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





Contractors often buy walkway gravel by the truckload for multiple jobs, while a homeowner usually needs one path or a small patio. Both want a surface that stays put and drains well. Naples gets about 34 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage and washout planning matter for every walkway.
Gravel Monkey delivers walkway gravel by the ton directly to your address in Naples. You choose the size, pick a delivery window at checkout, and the truck drops the load where you mark it.
Walkway gravel comes in several sizes. The stone size controls how compact the surface feels and how stable it stays underfoot. The table below lists each product and what it works best for.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Walkway Gravel | General path and walkway surfacing | A blended size that compacts well for a firm, stable surface. |
| 3/8" Walkway Gravel | Small, even, easy to walk on | Ideal for front paths where a smooth, tidy finish is the goal. |
| 3/4" Walkway Gravel | Wider garden paths that see wheelbarrows | Sturdy enough for light equipment yet still comfortable to walk on. |
| 1"-1 1/2" Walkway Gravel | Informal paths and side yards | Loose enough to drain fast, large enough to stay put on slopes. |
| 2"-3" Walkway Gravel | Decorative edging and dry creek borders | Oversized stone that gives a bold visual line without compacting. |
Each job calls for a different size and depth. Below are five common projects around Naples and the product that fits each one.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Play area surfacing | 3/8" Walkway Gravel | 2 to 3 inches deep; the small stones are gentle underfoot. |
| Patio base | 3/4" Walkway Gravel | Compact 4 to 6 inches for a stable foundation under pavers. |
| Side-yard walkway | 1"-1 1/2" Walkway Gravel | 3 inches deep; the larger stones stay clean in narrow passes. |
| Dry creek edge | 2"-3" Walkway Gravel | One stone thick, border only, not a walking surface. |
| Garden path | Walkway Gravel | 3 to 4 inches deep; the blended size resists rutting from foot traffic. |
Naples sees about 81 days a year with at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Scheduling a delivery onto firm ground is easier when you pick a dry stretch in the calendar. Snowfall here is about 55 inches a year, and plowing can push loose gravel off a walkway if the edge is not defined.
About 138 days a year drop below 32F. Ground that freezes deep moves as it thaws, which is why the base layer matters more here than the top layer. The frost is deep and long, so the base depth under your walkway gravel should account for that. Soils mapped in the Naples area are commonly well drained, and the ground around Naples is in hydrologic group A, which soaks water up quickly and produces little runoff. That means you need less drainage stone under the surface layer than you might in a heavier soil.
Ontario County permitted about 216 single-family homes in 2024. Many of those new lots will need a reliable path from driveway to door, and walkway gravel is a simple option that handles freeze-thaw cycles well.
How many tons you need depends on the square footage and the depth you choose. Use the material calculators on the Gravel Monkey site to convert your measurements into tons for any walkway gravel size.
Ordering is straightforward. You pick the stone size and the quantity by the ton, enter your ZIP code for a delivery price, and choose a delivery window: morning from 7 am to 12 pm or afternoon from 12 pm to 5 pm. The delivery date must be at least 3 business days after the order date. A dump truck brings the load to your address and drops it where you mark, as long as the site has a road width of at least 12 feet.
After you place the order, you get an email confirmation and then a second email with the scheduled window and a photo of the material being loaded. You must approve that second email before the truck leaves. Someone must be at the site during the window. Inspect the delivery within 48 hours and photograph any issues. Gravel Monkey is a national aggregate broker, so the exact stone appearance can vary by region. Natural variation in color and shape is not covered by the guarantee.

Walkway gravel often works best when combined with another material for the edges, base, or adjacent areas.
Yes. Snowfall of about 55 inches a year and frequent freezing can make site access tricky. If the driveway or path is snow-covered or icy, the driver may not be able to reach the drop spot. You are responsible for keeping the delivery area clear.
Yes. About 138 days a year drop below 32F, and the ground freezes deep and long. That freeze-thaw cycle can heave a shallow base. Ordering walkway gravel in late spring or early fall, when the ground is stable, gives the base a better chance to settle.
Landscape fabric helps separate the gravel from the soil and reduces weed growth. It is not required, but it can extend the time between maintenance. The decision depends on your soil and how much weed pressure you expect.
Yes. Smaller stones like 3/8" Walkway Gravel lock together tightly and create a firm surface. Larger stones like 1"-1 1/2" Walkway Gravel stay looser and drain faster but do not compact as hard. The right size depends on whether you want a stable walking surface or a free-draining path.
