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





Walkway gravel comes in several sizes, and the size you pick changes how the path feels underfoot and how well it stays in place. Greenville gets about 52 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage and washout planning matter when you choose a grade. The right size also affects weed suppression and how much the gravel shifts over time.
Every product listed here is sold by the ton and delivered by dump truck to your address in Greenville. The delivered price appears at checkout before you commit. No need to call.
The most-ordered option is the general Walkway Gravel, a blended size that works for most paths. For a more finished feel, the 3/8 inch size gives a compact, easy surface. The larger grades suit heavier traffic or decorative uses. You can compare each one below.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Walkway Gravel | General path and walkway surfacing | All-purpose blend, works for most residential paths. |
| 3/8" Walkway Gravel | Small, even, easy to walk on | Compact surface, good for barefoot-friendly paths. |
| 3/4" Walkway Gravel | Wider garden paths that see wheelbarrows | Balances stability with drainage for utility paths. |
| 1"-1 1/2" Walkway Gravel | Informal paths and side yards | Loose, natural look; less compaction than smaller stone. |
| 2"-3" Walkway Gravel | Decorative edging and dry creek borders | Large stone stays put; good for visual borders. |
Each project calls for a specific size and depth. The table below matches five common jobs with the recommended product and a typical depth. Use these as starting points; your site conditions may shift the numbers.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Patio base | 3/4" Walkway Gravel | 4 to 6 inches compacted, then sand or fines on top. |
| Garden path | Walkway Gravel (general blend) | 2 to 3 inches loose; add base if soil is wet. |
| Dry creek edge | 2"-3" Walkway Gravel | Single layer of large stone, 4 to 6 inches wide. |
| Play area surfacing | 3/8" Walkway Gravel | 3 to 4 inches loose; avoid sharp edges. |
| Side-yard walkway | 1"-1 1/2" Walkway Gravel | 2 to 3 inches over landscape fabric for weed control. |
Soils mapped in the Greenville area are commonly poorly drained. That means you may need more base stone under the surface layer to keep the path from sinking or washing out. The ground around Greenville falls in dual hydrologic group C/D, so where it is drained it takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface; where it is not drained, most rain runs across the surface. Drainage and a deeper base matter more here than elsewhere, depending on how your site handles water.
Greenville has about 77 days a year with at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Scheduling a delivery onto firm ground can be easier if you pick a drier stretch. About 54 days a year drop below 32F, which can freeze the surface and make the gravel shift slightly, but the ground does not freeze deeply. Snowfall is only about 1 inch a year, so plow damage to a loose surface is rarely a concern. Frost is not the constraint here, so the calendar is driven by rain and by how wet the ground is.
Because frost is not a significant factor, the base layer under walkway gravel does not need extra depth for frost protection. That can simplify the design and save material. Focus on drainage and compaction instead.
Walkway gravel is sold by the ton. To estimate your tonnage, measure the length and width of the path in feet, decide on the depth in inches, and use the material calculators on our site. The calculator accounts for compaction and waste so you order the right amount. A typical 3-foot-wide path, 50 feet long, at 3 inches deep, comes to roughly 1.5 tons, but always run your own numbers. Use the material calculators to get an estimate for your exact project.
Ordering is straightforward. You pick the product and quantity online, enter your Greenville ZIP code, and the delivered price shows at checkout. Delivery is by dump truck in loads from 1 to 40-plus tons. You choose a window: morning (7 am to 12 pm) or afternoon (12 pm to 5 pm). The delivery date must be at least 3 business days after you order.
A valid phone number is required; orders without one can be delayed. You get an email confirmation immediately, then a second email closer to the date with the scheduled window and a photo of the material being loaded. Delivery only goes ahead once you approve that second email. Someone must be present during the window. Use code FIRSTTIMER50 to save $50 on your first order.

Many buyers order walkway gravel alongside other bulk materials for the same trip. The items below are commonly added to the same load.
Yes. Greenville has about 54 days a year that drop below 32F. The ground rarely freezes deeply, but cold weather can make the truck access muddy or freeze the surface. Delivery windows are subject to weather; you will be kept updated. Choose a dry forecast window if possible.
Tonnage depends on the area and depth you choose. Because frost is not a significant factor in Greenville, the base layer does not need extra depth for frost protection, so you can use a standard 2 to 4 inch depth for most paths. Measure the length and width in feet, multiply by depth in inches, and divide by 100 to get a rough tonnage. Use our material calculators for a precise number.
The driver will place the load as close to the requested spot as safely possible, given a road width of at least 12 feet. If access is restricted, the crew unloads at the nearest safe point. Confirm the site can handle a heavy truck and that someone is present during the window.
