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





Putting down a walkway in Lewisville means choosing a gravel that holds up to nearly 47 inches of annual precipitation. The two most common options are 3/8" Walkway Gravel for a smooth, compact surface and 3/4" Walkway Gravel for paths that see wheelbarrow traffic.
For a base layer, a larger stone gives better drainage underneath. For the finished walking surface, a smaller, uniform size is easier on the feet and compacts more tightly.
| Product | Best use | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Walkway Gravel | General path and walkway surfacing | All-purpose blend, good for most straight runs |
| 3/8" Walkway Gravel | Small, even, easy to walk on | Compact tread with a smooth feel underfoot |
| 3/4" Walkway Gravel | Wider garden paths that see wheelbarrows | Stays in place better than larger sizes under load |
| 1"-1 1/2" Walkway Gravel | Informal paths and side yards | Loose, natural look; less compaction than smaller |
| 2"-3" Walkway Gravel | Decorative edging and dry creek borders | Large stones, not meant for walking on directly |
The right size depends on whether you want a budget-friendly path or one that lasts with minimal maintenance. These five common projects show the trade-off.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Side-yard walkway | 3/8" Walkway Gravel | 2 to 3 inches deep, compacted |
| Play area surfacing | Walkway Gravel (standard) | 4 to 6 inches, softer fall surface |
| Patio base | 3/4" Walkway Gravel | 4 inches compacted, holds pavers |
| Garden path | 1"-1 1/2" Walkway Gravel | 3 inches, informal and permeable |
| Dry creek edge | 2"-3" Walkway Gravel | Single layer, decorative border |
Lewisville gets about 47 inches of precipitation a year, and that rain matters most in the first few months after installation. About 79 days per year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain, so scheduling the delivery onto firm ground helps keep the base from washing out. Without a hard freeze to lift the surface, drainage and washout are what decide how long the material lasts.
The ground around Lewisville is in hydrologic group C, which means it takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface. That surface runoff makes a drainage layer under the walkway gravel more important than a deep base. Around 98 days a year drop below 32F, and the county sees about 4 inches of snowfall annually. Plowing that snow can shift loose gravel, so a compacted top layer is a good idea. Ground freezing here is not a significant factor, which means the base layer does not need to be as deep as it would in colder regions.
Walkway gravel is sold by the ton, and the amount you need depends on the depth and area of your project. Use our material calculators to convert square footage and desired depth into tonnage. The calculator handles both cubic yards and tons for any size you choose.
Ordering is done entirely online by the ton. Delivery is priced by ZIP code at checkout, and a dump truck brings the load to your address in Lewisville.

You select a delivery window (morning 7 am to 12 pm or afternoon 12 pm to 5 pm) and provide a valid phone number to confirm the drop. After placing the order, you receive a confirmation email and later a second email with the scheduled window and a photo of the material being loaded. You must approve that second email before delivery goes ahead, and someone must be at the site during the window.

The best window is late spring through early fall, because about 98 days a year drop below freezing and that can make the ground too firm or muddy to work. Delivering during the warmer, drier months lets the gravel settle before winter rain arrives.
The smallest load is 1 ton, and that covers roughly 80 to 100 square feet at a 2-inch depth. Lewisville gets about 47 inches of rain per year, so a deeper base may be worth the extra material to improve drainage.
The sizes range from 3/8 inch up to 2 to 3 inches. Smaller stones compact into a firm, easy-to-walk surface, while larger stones stay loose and are better for decorative edges or dry creek beds.
Yes. Smaller gravel, like 3/8 inch, compacts into a very stable layer when tamped. Larger gravel does not lock together as tightly and stays looser, which is fine for looks but not for a walking surface.
