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





Walkway gravel comes in several sizes, and the size you choose changes how the path looks, how it feels underfoot, and how often you need to top it up. Hazen gets about 18 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage and washout planning matter when you pick a grade.
Smaller stones pack tight and shed water well. Larger stones stay loose and work better for decorative edges. The right choice depends on the job and how much traffic the path will see.
The most ordered size for general paths is our standard Walkway Gravel. The table below shows all five sizes stocked, what each one is for, and what to expect from it.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Walkway Gravel | general path and walkway surfacing | All-purpose blend that packs firm and drains okay. |
| 3/8" Walkway Gravel | small, even, easy to walk on | Nearly like sand underfoot. Great for barefoot areas. |
| 3/4" Walkway Gravel | wider garden paths that see wheelbarrows | Stable enough for light cart traffic without rutting. |
| 1"-1 1/2" Walkway Gravel | informal paths and side yards | Loose feel. Needs edging to keep it in place. |
| 2"-3" Walkway Gravel | decorative edging and dry creek borders | Chunky and clean. Stays put with minimal maintenance. |
Match the project to the right product and depth. These estimates work for most Hazen yards and assume a compacted base where noted.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Play area surfacing | 3/8" Walkway Gravel | 2 to 3 inches deep. Soft under knees and hands. |
| Dry creek edge | 2"-3" Walkway Gravel | 4 to 6 inches deep. Holds position in heavy rain. |
| Side-yard walkway | 1"-1 1/2" Walkway Gravel | 3 to 4 inches deep. Needs edge restraint. |
| Patio base | 3/4" Walkway Gravel | 4 to 6 inches compacted. Then top with sand or fines. |
| Garden path | Walkway Gravel | 2 to 3 inches deep. Pack with a plate compactor. |
Soils mapped in the Hazen area are commonly moderately well drained. That means a base layer of larger stone under the surface walkway gravel may not be needed everywhere, but it still helps on flatter lots where water sits. The ground around Hazen is in hydrologic group C, which takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface. A deeper drainage layer earns its place on any path that crosses a low spot.
About 191 days a year drop below 32F. That many freezing days shorten the work window and cause the ground to heave and settle. Ground that freezes deep moves as it thaws, which is why the base layer matters more here than the top layer. A well-compacted base of 3/4" stone gives the surface something stable to sit on.
Hazen gets about 43 inches of snow a year. Plowing a path with loose gravel on top can push stones into the lawn. Using a smaller, tighter grade like 3/8" minimizes that problem.
Walkway gravel is sold by the ton. To figure out how many tons your project needs, measure the length and width in feet, decide on the depth in inches, and use our material calculators. The calculator converts your dimensions into tons and shows the delivered price for your ZIP code before you order.
Order online by the ton. Delivery is priced by ZIP at checkout, and a dump truck brings the load to your address. Most orders are 1 to 40 tons, and qualifying orders ship free. Use code FIRSTTIMER50 for $50 off your first order.
You choose a delivery window at checkout: morning, 7 am to 12 pm, or afternoon, 12 pm to 5 pm. The date must be at least 3 business days after the order date. A valid phone number is required.

Many Hazen buyers order these materials in the same trip for base layers, edging, or adjacent projects.
Hazen averages about 42 days a year with at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Schedule your delivery during a dry stretch so the ground is firm enough for the truck and the gravel stays clean.
Yes. Hazen sees about 191 days a year below 32F, and the frost goes deep. A thick base layer of 3/4" stone is more important here than in warmer areas. Order in spring or fall to avoid the frozen ground window.
Order at least 3 business days before you need the material. You pick a delivery window at checkout, and the date must be at least 3 business days out.
No. Someone age 18 or older must be present during the delivery window to direct the driver and accept the load. If no one is there, a redelivery fee may apply.
