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





In Dickinson, the ground is frozen about 190 days a year, so most walkway work happens in the warmer months. Planning drainage is important because the area gets about 18 inches of precipitation annually.
Walkway gravel handles that drainage well if the base is prepared right. It lets water through and keeps mud from collecting on the surface.
The most common choice for paths in Dickinson is our standard Walkway Gravel. It works for most residential paths and garden walks. For specific uses, different sizes give better results.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Walkway Gravel | general path and walkway surfacing | Versatile size for most walkways. |
| 3/8" Walkway Gravel | small, even, easy to walk on | Good for tight areas like steps. |
| 3/4" Walkway Gravel | wider garden paths that see wheelbarrows | Handles foot traffic and light wheels. |
| 1"-1 1/2" Walkway Gravel | informal paths and side yards | Gives a looser, more natural feel. |
| 2"-3" Walkway Gravel | decorative edging and dry creek borders | Too big for underfoot, best for edges. |
Each project needs the right gravel size and depth. This table shows what we recommend for common jobs.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Garden path | Walkway Gravel | 2 to 3 inches deep |
| Patio base | 3/4" Walkway Gravel | 4 to 6 inches deep |
| Side-yard walkway | 3/8" Walkway Gravel | 2 to 3 inches deep |
| Play area surfacing | 3/4" Walkway Gravel | 4 to 6 inches deep |
| Dry creek edge | 2"-3" Walkway Gravel | 3 to 4 inches deep |
Stark County, where Dickinson sits, gets about 39 inches of snow each year. That snow and the freeze-thaw cycle can shift a loose gravel path. A firm base and the right gravel size help keep the surface even.
With about 190 days below freezing, the ground freezes deep. That depth means the base layer should be thick enough to resist movement. Thaw softens the ground for a stretch each spring, which is when a thin layer shifts underfoot.
The annual rainfall of about 18 inches is moderate, but wet days happen about 39 times a year. Good drainage under the gravel keeps water from pooling.
To figure how much walkway gravel you need, measure the length and width of your path and decide on the depth. Multiply to get cubic feet, then convert to tons. Use our material calculators to do the math quickly.
