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





Walkway gravel is a graded, washed aggregate that packs well underfoot and drains evenly. You buy it by the ton, order online, and Gravel Monkey handles the delivery to your address in Mounds.
Mounds gets about 44 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage and washout planning matter when you pick your surface stone. A deeper base layer keeps the walkway stable through wet seasons.
Each size serves a different purpose. Pick the one that matches the traffic, the look, and the ground you are covering.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Walkway Gravel | General path and walkway surfacing | A blend of sizes that locks together; good for most residential paths. |
| 3/8" Walkway Gravel | Small, even, easy to walk on | Smooth under bare feet; works for play areas and secondary paths. |
| 3/4" Walkway Gravel | Wider garden paths that see wheelbarrows | Stable enough for light cart traffic; less shifting than smaller stone. |
| 1"-1 1/2" Walkway Gravel | Informal paths and side yards | Loose surface that needs edging; good for utility walkways. |
| 2"-3" Walkway Gravel | Decorative edging and dry creek borders | Large stone that stays put; not walkable but defines beds well. |

About 77 days a year drop below 32F in Mounds. That freeze-thaw action loosens surface material over the season, which is the argument for starting with a deeper first lift. Plan for a base layer of 4 to 6 inches of compacted stone under the top surface.
Soils mapped in the Mounds area are commonly somewhat poorly drained. That means you likely need more base stone than a site on sandy ground would. Where the ground is drained, it takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface; where it is not drained, most rain runs across the surface instead of soaking in. Either way, drainage and a deeper base matter more here than elsewhere. Adding a few inches of base gravel lifts the walkway above the wet zone.
About 7 inches of snow falls each year. A plow or snowblower on a loose gravel surface can push the stone off the path. Choosing a larger, interlocking size like 3/4" or a compacted blend reduces that displacement. Freeze and thaw cycles work on loose material all winter, which is the argument for the deeper first lift.
Calculate tonnage from the area and the depth. One ton of walkway gravel covers roughly 70 to 100 square feet at a 3-inch depth, but that number shifts with the stone size and compaction. Use the material calculators on the Gravel Monkey site to get a close estimate for your Mounds address.

Yes. Gravel Monkey delivers to Mounds and any address the truck can reach in Creek County. Mounds gets about 44 inches of rain a year, so we suggest ordering a few extra tons for base stone if your site is low or has clay soil.
The smallest load is 1 ton. That covers roughly 70 to 90 square feet at a 3-inch depth. About 60 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain, so schedule the delivery for a dry stretch so the ground is firm when the dump truck arrives.
Yes. Gravel Monkey delivers to rural addresses, farm lanes, and unincorporated areas around Mounds. The delivery window and minimum load are the same. The truck needs at least 12 feet of road width to access the site.
The size depends on the use. For a main path you walk daily, 3/4" Walkway Gravel stays stable and sheds water. For a play area or barefoot path, 3/8" is smoother. For decorative edges or dry creek beds, 2" to 3" stone works best without shifting.
Head to the Mounds city hub to check pricing for your ZIP and place an order. Gravel Monkey gets you the material, the truck, and the drop, so you just pick the size and the day.
