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





Cadet gets about 45 inches of precipitation a year. Good drainage and washout planning are important when choosing walkway gravel. The right product and base help keep your path stable in wet weather.
Walkway gravel drains freely because of its open structure. That makes it a practical choice for paths that see rain and foot traffic throughout the year.
The most commonly ordered option for walkways is our general Walkway Gravel. It works for most path and walkway surfacing. If your project has specific needs, consider one of the other sizes below.
| Product | What it is for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Walkway Gravel | General path and walkway surfacing | A versatile mix for most residential paths. |
| 3/8" Walkway Gravel | Small, even, easy to walk on | Great for garden paths and frequent foot traffic. |
| 3/4" Walkway Gravel | Wider garden paths that see wheelbarrows | Stable surface for light equipment. |
| 1"-1 1/2" Walkway Gravel | Informal paths and side yards | Larger stones stay in place on less-used routes. |
| 2"-3" Walkway Gravel | Decorative edging and dry creek borders | Too large for walking but excellent for visual borders. |
Match your project to the right product and depth. This table shows common uses and the recommended gravel size. Use it as a starting point, then adjust based on your site conditions.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Play area surfacing | 3/8" Walkway Gravel | 2 to 3 inches deep for safety and comfort |
| Dry creek edge | 2"-3" Walkway Gravel | 1 to 2 stones deep for decorative effect |
| Patio base | 3/4" Walkway Gravel | 4 to 6 inches compacted for load bearing |
| Side-yard walkway | 1"-1 1/2" Walkway Gravel | 3 to 4 inches deep for a stable path |
| Garden path | 3/8" Walkway Gravel | 2 to 3 inches deep over landscape fabric |
Cadet sees about 73 days a year with at least a tenth of an inch of rain. That means scheduling your delivery onto firm ground is important. A dry stretch gives you a solid base for installation.
About 104 days a year drop below 32F. Freeze and thaw cycles work on loose material all winter, which is the argument for the deeper first lift. Planning the work window around the frost season helps keep the gravel in place.
Snowfall averages about 9 inches a year. Plowing can disturb a loose gravel surface, so consider a deeper layer if the path is near a driveway. Soils in the Cadet area are commonly well drained, which means less base stone is needed under the surface layer. The ground around Cadet takes water in at a moderate rate, so the standard base depth is usually enough.
The amount of walkway gravel you need depends on the area and depth of your path. Measure length and width in feet, then multiply by the depth in inches. Use our material calculators to get a tonnage estimate for your job.

Yes. Cadet gets about 45 inches of precipitation a year. That amount of rain can wash out a poorly drained path, so a proper base and drainage are important.
There are about 73 days a year with at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Plan your delivery for a dry stretch to keep the ground firm and avoid mud issues.
The sizes range from 3/8 inch to 2 to 3 inches. Smaller sizes are easier to walk on and pack down, while larger stones are used for decorative edging or dry creek beds.
Landscape fabric is recommended under walkway gravel. It helps prevent weeds from growing through and keeps the gravel separate from the soil, which can reduce settling.
