Tower's Climate and What It Means for Walkway Gravel

Tower gets about 28 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage matters more than in drier areas. The soil around Tower is in hydrologic group C, meaning it takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface. That extra runoff makes a deeper drainage layer under walkway gravel a smart move.

About 203 days a year drop below 32 degrees Fahrenheit. Hard freezes shape the calendar here, so base work is easier to get right from late spring through fall. The ground freezes deep and long, which means the base layer needs to be thick enough to resist heaving when it thaws.

Snowfall of about 69 inches a year also matters. Plowing a loose gravel surface can push stones aside, so using a larger size like 3/4 inch or a compacted base helps keep the path in place through winter.

How Much Walkway Gravel You Need

To figure out how many tons, measure the length and width of the path in feet, multiply by the depth in inches, and divide by 12 to get cubic feet. A cubic foot of walkway gravel weighs about 100 to 120 pounds. Gravel Monkey's material calculators do the math for you once you enter your dimensions.
