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





Ordering walkway gravel in Gilford means a dump truck arrives at your address, drops the load exactly where you mark, and you spread it yourself. You pick the size online, choose a delivery window, and the truck shows up within that window.
Gilford gets about 47 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage and washout planning matter when you build a gravel path.
The split between base material and finish material affects how long the path stays level and how comfortable it is to walk on. The table below lists the walkway gravel sizes you can order from Gravel Monkey.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Walkway Gravel | general path and walkway surfacing | A blend that works for most residential paths. |
| 3/8" Walkway Gravel | small, even, easy to walk on | Good for barefoot areas and tight curves. |
| 3/4" Walkway Gravel | wider garden paths that see wheelbarrows | Stable under loads and drains well. |
| 1"-1 1/2" Walkway Gravel | informal paths and side yards | Loose texture that naturalizes quickly. |
| 2"-3" Walkway Gravel | decorative edging and dry creek borders | Large stones that stay in place without binding. |
For a budget option you can top up each season, choose a smaller size. For a long-term base that holds shape with less maintenance, start with a larger stone and cap it with a finer one. This table matches typical projects to the right product.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Side-yard walkway | 3/4" Walkway Gravel | 4 to 5 inches with a compacted base |
| Garden path | 3/8" Walkway Gravel | 2 to 3 inches over landscape fabric |
| Dry creek edge | 2"-3" Walkway Gravel | Single layer, no base needed |
| Patio base | 1"-1 1/2" Walkway Gravel | 4 to 6 inches, tamped in lifts |
| Play area surfacing | Walkway Gravel | 6 to 8 inches, renewed yearly |
Gilford's freeze-thaw cycle puts stress on any gravel surface. About 171 days a year drop below 32F, which means the ground heaves over winter. Ground that freezes deep moves as it thaws, which is why the base layer matters more here than the top layer. A deeper drainage layer earns its place because the ground around Gilford is in hydrologic group C, meaning it takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface.
Snowfall totals about 68 inches a year, and plowing routines can push loose gravel aside. Using a larger top stone or a binder helps keep the surface where you put it. About 88 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain, so scheduling the delivery onto firm ground avoids rutting from the truck.
Belknap County permitted about 242 single-family homes in 2024, a county figure that hints at new build sites where walkway gravel gets installed right after grading. The frost goes deep and stays long here, so the base layer needs extra depth to hold stable through spring thaw.
Tonnes are calculated from the length, width and depth of the area you plan to cover. Use the material calculators on the Gravel Monkey site to get an estimate for your exact dimensions.
