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





Newburgh gets about 48 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage and washout planning matter for any walkway surface. The right walkway gravel reduces mud tracking and keeps the path stable through wet weather.
Gravel Monkey stocks five sizes of walkway gravel, each matched to a different kind of project. The choice controls how the surface feels underfoot, how well it stays in place, and how much base preparation is needed.
The most-ordered walkway gravel is the 3/4" size, but the right choice depends on the project. The table below lists every available size, what it is for, and a note on how it performs.
| Product | Best use | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Walkway Gravel | General path and walkway surfacing | A blended material that compacts well for a firm walking surface. |
| 3/8" Walkway Gravel | Small, even, easy to walk on | Ideal for play areas and paths where bare feet or pet paws are common. |
| 3/4" Walkway Gravel | Wider garden paths that see wheelbarrows | Stable under light loads and drains well without washing out. |
| 1"-1 1/2" Walkway Gravel | Informal paths and side yards | Larger stone resists weed growth and stays put with less edging. |
| 2"-3" Walkway Gravel | Decorative edging and dry creek borders | Oversize aggregate used as a visual accent, not a walking surface. |
The table below matches five typical projects to the product and a recommended depth or installation note. Depths assume a firm, compacted base.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Play area surfacing | 3/8" Walkway Gravel | 3 to 4 inches deep for cushion and drainage |
| Garden path | 3/4" Walkway Gravel | 2 to 3 inches deep, compacted with a plate tamper |
| Patio base | Walkway Gravel | 4 to 6 inches deep, well compacted before pavers |
| Dry creek edge | 2"-3" Walkway Gravel | Single layer of large stones for visual definition |
| Side-yard walkway | 1"-1 1/2" Walkway Gravel | 2 to 3 inches deep, edged to keep gravel contained |
Soils mapped in the Newburgh area are commonly well drained. That generally means less base stone is needed under the surface layer compared to heavy clay soils. The ground around Newburgh is in hydrologic group B, which means it takes water in at a moderate rate. Standard base depth is usually enough for walkways.
About 77 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain. That creates a narrow window for placing material onto firm, dry ground. Plan deliveries for a dry stretch, and consider laying a geotextile separator to keep the gravel from mixing with wet soil.
Freeze and thaw cycles work on loose material all winter, which is the argument for the deeper first lift. Newburgh sees about 90 freezing days a year, so a 4-inch compacted base under the surface gravel helps prevent frost heave from ruining the path alignment.
Walkway gravel is sold by the ton. To estimate the tonnage for your path, measure the length and width, decide on the depth, and use our material calculators to convert the volume to weight. The calculator also accounts for compaction, so you order the right amount on the first try.

Newburgh has about 77 days a year with at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Plan your delivery for a dry stretch if possible, or make sure the ground is firm enough to support the truck and spread the gravel.
Yes. Newburgh sees about 90 freezing days per year, and the frost heave can shift a shallow walkway. Ordering a deeper base lift and placing it before the ground freezes solid gives the surface a stable bed through winter.
Landscape fabric is not required, but it helps separate the gravel from the soil and slows weed growth. In the Newburgh area, where soils drain well, fabric can keep the gravel layer clean and reduce long-term maintenance.
Edging is the most reliable solution. Use metal, plastic, or stone edging staked along the path outline. The larger stone sizes, like the 1"-1 1/2" and 2"-3" walkway gravel, spread less on their own, but edging keeps any size contained.
