How Stilwell's Climate Affects Your Walkway Gravel

Stilwell gets about 50 inches of precipitation a year. That much rain running across the surface, especially on group D soils that take water in very slowly, means drainage under a walkway matters more here than in many places. A deeper base layer of larger stone helps keep the gravel from washing out.

About 67 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Scheduling delivery onto firm ground means checking the forecast and allowing a dry couple of days before the truck comes. The ground around Stilwell freezes on about 83 days a year, which is enough to cause frost heave. Freeze and thaw cycles work on loose material all winter, which is the argument for the deeper first lift. A base layer of 4 to 6 inches of crushed stone below the walkway gravel helps keep the surface even through the seasons.

Snowfall averages about 4 inches a year. Plowing a thin layer of snow off a loose gravel walkway can gouge the surface, so take care if you use a blade. The soils mapped in the Stilwell area are commonly somewhat poorly drained, which reinforces the need for a good base layer.

How Much Walkway Gravel You Need for Your Stilwell Job

Walkway gravel is sold by the ton. To figure how many tons you need, measure the length and width of the path in feet and the depth in inches. Multiply length by width by depth and divide by 27 to get cubic yards. Then use the material calculators on the Gravel Monkey site to convert cubic yards to tons for the specific product you choose. Add about 10 percent for compaction and spillage.

Frequently Asked Questions About Walkway Gravel in Stilwell

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

About 67 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Plan your delivery for a dry stretch of two to three days to ensure the ground is firm enough for the truck and the gravel base.

Does the ground in Stilwell freeze hard enough to change when I should order?

Yes, the ground freezes about 83 days a year below 32F. This causes frost heave that can shift a thin gravel layer. Order a deeper base to keep the surface level through winter.

Do I need landscape fabric under it?

Landscape fabric helps suppress weeds and keeps the gravel from mixing with the soil below. It is not required but recommended for low-maintenance pathways. Use a permeable fabric to let water drain through.

How do I stop it spreading past the edges?

Edge restraints like metal or plastic edging, landscape timbers, or concrete curbs keep the gravel contained. Install them before you spread the gravel to keep a clean line and reduce maintenance.
