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





Grand Marais gets about 29 inches of precipitation a year. That moisture means drainage and washout planning matter for any walkway gravel project. The right base and surface layer keep paths stable through wet weather.
Walkway gravel is a durable, low-maintenance choice for paths and patios. It comes in several sizes to match different uses and looks.
For most projects, the standard Walkway Gravel is the first choice. It works well for general path and walkway surfacing. Other sizes suit specific jobs.
| Product | Use | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Walkway Gravel | general path and walkway surfacing | The standard option for most walkways. |
| 3/8" Walkway Gravel | small, even, easy to walk on | Best for finely surfaced paths underfoot. |
| 3/4" Walkway Gravel | wider garden paths that see wheelbarrows | Handles wheelbarrow traffic without rutting. |
| 1"-1 1/2" Walkway Gravel | informal paths and side yards | A looser fill for casual areas. |
| 2"-3" Walkway Gravel | decorative edging and dry creek borders | Large stones for visual borders. |
Use this table to pick the right product for common walkway projects. Depth depends on the base and traffic. Always check with our calculator.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Side-yard walkway | 3/4" Walkway Gravel | Depth depends on base; use calculator. |
| Dry creek edge | 2"-3" Walkway Gravel | Decorative; no specific depth. |
| Patio base | Walkway Gravel | Compacted base; depth per project. |
| Play area surfacing | 3/8" Walkway Gravel | Even surface; adjust depth as needed. |
| Garden path | 1"-1 1/2" Walkway Gravel | Informal; depth varies. |
About 187 days a year drop below 32F in Grand Marais. That long freeze means the ground moves, so a deeper base layer is needed to keep walkway gravel stable. Snowfall of about 65 inches adds weight that can shift a loose surface if not properly compacted.
Soils in the Grand Marais area are commonly moderately well drained. That affects how much base stone you need under the surface layer. The ground around Grand Marais is in dual hydrologic group B/D: where drained, it absorbs water moderately; where not, most rain runs off. Drainage and a deeper base matter more here than elsewhere.
Thaw softens the ground for a stretch each spring, which is when a thin layer shifts underfoot. Plan your installation after the thaw to avoid settling.
