing | 3/4" Walkway Gravel | 4 inches minimum for impact absorption and drainage. |
| Side-yard walkway | Walkway Gravel (mixed sizes) | 3 inches over compacted base for a firm surface. |
| Patio base | 3/4" Walkway Gravel | 4 to 6 inches, compacted, topped with sand or pavers. |
Across the cities we deliver to in Delaware, annual precipitation runs from about 47 to 48 inches. That moisture means base material matters: a well-compacted layer of 3/4" gravel sheds water and resists washout better than a loose mix. The number of days below freezing ranges from about 79 to 96 a year, depending on where in the state you are. Winters here are cold enough to move an unsettled base, so compaction is worth the extra pass.
Most of the state sits in the moderate band for ground freezing. Frost heave can shift a shallow, uncompacted path, especially in soil groups A and B that are common across our served cities. Those soils drain quickly, so they need a deeper base than heavy clay to stay stable when wet and frozen.

Tonnage depends on the area you are covering and the depth you choose. A 1-ton load of 3/4" walkway gravel covers roughly 80 to 100 square feet at 2 inches deep, but the exact number varies by stone size and compaction. Use our material calculators to estimate the tonnage for your project before you order. Enter your square footage and target depth, and the calculator gives you a weight in tons.
