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





Contractors often order walkway gravel by the truckload for a straight run of paths, while homeowners tend to spend more time choosing the right size and depth for a single garden walk. Both approaches work with Gravel Monkey, because you buy by the ton and the price covers delivery to your address.
Marksville gets about 59 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage and washout planning matter when you lay a walkway. The right aggregate and base layer keep the surface firm through wet weather.
Walkway gravel comes in several sizes, each suited for a different look and function. The table below lists the options you can order by the ton, with a note on what each does best.
| Product | Best For | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Walkway Gravel | General path and walkway surfacing | Unified look for most residential paths. |
| 3/8" Walkway Gravel | Small, even, easy to walk on | Packs well and resists shifting underfoot. |
| 3/4" Walkway Gravel | Wider garden paths that see wheelbarrows | Drains faster and stays put under load. |
| 1"-1 1/2" Walkway Gravel | Informal paths and side yards | Rough texture discourages weed growth. |
| 2"-3" Walkway Gravel | Decorative edging and dry creek borders | Large stones create visual contrast. |
Different uses call for different depths and sizes. The table below matches common projects with the right walkway gravel and a typical depth.
| Project | What to Order | Depth or Note |
|---|---|---|
| Patio base | 3/4" Walkway Gravel | 4 to 6 inches of compacted base |
| Play area surfacing | 3/8" Walkway Gravel | 2 to 3 inches, even and soft |
| Garden path | 3/4" Walkway Gravel | 3 to 4 inches for good drainage |
| Dry creek edge | 2"-3" Walkway Gravel | One stone deep, decorative |
| Side-yard walkway | 1"-1 1/2" Walkway Gravel | 3 inches, rough texture |
Marksville gets about 59 inches of precipitation a year, which means drainage and washout planning. About 71 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain, so scheduling the delivery onto firm ground is important. Frost is not the constraint here, so the calendar is driven by rain and by how wet the ground is.
About 28 days a year drop below 32F, which narrows the work window and affects how much the ground moves. Ground freezing here is not a significant factor, so the base layer depth is determined more by drainage than by frost.
Soils mapped in the Marksville area are commonly somewhat poorly drained, so more base stone under the surface layer may be needed. The ground around Marksville takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface, which means a deeper drainage layer earns its place.
Use our material calculators to estimate how many tons you need based on your area and the chosen depth. The calculator handles different sizes and compactions.

Combine walkway gravel with these materials to complete your project.
About 71 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Plan your delivery for a dry spell to ensure firm ground. You choose the date at checkout, and the truck needs stable access.
About 28 days a year drop below 32F, which can freeze the ground and affect compaction. However, ground freezing is not significant here, so winter deliveries are possible as long as the ground is not saturated. Delivery windows are available year-round.
Depth depends on the use: a garden path might need 2 to 3 inches, while a patio base may need 4 to 6 inches of compacted gravel. Use our material calculators to estimate based on your area and the recommended depth for your project.
The truck needs a road width of at least 12 feet to access the site. If access is restricted, the crew unloads as close to the requested spot as they safely can.
