Florissant Weather and Walkway Gravel

Florissant receives about 42 inches of precipitation annually. This means any walkway gravel surface needs proper drainage to prevent washout and pooling. A base layer that slopes away from structures helps.

With about 72 days a year that bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain, scheduling the delivery onto firm ground is important. Wet soil can rut under the dump truck's weight, so choose a day when the ground is dry.

Freezing days number about 85 per year, dropping below 32F. The ground moves with each freeze-thaw cycle, which can heave a thin gravel layer. A deeper initial lift counters that movement. Snowfall is modest at around 11 inches annually, but plowing can disturb loose surface gravel if the blade catches the edge. Freeze and thaw cycles work on loose material all winter, which is the argument for the deeper first lift. Ground freezing here is real but moderate, so the base layer needs to be deep enough to stay stable. A 4- to 6-inch compacted base of 1"-1 1/2" walkway gravel is typical.

Frequently Asked Questions About Walkway Gravel in Florissant

What is the smallest load of walkway gravel you deliver to Florissant?

The smallest load is 1 ton. Florissant's population is about 51,231, and a single ton is enough for a modest walkway project. You can order exactly that amount online.

When is the best time of year to order walkway gravel in Florissant?

Spring to early fall, before the ground freezes. St. Louis County permitted about 687 single-family homes in 2024, so many new driveways and walkways were installed during the building season. Scheduling your delivery in that window avoids the worst of the freeze-thaw cycles.

How do I stop it spreading past the edges?

Use an edge restraint such as metal or plastic edging. Compacted walkway gravel stays in place better with a border. Without an edge, foot traffic and rain will push stones outward.

What is the difference between the sizes of walkway gravel you stock?

The sizes range from 3/8 inch to 3 inches. Smaller gravel like 3/8 inch compacts into a firm surface, while larger grades like 1 to 1.5 inches provide drainage and stability under heavier use. The choice depends on the project's traffic and appearance.
