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





The price of walkway gravel comes from more than the stone. Delivery by dump truck and base preparation for Ocean Springs's 68 inches of yearly rain both matter. That is why Gravel Monkey lets you pick the product and delivery day, and we handle the rest.
Choosing the right size keeps the stone in place and prevents washout. The wrong size shifts underfoot or spreads into the lawn. Your job is to match the product to the path.
Not every size suits every project. Small stones pack well for foot traffic but can push aside under a wheelbarrow. Large stones stay put but feel rough on bare feet. The table below lists the available products and their best use.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Walkway Gravel | general path and walkway surfacing | A versatile blend that works for most straight paths. |
| 3/8" Walkway Gravel | small, even, easy to walk on | Compacts well for a stable surface on firm ground. |
| 3/4" Walkway Gravel | wider garden paths that see wheelbarrows | Larger stones resist rutting under heavier loads. |
| 1"-1 1/2" Walkway Gravel | informal paths and side yards | Lets rainwater through while holding its shape. |
| 2"-3" Walkway Gravel | decorative edging and dry creek borders | Stays in place during heavy runoff events. |
The right product depends on the use. The table below matches common projects to the recommended product.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| side-yard walkway | 3/8" Walkway Gravel | Firm surface next to a wall or fence. |
| patio base | 3/4" Walkway Gravel | Supports furniture and light traffic. |
| garden path | 1"-1 1/2" Walkway Gravel | Drains well and stays visible. |
| play area surfacing | 3/8" Walkway Gravel | Smooth enough for bare feet. |
| dry creek edge | 2"-3" Walkway Gravel | Holds against washout from rain. |
Ocean Springs receives about 68 inches of precipitation each year. That much rain means drainage is critical. A walkway that does not shed water quickly will wash out or rut. Planning for water flow before the gravel goes down saves rework.
About 75 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain. That many wet days make scheduling the delivery onto firm ground important. Soft soil compresses under a loaded dump truck and leaves ruts you then have to fill. Work can run most of the year in this climate, which makes scheduling the delivery the easy part.
Soils mapped in the Ocean Springs area are commonly very poorly drained. Where the ground is not artificially drained, water sits on top. That means more base stone under the walkway gravel than you would need in sandy soil. The ground also falls into dual hydrologic group B/D. Where it is drained, water soaks in at a moderate rate. Where it is not, water runs across the surface. Drainage and a deeper base matter more here than elsewhere. Only about 16 days drop below freezing, so frost heave is rarely a problem and the base layer can be shallower than in northern states.
To find the right amount, measure the length and width of your walkway in feet, decide on a depth in inches, and convert that to tons. Gravel Monkey's material calculators do that math for you. Just enter your dimensions and the calculator gives the tonnage needed.
You order online by the ton. At checkout, the price appears based on your ZIP code. Loads range from 1 ton to 40 tons or more, and qualifying orders ship free. Use code FIRSTTIMER50 for $50 off a first order. You choose a delivery window: morning, 7 am to 12 pm, or afternoon, 12 pm to 5 pm. A valid phone number is required to confirm the date. You get an email confirmation first, then a second email closer to the date with the scheduled window and a photo of the material being loaded. Delivery only goes ahead once you approve that second email. Someone must be at the site during the window. The access road needs to be at least 12 feet wide for the dump truck.
