Common Walkway Jobs and Which Gravel to Order

Different projects need different gravel sizes. Here are five typical uses and what to order.

Sullivan Weather and Soil Considerations for Walkway Gravel

Sullivan receives about 40 inches of rain each year, which makes drainage a priority when laying a gravel path. About 84 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain, so scheduling the delivery onto firm ground helps avoid ruts.

About 128 days each year drop below freezing, shortening the work season and causing the ground to heave. The ground freezes deep and long here. Thaw softens the ground for a stretch each spring, which is when a thin layer shifts underfoot. The base beneath the walkway gravel needs to be deep enough to resist frost movement.

Soils mapped in the Sullivan area are commonly moderately well drained. The soil water behavior falls in dual hydrologic group C/D. Where the soil is drained, water soaks in slowly; where it is not, most rain runs off the surface. That means a deeper base layer matters more than in many other areas. Sullivan also averages 47 inches of snow a year, and plowing can disturb a loose gravel surface if the path edges are not defined.

Estimating the Tonnage for Your Walkway Gravel Job

To figure out how many tons of walkway gravel you need, measure the length and width of the path and choose a depth. Our material calculators help you convert those numbers into tons based on the specific product.

Frequently Asked Questions About Walkway Gravel in Sullivan

How many wet days a year should I plan a walkway gravel delivery around in Sullivan?

Sullivan has about 84 days a year with at least a tenth of an inch of rain. It is best to schedule the delivery for a dry period so the ground is firm and the truck can access the drop point without creating ruts.

Do winter conditions in Sullivan affect delivery?

Yes. Sullivan averages 47 inches of snow each year, and the ground stays frozen for a long stretch. Delivery can be more challenging in winter because the drop area may be covered in snow or the thaw can soften the ground.

How do I know how deep to go?

To figure out the depth, consider the use and the base layer. For a light footpath, 2 to 3 inches of walkway gravel on a compacted base is typical. Heavier use or poor drainage may need more. Our material calculators can help estimate the tonnage for a given depth.

What surface does the truck need to reach the drop point?

The truck needs a clear path at least 12 feet wide to reach the drop point. If access is restricted, the crew will unload as close to the spot as they can safely get. Gravel Monkey will confirm access when scheduling the delivery.
