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





Dillon gets about 11 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage and washout planning matter for any path or walkway. Walkway gravel naturally sheds water and stays stable underfoot, which makes it a practical choice for this climate.
We stock five sizes of walkway gravel, each suited to a different kind of job. The most ordered size for Dillon projects is the 3/4 inch, but the other options serve specific purposes for paths, edges, and bases.
Below is the full lineup of walkway gravel you can order by the ton. Click any product name for more details on that material.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Walkway Gravel | General path and walkway surfacing | Versatile blend works for most residential walkway projects. |
| 3/8" Walkway Gravel | Small, even, easy to walk on | Best for tight spaces and areas where you want a smooth surface. |
| 3/4" Walkway Gravel | Wider garden paths that see wheelbarrows | The most popular choice for paths that get regular foot and cart traffic. |
| 1"-1 1/2" Walkway Gravel | Informal paths and side yards | Larger stones stay put better on sloped or less-used routes. |
| 2"-3" Walkway Gravel | Decorative edging and dry creek borders | Oversized rock for visual contrast and erosion control along edges. |

About 206 days a year drop below 32F in Dillon, which narrows the work window and causes ground movement from freeze-thaw cycles. Hard freezes shape the calendar here, so base work is easier to get right from late spring through fall.
The county gets roughly 42 inches of snowfall annually. Plowing that snow can displace a loose gravel surface if the base is not compacted well.
Frost penetrates deep and stays long, so the base layer under walkway gravel needs to be thick enough to resist heaving. Soils mapped in the Dillon area are commonly well drained, which means less base stone is needed under the surface layer. Ground around Dillon is in hydrologic group B, taking water in at a moderate rate, so standard base depth is usually enough to handle runoff.
You can figure out the tonnage by measuring the length and width of your path and choosing a depth. Use our material calculators to get a quick estimate for any project size.

These materials are often ordered alongside walkway gravel for the same job. Each is a separate product delivered in the same truck.
Yes, winter conditions can affect delivery access. About 206 days a year drop below 32F, which can freeze the ground and make dump truck access tricky if the site is not cleared. Delivery is scheduled at least 3 business days out, and you pick the window, but frozen ground or snow drifts may require the driver to stop at the road edge.
About 31 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain in Dillon. Scheduling the delivery on a dry forecast helps keep your site firm for the dump truck and for spreading the gravel soon after it arrives.
Install edging along the walkway before the gravel goes down. Metal, plastic, or stone edging holds the stone in place and keeps the path cleanly bordered.
Yes, smaller stones compact more tightly because they fill voids better. Larger stones leave more air gaps, so they settle less and stay looser, which is useful for decorative edges but not for a firm walking surface.
