Buy Walkway Gravel in Beaufort, South Carolina

Walkway gravel is a practical surface for garden paths, side-yard routes and patio edges. Beaufort gets about 51 inches of precipitation a year, so the gravel you choose needs to handle drainage without washing out. Gravel Monkey stocks several sizes of walkway gravel, including 3/8" Walkway Gravel for a firm walking surface and 3/4" Walkway Gravel for paths that also see wheelbarrows.

Order by the ton online, and a dump truck delivers to your address. No need to visit a yard. The price is set by your ZIP code at checkout, and loads range from 1 to 40+ tons.

Beaufort Weather and What It Means for Your Walkway Gravel

With about 51 inches of precipitation a year, drainage is the main concern for any gravel path. About 70 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain, so you will often be scheduling delivery onto firm ground rather than trying to install in wet soil. The ground around Beaufort is in hydrologic group A, which means it soaks water up quickly and produces little runoff. That reduces the amount of drainage stone needed under the surface layer.

Soils mapped in the Beaufort area are commonly moderately well drained, which can mean more or less base stone under the surface depending on your specific spot. About 27 days a year drop below 32F, but ground freezing here is not a significant factor, so base depth does not need to account for frost heave. Frost is not the constraint here, so the calendar is driven by rain and by how wet the ground is.

How Much Walkway Gravel You Need for Your Beaufort Project

Tonnage depends on the area you are covering and the depth you choose. A 2-inch layer over a 4-foot-wide by 20-foot-long path takes roughly 0.6 tons, but coverage varies by gravel size and compaction. Use the material calculators on our site to get a tonnage estimate based on your dimensions.

Frequently Asked Questions About Walkway Gravel in Beaufort

When is the best time of year to order walkway gravel in Beaufort?

The dry months, typically April through October, are best because the ground is firm and you can schedule delivery with less risk of wet soil. Beaufort has about 70 wet days a year, so installing during a drier stretch gives the gravel a chance to settle before heavy rain.

What is the smallest load of walkway gravel you deliver to Beaufort?

The minimum load is 1 ton. A single ton of 3/8" Walkway Gravel covers roughly 80 to 100 square feet at a 2-inch depth, depending on compaction. Larger loads reduce the per-ton delivery cost.

Do I need landscape fabric under it?

Fabric helps separate the gravel from the soil underneath and reduces weed growth. It is not required, but it can extend the time before you need to top up the gravel. If your path is on moderately well drained soil, fabric also keeps the gravel from mixing into the ground.

What is the difference between the sizes of walkway gravel you stock?

The smallest size, 3/8", packs into a firm, even surface that is comfortable to walk on. The 3/4" size drains faster and resists rutting under wheelbarrows. The 1"-1 1/2" size is open and porous, good for informal paths and side yards. The 2"-3" size is decorative only, used for edging, dry creek beds and visual borders.
