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





A typical walkway project uses a few tons of gravel. Potosi gets about 45 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage and washout planning matter for any path surface. Choosing the right size and depth helps the gravel stay where you put it.
The delivery crew drops the load where you mark it. You order online by the ton, and the truck comes to your address.
Walkway gravel comes in several sizes. The right one depends on how you plan to use the path. The table below lists each product and its best use.
| Product | Best use | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Walkway Gravel | General path and walkway surfacing | All-purpose screened gravel, good for most straight paths |
| 3/8" Walkway Gravel | Small, even, easy to walk on | Tight compaction, comfortable underfoot, low profile |
| 3/4" Walkway Gravel | Wider garden paths that see wheelbarrows | Stays put better under load than smaller stone |
| 1"-1 1/2" Walkway Gravel | Informal paths and side yards | Loose enough for drainage, firm enough to walk on |
| 2"-3" Walkway Gravel | Decorative edging and dry creek borders | Not meant for heavy foot traffic; purely aesthetic |
Choosing the right walkway gravel depends on how you plan to use the path. The table below matches common projects to the best product and depth.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Garden path | 3/8" Walkway Gravel | 2 to 3 inches compacted |
| Side-yard walkway | 3/4" Walkway Gravel | 3 inches compacted, may need edging |
| Play area surfacing | Walkway Gravel | 4 inches loose depth |
| Dry creek edge | 2"-3" Walkway Gravel | Single layer, no compaction needed |
| Patio base | 3/4" Walkway Gravel | 4 inches compacted before pavers |
Ground around Potosi is in hydrologic group D, which means it takes water in very slowly, so most rain runs across the surface. That makes drainage and a deeper base more important here than elsewhere. About 73 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain, so scheduling the delivery onto firm ground is practical.
Potosi sees about 104 freezing days a year. That affects the work window for installing a walkway and how much the ground moves under the base. Snowfall averages about 9 inches a year, which can damage a loose surface during plowing. Winters here are cold enough to move an unsettled base, so compaction is worth the extra pass. Ground freezing here is real but moderate, so a deeper base layer helps keep the path stable through freeze-thaw cycles.

These materials work well alongside walkway gravel for a complete project.
Yes. Potosi sees about 104 freezing days a year, which can affect ground conditions and truck access. The delivery team schedules around firm ground and will confirm with you. Plowed snow may need to be cleared from the drop zone.
Ground freezing here is real but moderate. Order early enough to complete the base before deep freeze, or wait until spring thaw. If you order during winter, compaction still works, but the material may settle after thaw.
Landscape fabric can help reduce weed growth and keep gravel separate from soil. It is not required but is often recommended for walkways that see regular use. Fabric also slows silt migration into the gravel.
Yes. Smaller stones like 3/8 inch compact more tightly and create a firmer surface. Larger stones interlock less and stay looser, which allows more water through. Choose your size based on how firm you want the path.
