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





Walkway gravel is crushed stone made to stay in place on a path. It packs down firm and sheds water. Taylorville gets about 40 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage and washout planning matter when you choose your base.
Whether you are building a garden path or a side-yard walkway, the right size makes the difference. Gravel Monkey delivers bulk walkway gravel by the ton to your driveway in Taylorville.
Each size suits a different kind of path or border. The table below shows what each product is for and what to watch for.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Walkway Gravel | General path and walkway surfacing | All-purpose, compacts well underfoot |
| 3/8" Walkway Gravel | Small, even, easy to walk on | Good for barefoot paths or between pavers |
| 3/4" Walkway Gravel | Wider garden paths that see wheelbarrows | Stays put under foot traffic and light loads |
| 1"-1 1/2" Walkway Gravel | Informal paths and side yards | Larger stones with gaps for a natural look |
| 2"-3" Walkway Gravel | Decorative edging and dry creek borders | Too large for walking, best as visual border |
The job determines the size. Pick the material that matches how the path will be used.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Garden path | 3/8" Walkway Gravel | 2 to 3 inches deep, compacted |
| Dry creek edge | 2"-3" Walkway Gravel | Single layer for visual contrast |
| Patio base | 3/4" Walkway Gravel | 4 to 6 inches deep, compacted |
| Side-yard walkway | 1"-1 1/2" Walkway Gravel | 3 inches deep, allows drainage |
| Play area surfacing | 3/8" Walkway Gravel | 4 inches deep, topped with sand |
Taylorville gets about 71 days a year with at least a tenth of an inch of rain. That means scheduling the delivery onto firm ground matters. Wet soil can rut under a dump truck. Soils mapped in the Taylorville area are commonly somewhat poorly drained, so more base stone under the surface layer helps keep the path from shifting.
The ground around Taylorville is in dual hydrologic group C/D. Where it is drained it takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface; where it is not, it takes water in very slowly, so most rain runs across the surface. This means drainage and a deeper base matter more here than elsewhere.
About 114 days a year drop below 32F, and ground freezing here is deep and long. Ground that freezes deep moves as it thaws, which is why the base layer matters more here than the top layer. Snowfall runs about 14 inches a year, and plowing can disturb a loose surface. A well-compacted base with enough depth reduces frost heave and winter damage.
Tonnage depends on the area and depth. A common garden path that is 3 feet wide and 30 feet long with a 2-inch layer takes about half a ton. Use our material calculators to get an estimate based on your dimensions. Loads run from one ton to 40 or more.
