ShopWalkway Gravel in Yorkville
Walkway gravel is available in several sizes, from fine 3/8-inch stone to 2-to-3-inch pieces. The size you pick changes how the path feels underfoot and how often you need to add fresh stone.
Yorkville gets about 40 inches of precipitation a year. That means a walkway surface needs to drain well, so a compacted base and the right gravel size are worth planning for.

Yorkville Weather and Soil for Walkway Gravel
About 75 days a year in Yorkville bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Scheduling a walkway gravel delivery onto firm ground is a good idea to avoid rutting.
Around 134 days drop below 32F, and the ground freezes deep and long. That freeze-thaw cycle shifts the soil, which is why the base layer under walkway gravel matters more here than the top layer. Ground that freezes deep moves as it thaws, which is why the base layer matters more here than the top layer. Soils mapped in the Yorkville area are commonly well drained; area guidance suggests you may need more or less base stone under the surface depending on your exact spot. The ground around Yorkville takes water in at a moderate rate, so standard base depth is usually enough for most walkway projects.
Snowfall runs about 33 inches a year. Plowing a loose gravel surface can push the stone around, so consider a compacted edge or using larger gravel where snow removal is routine.
Figuring How Much Walkway Gravel You Need
