| Product | Use | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Walkway Gravel | General path and walkway surfacing | A versatile choice for most straight runs. |
| 3/8" Walkway Gravel | Small, even, easy to walk on | Good for pathways that get barefoot traffic. |
| 3/4" Walkway Gravel | Wider garden paths that see wheelbarrows | Stable enough for light garden equipment. |
| 1"-1 1/2" Walkway Gravel | Informal paths and side yards | Larger stones resist kicking in low-traffic zones. |
| 2"-3" Walkway Gravel | Decorative edging and dry creek borders | Adds visual weight without shifting easily. |
Use this table to match the gravel size to the job. Depths listed are starting points; adjust for subgrade conditions.

Across the cities we deliver to in Iowa, annual precipitation runs from about 32 to 39 inches. That means a compacted stone layer drains well, but you want a geotextile fabric under the base to keep fines from migrating upward.
Iowa sees about 130 to 160 days a year below 32F, depending on where in the state. Most of the state sits in the severe band for ground freezing. Thaw softens the ground for a stretch each spring, which is when a thin layer shifts underfoot. A deeper base 6 inches or more in frost-susceptible soil prevents heaving.
The most common hydrologic soil groups across served cities are C and C/D. That means moderate to slow infiltration, so a thicker gravel base provides extra drainage. For walkway gravel, plan on at least 4 inches of base material in those zones.

To estimate your tonnage, square the path length and width in feet, multiply by the depth in inches, and divide by 12. Then use our material calculators to convert cubic feet to tons for the specific gravel size you plan to order.
One ton of 3/8 or 3/4 walkway gravel covers roughly 80 to 100 square feet at a 2-inch depth. For larger stones the coverage shrinks because of void space.
