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





Walkway gravel is sold by the ton, and the final cost depends on how much you need and how far the truck travels. You choose the size and the delivery day at checkout. The delivered price shows up when you enter your address.
Alliance gets about 42 inches of precipitation a year, which means drainage and washout planning should factor into your project. A stable base and proper grading keep the surface where it belongs.
Not every walkway gravel works for every path. The right size depends on traffic, slope, and whether the surface needs to be walked on or driven across. This table lists each product and what it handles best.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Walkway Gravel | General path and walkway surfacing | All-purpose blend for light foot traffic. |
| 3/8" Walkway Gravel | Small, even, easy to walk on | Compact, stable surface for formal paths. |
| 3/4" Walkway Gravel | Wider garden paths that see wheelbarrows | Handles heavier loads without shifting. |
| 1"-1 1/2" Walkway Gravel | Informal paths and side yards | Loose, natural feel; good for drainage. |
| 2"-3" Walkway Gravel | Decorative edging and dry creek borders | Large stones stay put and resist washout. |
Use this table to pair the project type with the right product and depth. Depths assume a compacted base and proper edge restraint.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Dry creek edge | 2"-3" Walkway Gravel | 2 to 3 inches deep; decorative and stable. |
| Side-yard walkway | 3/8" Walkway Gravel | 2 inches deep; compact for easy walking. |
| Patio base | 3/4" Walkway Gravel | 4 to 6 inches deep; compacted in lifts. |
| Play area surfacing | 3/8" Walkway Gravel | 3 inches deep; soft, loose surface. |
| Garden path | 1"-1 1/2" Walkway Gravel | 3 to 4 inches deep; good drainage and texture. |
Alliance sees about 89 days a year with at least a tenth of an inch of rain. That many wet days makes scheduling delivery onto firm ground a priority, especially for a loose surface that can rut. The ground around Alliance is in hydrologic group D, which means it takes water in very slowly and most rain runs across the surface. This behavior calls for a deeper base layer than you might use elsewhere to keep the gravel from washing out or pumping into the soil.
About 126 days a year drop below 32F, and the freeze-thaw cycles work on loose material all winter. That is the argument for a deeper first lift. Snowfall averages about 45 inches a year, and plowing can disturb a shallow gravel surface. A thicker layer helps it hold together under a blade.
The frost here is real but moderate, so how deep your base needs to go depends on the subgrade soil. Fall projects benefit from a base that is deep enough to resist heaving when the spring thaw comes.
Walkway gravel is sold by the ton, not by the cubic yard. The tonnage you need depends on the area, the depth, and the specific stone size. Use the material calculators on the Gravel Monkey site to convert your square footage to tons. Enter the depth and the stone size to get a close estimate before you order.
Order online by the ton, and the delivered price shows up at checkout based on your ZIP code. Loads range from 1 ton to over 40 tons. Use code FIRSTTIMER50 for $50 off your first order. Choose a delivery window: 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. You get an email confirmation, then a second email with the scheduled window and a photo of the load. Delivery proceeds only after you approve that second email.
You or someone you nominate must be available during the window. The site needs a road width of at least 12 feet for the truck. If access is restricted, the crew unloads as close as they can safely. Check the Delivery information page for full details. Read Customer reviews to see how others rate the service. Learn more about the company on the About Gravel Monkey page.
Walkway gravel works well with other bulk materials for a complete project. Consider these options for the layers underneath or nearby.
The smallest load we deliver is one ton. Alliance sees about 89 days a year with at least a tenth of an inch of rain, so scheduling delivery onto firm ground is important to avoid ruts. A single ton covers roughly 80 to 100 square feet at a 2-inch depth, depending on the stone size.
Order in late spring after the ground thaws and before the rainy season peaks. Alliance has about 126 days below freezing each year, so an early spring order may face soft ground. Late May through early October gives you the best conditions for installation and compaction.
Landscape fabric is not required, but it helps reduce weed growth and keeps the gravel from mixing with the soil underneath. Use a heavy-duty woven fabric rated for drainage. It also makes cleanup easier if you ever want to remove the gravel.
Install an edge restraint such as metal, plastic, or stone edging along the sides. A crisp edge keeps the gravel in place and makes mowing easier. On slopes, a deeper base and larger stone also help prevent spreading.
