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





Walkway gravel is a crushed stone that locks together when compacted. It handles rain better than loose pebbles or river rock, which matters in a place that gets about 34 inches of precipitation a year. The material sheds surface water and stays where it is put without constant raking.
This is the stone you want underfoot where a solid, draining path is the goal. It packs into a firm layer that does not shift or wash out during a heavy storm. For a path that stays stable through Michigan winters and wet springs, walkway gravel is the right choice over loose alternatives.
Each size of walkway gravel serves a different kind of path. The wrong size means more raking, more washout, and a surface that does not hold. Here is what each product is built for.
| Walkway Gravel | General path and walkway surfacing | A general-purpose path stone that packs firm and drains well for most residential walkways. |
| 3/8" Walkway Gravel | Small, even, easy to walk on | Small, even pieces that are comfortable to walk on in bare feet or with thin shoes. |
| 3/4" Walkway Gravel | Wider garden paths that see wheelbarrows | A wider stone that holds up under wheelbarrow traffic on garden paths. |
| 1"-1 1/2" Walkway Gravel | Informal paths and side yards | A chunkier stone for informal paths and side yards where appearance matters less. |
| 2"-3" Walkway Gravel | Decorative edging and dry creek borders | Oversized pieces used as decorative edging or to line dry creek beds. |
Match your project type to the right stone for a path that stays put. These five common jobs each need a different size.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
| Side-yard walkway | 3/4" Walkway Gravel | 2 to 3 inches deep, compacted over a base |
| Dry creek edge | 2"-3" Walkway Gravel | One stone deep, laid by hand for a natural look |
| Patio base | Walkway Gravel | 4 to 6 inches deep, compacted in lifts |
| Play area surfacing | 3/8" Walkway Gravel | 2 to 3 inches deep, compacted smooth |
| Garden path | 1"-1 1/2" Walkway Gravel | 3 to 4 inches deep, compacted over fabric |
Beaverton sits in Gladwin County where the ground freezes deep and stays frozen. About 164 days a year drop below 32F, which limits the work window for building a path. The soil, mapped as somewhat poorly drained in the Beaverton area, needs a thicker base of stone to keep the surface layer dry.
Ground that freezes deep moves as it thaws, which is why the base layer matters more here than the top layer. A walkway laid on a shallow base will heave and settle as the frost goes in and out. That is why the base depth matters as much as the look of the top stone.
The area gets about 53 inches of snow a year, which matters because plowing can scrape a loose gravel surface into the lawn. A compacted walkway gravel surface stands up to the blade better than a loose one. About 71 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain, so scheduling the delivery onto firm ground rather than mud is a real consideration.
