ShopWalkway Gravel in Hood River
If you are laying a walkway or garden path, walkway gravel gives you a firm surface that handles foot traffic well. For smooth, even paths, 3/8" Walkway Gravel works well. For wider routes that see wheelbarrows, 3/4" Walkway Gravel is a better choice.
Hood River gets about 36 inches of precipitation a year, so washout is a real risk. A proper base layer helps keep the gravel in place. Good drainage planning from the start saves work later.

Local Conditions for Walkway Gravel in Hood River
Hood River gets about 36 inches of precipitation a year, so a good drainage layer is needed under any walkway gravel. The local soil takes water in slowly, which means water tends to run across the surface. A deeper base of crushed stone helps keep the gravel from washing away.
About 85 days a year drop below freezing, and 17 inches of snow fall annually. Freeze-thaw cycles can shift an unsupported base, and snowplowing can disturb a loose gravel surface. Winters here are cold enough to move an unsettled base, so compaction is worth the extra pass.
About 72 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain. It is wise to schedule your delivery for a dry spell so the truck can unload on firm ground.
Estimating How Much Walkway Gravel You Need
Measure the length and width of your path in feet, then multiply by the desired depth in inches and divide by 12 to get cubic feet. Use our material calculators to convert cubic feet to tons for the size you choose.
