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





Philadelphia gets about 60 inches of precipitation a year. A surface that drains fast and stays stable underfoot matters for a walkway that gets regular use.
Walkway gravel is a crushed stone product sized for paths, garden edges, and play areas. The right grade keeps the surface comfortable to walk on and holds its shape through wet weather.
Each size suits a different kind of traffic and use. Pick the grade that matches your project from the options below.
| Product | Best use | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Walkway Gravel | General path and walkway surfacing | A blended mix that works for most residential paths |
| 3/8" Walkway Gravel | Small, even, easy to walk on | Good for barefoot areas and play zones |
| 3/4" Walkway Gravel | Wider garden paths that see wheelbarrows | Stays in place better under loads than smaller stone |
| 1"-1 1/2" Walkway Gravel | Informal paths and side yards | A more open surface that still packs firm |
| 2"-3" Walkway Gravel | Decorative edging and dry creek borders | Larger stone for visual contrast and drainage |
Use the table below to match the surface type with the recommended product and depth.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Play area surfacing | 3/8" Walkway Gravel | 2 to 3 inches deep for cushion |
| Side-yard walkway | 3/4" Walkway Gravel | 3 inches deep, compacted well |
| Dry creek edge | 2"-3" Walkway Gravel | One stone thick as a border |
| Patio base | 1"-1 1/2" Walkway Gravel | 4 inches deep as a sub-base layer |
| Garden path | 3/4" Walkway Gravel | 2 to 3 inches deep for foot traffic |
Philadelphia sees about 81 days a year with at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Scheduling a delivery onto firm ground avoids ruts and compaction issues from a truck on wet turf.
About 59 days a year drop below 32 degrees Fahrenheit. Frost heave is not a major concern here, so a standard base of 4 to 6 inches of compacted gravel works well. Frost is not the constraint here, so the calendar is driven by rain and by how wet the ground is.
The ground around Philadelphia is in hydrologic group C, which means it takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface. A deeper drainage layer under the walkway earns its place to keep the path dry after heavy rain.
Walkway gravel is sold by the ton. To figure the quantity for your project, measure the length and width of the path, decide on depth, and use our material calculators to convert cubic feet to tons. The calculator gives you a volume estimate based on your dimensions.
Ordering is straightforward. Select your material and size, enter your delivery ZIP for a price, and choose a date at least 3 business days out. You pick a morning or afternoon window. A valid phone number is required to confirm the delivery.
You get an email confirmation when the order is placed, 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. You or someone you nominate must be available during the window.

The right size depends on the use. For play areas and barefoot paths 3/8" works well. For wider garden paths that see wheelbarrows 3/4" is better. For decorative edging or dry creek borders the 2"-3" size provides visual contrast.
