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





Walkway gravel is sold by the ton, not the bag. A path 3 feet wide and 40 feet long, laid 2 inches deep, takes about a ton of material. Santa Rosa gets about 15 inches of precipitation a year, which means drainage and washout planning matter for any gravel surface.
Gravel Monkey delivers straight to your address. No trip to a yard, no rental trailer. Pick the size that fits your project, order by the ton, and schedule a drop-off window that works for you.
Walkway gravel comes in several sizes so you can match the stone to how the path will be used. Finer gravel packs into a stable surface for foot traffic. Larger stones stay put but are harder to walk on.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Walkway Gravel | General path and walkway surfacing | Mixed sizes that compact well underfoot |
| 3/8" Walkway Gravel | Small, even, easy to walk on | Best for barefoot areas or high-traffic paths |
| 3/4" Walkway Gravel | Wider garden paths that see wheelbarrows | Sturdy enough for light equipment |
| 1"-1 1/2" Walkway Gravel | Informal paths and side yards | Loose look with good drainage |
| 2"-3" Walkway Gravel | Decorative edging and dry creek borders | Too large for walking but works as a visual border |
Match the gravel grade to the job. These five common projects give you a starting point.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Side-yard walkway | 3/8" Walkway Gravel | 2 inches after compaction |
| Play area surfacing | 3/4" Walkway Gravel | 3 inches for cushion and drainage |
| Dry creek edge | 2"-3" Walkway Gravel | Single layer, no compaction needed |
| Garden path | 1"-1 1/2" Walkway Gravel | 2 to 3 inches deep |
| Patio base | 3/4" Walkway Gravel | 4 inches compacted as base below pavers |
Planning a gravel path in Santa Rosa means working around the local climate. Santa Rosa has about 31 days a year with at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Scheduling the delivery onto firm ground avoids mud and ruts from the dump truck. The area also gets about 115 freezing days a year, when temperatures drop below 32F. That limits the work window if you want to lay gravel when the ground is not frozen or soft.
Winters here are cold enough to move an unsettled base, so compaction is worth the extra pass. Soils mapped in the Santa Rosa area are commonly poorly drained, so more base stone under the surface layer can prevent washout. Ground around Santa Rosa is in dual hydrologic group B/D. Where it is drained it takes water in at a moderate rate; where it is not, it takes water in very slowly, so most rain runs across the surface. Drainage and a deeper base matter more here than elsewhere.
Tonnage depends on the area and depth. A 3-foot-wide path, 2 inches deep, needs about 0.4 tons per 10 feet of length. Use our material calculators to get a precise number based on your dimensions. The calculator works for any of the walkway gravel sizes listed above.
