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





Riddle gets about 36 inches of precipitation a year. That means drainage matters when you put down walkway gravel. Without planning, water can pool and wash out the surface.
The delivered price of your walkway gravel depends on the size you pick, the tonnage you need, and the distance from the nearest supplier. Riddle sits in Douglas County, and Gravel Monkey handles the trucking so you only choose the product and the delivery day.
Most walkway gravel products are not suited for driveways that see heavy vehicles. Each size has a specific use and a specific weakness. Below are the five walkway gravel products available through Gravel Monkey, matched to the jobs they handle well.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Walkway Gravel | General path and walkway surfacing | All-purpose blend for straight, even foot traffic |
| 3/8" Walkway Gravel | Small, even, easy to walk on | Tightly packed, low rolling resistance for barefoot comfort |
| 3/4" Walkway Gravel | Wider garden paths that see wheelbarrows | Stable under loads, drains well, stays put on slopes |
| 1"-1 1/2" Walkway Gravel | Informal paths and side yards | Loose, natural look; needs edging to keep it contained |
| 2"-3" Walkway Gravel | Decorative edging and dry creek borders | Large, open particles; not for walking surfaces |
The table below matches common Riddle project types with the walkway gravel size that handles each job best. Depth recommendations are starting points; adjust for traffic and soil conditions.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Side-yard walkway | 3/4" Walkway Gravel | 2 to 3 inches deep, compacted |
| Play area surfacing | 3/8" Walkway Gravel | 3 inches, tamped smooth |

| Garden path | Walkway Gravel | 2 inches, topped with 3/8" for comfort |
Riddle records about 84 days a year with at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Scheduling delivery onto firm ground is important, because wet soil compacts into ruts under the truck and under foot. The area also sees roughly 33 days a year below 32 degrees F, which narrows the work window to late spring through early fall if you want a dry, workable base.
Snowfall here runs about 1 inch a year, so plowing damage to a loose walkway surface is rarely a concern. Ground freezing is not a significant factor in Riddle, so the base layer does not need extra depth to resist frost heave. However, soils mapped in the Riddle area are commonly poorly drained. That means more base stone under the surface layer to lift the walkway gravel above standing water.
The ground around Riddle is in hydrologic group D, which means it takes water in very slowly. Most rain runs across the surface rather than soaking in, so drainage planning and a deeper base matter more here than elsewhere. Frost is not the constraint here, so the calendar is driven by rain and by how wet the ground is.
Walkway gravel is sold by the ton. To find out how many tons you need, measure the length and width of your path in feet, decide on the depth in inches, and plug those numbers into one of the material calculators on the Gravel Monkey site. The calculator returns a tonnage estimate that accounts for compaction and settling.
