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





Building a new garden path or refreshing an existing walkway starts with the right gravel. Walkway gravel gives you a surface that holds up to foot traffic and blends with the landscape. Burnsville gets about 53 inches of precipitation a year, so choosing a material that drains well matters.
Two sizes work for most Burnsville projects: 3/8" Walkway Gravel for a smooth, even surface and 3/4" Walkway Gravel for wider paths that see wheelbarrows. Both are delivered by dump truck to your address.
Think of walkway gravel in two layers: a compacted base stone and a finished surface. The base spreads the load and keeps the path stable. The surface material determines how it feels underfoot and how it looks. The table below lists the sizes we supply.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Walkway Gravel | General path and walkway surfacing | Versatile mix suitable for most residential paths |
| 3/8" Walkway Gravel | Small, even, easy to walk on | Good for barefoot-friendly paths and play areas |
| 3/4" Walkway Gravel | Wider garden paths that see wheelbarrows | Stays put under wheeled traffic better than smaller stone |
| 1"-1 1/2" Walkway Gravel | Informal paths and side yards | Larger stone that settles into a natural look |
| 2"-3" Walkway Gravel | Decorative edging and dry creek borders | Oversize stone for visual contrast and drainage channels |
Each project has a budget option and a long-term option. The table below matches common jobs with the right material and depth.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Patio base | 3/4" Walkway Gravel | Compact 4 inches for a stable base under pavers |
| Side-yard walkway | 3/8" Walkway Gravel | 2 to 3 inches after compaction for a firm, even surface |
| Play area surfacing | 3/8" Walkway Gravel | 4 inches for cushion and drainage; avoid large stone |
| Dry creek edge | 2"-3" Walkway Gravel | One layer of large stone for visual definition |
| Garden path | Walkway Gravel (general mix) | 3 inches for a natural look that handles light foot traffic |
Burnsville sees about 116 days a year when the temperature drops below 32F. That many freeze-thaw cycles can shift an unstable gravel base, making the surface uneven over time. Winters here are cold enough to move an unsettled base, so compaction is worth the extra pass.
Soils mapped in the Burnsville area are commonly well drained. That means water moves through the ground quickly, which reduces the need for extra base stone. But the ground around Burnsville takes water in at a moderate rate, so a standard base depth of 2 to 3 inches usually handles drainage well.
Burnsville also gets about 13 inches of snow a year. Plowing a loose gravel surface can push stone aside, so consider using larger stone or a binder if you plow the path in winter.
Walkway gravel is sold by the ton. The amount you need depends on the area and the depth you choose. Use our material calculators to convert square footage and depth into tons. A typical walkway 4 feet wide and 20 feet long at 3 inches deep needs roughly 1 ton.
Ordering is straightforward. You select the material and quantity online, choose a delivery window at checkout, and a dump truck brings it to your address. The delivery date must be at least 3 business days after the order date. You will receive a confirmation email, then a second email with the scheduled window and a photo of the load. Delivery goes ahead only after you approve that second email.
You or someone you nominate must be present during the delivery window. The site needs a road width of at least 12 feet for the truck. Gravel Monkey sources from regional suppliers, so the exact color and size can vary with local quarry output. For your first order, use code FIRSTTIMER50 to get $50 off.
