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





Walkway gravel comes in several sizes, from small 3/8 inch stones to larger 2 to 3 inch pieces. The size you choose changes how the surface feels, how easily weeds germinate, and how well it resists washing away in heavy rain.
Boonville gets about 51 inches of precipitation a year. That much rainfall means drainage and washout planning should be part of your decision. A well-chosen gravel size and proper base can keep your path stable through wet seasons.
The most popular product for Boonville property owners is Walkway Gravel, a general path and walkway surfacing that works for most projects. The table below lists every available size and what each one does best.
| Product | What It Is For | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Walkway Gravel | general path and walkway surfacing | Blend of sizes packs tightly for a stable surface that sheds rainwater. |
| 3/8" Walkway Gravel | small, even, easy to walk on | Uniform small stones are comfortable underfoot and spread to an even depth easily. |
| 3/4" Walkway Gravel | wider garden paths that see wheelbarrows | Larger stones resist shifting under wheelbarrow and garden cart loads. |
| 1"-1 1/2" Walkway Gravel | informal paths and side yards | Irregular shapes lock together for a natural look with good drainage. |
| 2"-3" Walkway Gravel | decorative edging and dry creek borders | Oversized stones stay put as edging or fill dry creek beds without washing away. |
The depth you spread matters as much as the size you pick. Below is a quick match of five typical Boonville projects to the best product and a recommended starting depth.
| Project | What to Order | Depth or Note |
|---|---|---|
| side-yard walkway | Walkway Gravel | 2 to 3 inches; compacts to a firm surface. |
| patio base | 3/4" Walkway Gravel | 4 to 6 inches for load bearing under pavers. |
| garden path | 3/8" Walkway Gravel | 1.5 to 2 inches for a smooth walking surface. |
| play area surfacing | Walkway Gravel | 3 to 4 inches; contain with edging for safety. |
| dry creek edge | 2"-3" Walkway Gravel | Single layer; no compaction needed. |
Boonville experiences about 90 days a year below freezing. Freeze and thaw cycles work on loose material all winter, which is the argument for the deeper first lift. A deeper base layer helps prevent frost heave from shifting your path.
Soils mapped in the Boonville area are commonly poorly drained. Under a walkway, that means water may not soak in quickly, so a thicker base stone layer under the surface gravel can improve drainage and keep the path firm. The area's dual hydrologic group C/D means where the ground is drained it takes water slowly, and where it is not, most rain runs across the surface. This makes drainage and a deeper base even more important here than in other locations.
About 11 inches of snowfall a year means plowing can disturb a loose gravel surface. Using a compacted base and larger top-size gravel can reduce the damage from snow removal equipment.

Plan for about 78 wet days a year. Scheduling the delivery onto firm ground avoids compaction issues. Check the forecast and choose a window with dry ground expected.
About 90 days a year drop below 32F. The ground freezes moderately, which can delay installation until spring. Order early in the season to avoid frozen ground.
Landscape fabric helps suppress weeds and prevents gravel from mixing with soil. It is recommended for most walkway gravel installations.
Use edging materials like plastic or metal edging, or install a border of larger stones. Containing the gravel prevents it from washing onto lawns or paths.
