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





Walkway gravel is sold by the ton at Gravel Monkey. You order online, pick a delivery window, and a dump truck brings the load to your address in Thomson. The price for delivery is set by your ZIP code at checkout.
Thomson gets about 47 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage and washout planning matter for any loose surface. A stable base and the right stone size keep a path usable through wet weather.
Each size of walkway gravel suits a different job. The smallest stones are hard to shovel but very comfortable underfoot, while larger pieces work best where you need a decorative edge that will not scatter.
| Product | Typical use | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Walkway Gravel | General path and walkway surfacing | A versatile mix that works for most straight paths. |
| 3/8" Walkway Gravel | Small, even, easy to walk on | Best for barefoot-friendly garden paths and patios. |
| 3/4" Walkway Gravel | Wider garden paths that see wheelbarrows | Stays put under wheeled loads better than finer gravel. |
| 1"-1 1/2" Walkway Gravel | Informal paths and side yards | Drains fast and does not wash out easily in heavy rain. |
| 2"-3" Walkway Gravel | Decorative edging and dry creek borders | Too large to walk on but excellent for visual contrast. |
The surface you are covering and the traffic it gets point to the right size. A garden path needs small, compactable stone, while a dry creek edge calls for large pieces that will not move in a heavy downpour.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Garden path | 3/8" Walkway Gravel | 2 to 3 inches deep, well compacted. |
| Side-yard walkway | 3/4" Walkway Gravel | 3 to 4 inches deep to handle light utility traffic. |
| Patio base | Walkway Gravel (mixed size) | 4 to 6 inches of base stone before a finer top layer. |
| Play area surfacing | 3/8" Walkway Gravel | 4 inches deep, smooth and free of large pieces. |
| Dry creek edge | 2"-3" Walkway Gravel | Single layer, tamped lightly to settle. |
Thomson sees about 50 days a year where the temperature drops below 32F. That number of freeze-thaw cycles can lift a poorly compacted base and create dips and soft spots. The ground here does not freeze deep enough to shift a properly prepared subgrade, so the base layer only needs standard depth to stay stable.
Snowfall averages about 0 inches a year, which means plow blades are not a concern for loose gravel surfaces. What does matter is drainage. Soils mapped in the Thomson area are commonly well drained, so water moves through the ground at a moderate pace. That reduces the need for extra base stone under the surface layer, as long as the grade lets rainwater run off.
Without a hard freeze to lift the surface, drainage and washout are what decide how long the material lasts. A slight crown or a gravel barrier at the edge of the path keeps the stone where it belongs.
Tonnage depends on the area you want to cover and the depth you choose. A standard garden path that is 3 feet wide and 50 feet long, laid 2 inches deep, takes roughly one ton of walkway gravel. Use our material calculators to enter your dimensions and get a close estimate before you order.
You order online by the ton, and delivery is priced by your ZIP code at checkout. Loads run from one ton up to 40 tons or more on a single dump truck. Free delivery is available on qualifying orders. Use code FIRSTTIMER50 at checkout to take $50 off a first order.
The delivery date you choose must be at least 3 business days after the order date. You pick a window: morning from 7 am to 12 pm or afternoon from 12 pm to 5 pm. Someone must be at the site during that window to direct the driver. We send an email confirmation when the order is placed, and 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.

Walkway gravel works best when it has a stable base, and the right companion materials make the job easier.
Yes. We deliver to Thomson and anywhere in McDuffie County. Thomson sees about 68 days a year with at least a tenth of an inch of rain, so schedule the delivery onto firm ground to avoid soft conditions for the truck.
The smallest load is one ton. Ground around Thomson is in hydrologic group B, which means it takes water in at a moderate rate, so a standard base depth is usually enough to support a thin walkway without extra stone.
Yes. We deliver to rural routes and unincorporated areas around Thomson as long as the site has 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.
It depends on the use. 3/8" stone works for smooth, walkable paths. 3/4" stone handles wheelbarrows and light utility traffic. 2"-3" stone is decorative and best for edges and dry creek beds. For a general path that gets regular foot traffic, 3/8" or 3/4" is the most practical choice.
