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





Walkway gravel is a screened aggregate made for paths. Rock Hill gets about 46 inches of precipitation a year, so you need a gravel that drains instead of holding water. The right size keeps your walkway stable and reduces washout.
Each size has a different feel and load-bearing capacity. Small gravel compacts well but can shift on slopes. Larger pieces stay put but are harder on bare feet. Pick the size that matches how you use the path.
Every size works for walkways, but each has limits. The table lists what each product is less suited for.
| Product | Best for | Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Walkway Gravel | General path and walkway surfacing | Not ideal for steep slopes without edging |
| 3/8" Walkway Gravel | Small, even, easy to walk on | Can wash out if drainage is poor |
| 3/4" Walkway Gravel | Wider garden paths that see wheelbarrows | Less comfortable for walking without shoes |
| 1"-1 1/2" Walkway Gravel | Informal paths and side yards | Uneven underfoot; not for frequent walking |
| 2"-3" Walkway Gravel | Decorative edging and dry creek borders | Not a walking surface; too large to compact |
Match your project to the right material and depth.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Patio base | 3/4" Walkway Gravel | 4 to 6 inches for a stable base |
| Play area surfacing | 3/8" Walkway Gravel | 2 to 3 inches; soft underfoot |
| Dry creek edge | 2"-3" Walkway Gravel | 2 to 3 inches; decorative only |
| Side-yard walkway | 1"-1 1/2" Walkway Gravel | 2 to 3 inches; drains fast |
| Garden path | 3/8" Walkway Gravel | 2 inches; easy to walk on |
Rock Hill sees about 70 days a year with at least a tenth of an inch of rain. That many wet days means the ground under your walkway stays damp longer. Schedule the delivery onto firm ground so the gravel does not sink into mud. About 60 days a year drop below 32F. Freeze-thaw cycles can move the gravel surface, so a deeper base helps keep it level. Snowfall here averages only about 1 inch a year, but plowing can push loose gravel aside. Ground freezing is not significant, so you do not need extra depth for frost. Work can run most of the year in this climate, which makes scheduling the delivery the easy part.
Drainage is the main concern. The rain keeps the soil wet, and walkway gravel needs a slope or a sub-base to shed water. If you have clay soil, consider adding a geotextile fabric to separate the gravel from the dirt.
Measure the length and width of your path, then multiply by the depth you want. That gives you cubic feet. Convert to tons by dividing by the material's density, which varies by size. Use our material calculators to get the exact figure. Enter your dimensions and it tells you how many tons to order.
Buy online by the ton. Delivery is priced by your ZIP code at checkout. You choose a delivery window: morning, 7 am to 12 pm, or afternoon, 12 pm to 5 pm. The delivery date must be at least 3 business days after the order. Orders over a certain amount ship free, and first-time customers save $50 with code FIRSTTIMER50.
You get an email confirmation, then a second email with the scheduled window and a photo of the material being loaded. Someone must be at the site during the window. Your driveway or access road needs to be at least 12 feet wide for the truck. Delivery information has the full details. Read customer reviews and about Gravel Monkey for more background.
Yes, we deliver walkway gravel to Rock Hill and all of York County. Rock Hill gets about 46 inches of precipitation a year, so choose a size that drains well or add a fabric layer to separate the gravel from wet soil.
The smallest load is 1 ton. We deliver loads from 1 to 40+ tons. A 1-ton load covers roughly 100 square feet at a 2-inch depth, but use the calculator for your exact dimensions.
Yes, we deliver to rural addresses as long as the site has a 12-foot wide access road for the truck. The crew unloads as close to your spot as they can safely reach.
It depends on the project. Use 3/8" for paths you walk on frequently. Use 3/4" for garden paths that see wheelbarrows. Use 1" to 1 1/2" for informal side yards, and 2" to 3" for decorative edges or dry creek beds.
