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





Somerset County permitted about 102 single-family homes in 2024, a county figure that shows steady building activity. Anson sits in the heart of that county, where existing homes and new construction alike need durable walkway surfacing. Walkway gravel offers a low-maintenance surface that stands up to the local climate.
Choosing the right size and depth makes the difference between a stable path and one that shifts underfoot. Local conditions such as rainfall and frost depth influence how much base layer you need. This page covers the walkway gravel options available and how to order them for your project.
Walkway gravel comes in several sizes, each suited to a different use. The table below lists the options available in Anson through Gravel Monkey, with a note on what each one does best.
| Product | What it is for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Walkway Gravel | General path and walkway surfacing | Good for most walkways; needs a compacted base for best performance. |
| 3/8" Walkway Gravel | Small, even stones that are easy to walk on | Compacts well for fine surfaces and a smooth feel underfoot. |
| 3/4" Walkway Gravel | Wider garden paths that see wheelbarrows | Larger pieces handle wheelbarrow traffic and provide good drainage. |
| 1"-1 1/2" Walkway Gravel | Informal paths and side yards | Rough surface that stays in place well; good for low-traffic areas. |
| 2"-3" Walkway Gravel | Decorative edging and dry creek borders | Large decorative stones that resist shifting and add visual interest. |
Each project has a different demand on the gravel. Choose the right product and depth for a lasting result.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Side-yard walkway | 3/4" Walkway Gravel | 3 to 4 inches, compacted |
| Patio base | Walkway Gravel | 4 to 6 inches, compacted |
| Garden path | 3/8" Walkway Gravel | 2 to 3 inches |
| Dry creek edge | 2"-3" Walkway Gravel | Single layer (top dress) |

Anson gets about 47 inches of precipitation a year. That rate means walkways need a base that drains well to avoid washouts. A properly graded base with the right gravel size helps manage water flow.
The ground around Anson is in hydrologic group A, which means it soaks water up quickly and produces little runoff. This reduces the need for extra drainage stone under the surface layer. However, the top layer still needs to be thick enough to resist moving under foot traffic.
About 176 days a year drop below 32F. Deep frost can lift and settle the ground, shifting a thin gravel layer. Thaw softens the ground for a stretch each spring, which is when a thin layer shifts underfoot. A base layer of angular stone reduces movement during freeze-thaw cycles.
