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





Union gets about 76 freezing days a year. That repeated freeze and thaw can shift an unstable walkway surface, so a solid base matters. Scheduling your walkway gravel delivery when the ground is firm and dry makes the job go smoother.
Work on your paths and patios when the weather is settled, not right after a wet spell. That keeps the gravel from mixing into mud and gives you a clean surface to spread on.
The most ordered product for paths and walkways is standard Walkway Gravel. It works for general surfacing. For specific jobs, these alternatives offer different sizes and textures.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Walkway Gravel | General path and walkway surfacing | All-purpose size for most residential walkways. |
| 3/8" Walkway Gravel | Small, even, easy to walk on | Good for a smooth surface under bare feet. |
| 3/4" Walkway Gravel | Wider garden paths that see wheelbarrows | Firm enough for light wheeled traffic. |
| 1"-1 1/2" Walkway Gravel | Informal paths and side yards | Larger stone stays in place on less-used routes. |
| 2"-3" Walkway Gravel | Decorative edging and dry creek borders | Oversize pieces create a natural, loose look. |
Each project needs a different size and depth. These pairings give you a starting point.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Side-yard walkway | Walkway Gravel | Use calculator for exact tonnage. |
| Garden path | 3/8" Walkway Gravel | Shallower layer works for an even surface. |
| Patio base | 3/4" Walkway Gravel | Needs a compacted sub-base; see calculator. |
| Dry creek edge | 2"-3" Walkway Gravel | Thick layer for visual weight. |
| Play area surfacing | Walkway Gravel | Depth depends on fall height; check guidelines. |
Union gets about 45 inches of rain a year, so drainage matters. The soil around Union is commonly well drained, which means water moves through it rather than pooling. That reduces the need for extra base stone under your walkway gravel.
The ground here is in hydrologic group B, which takes water in at a moderate rate. A standard base depth is usually enough to handle runoff. About 69 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain, so plan your delivery day when the ground is firm, not saturated.
Snowfall runs about 2 inches a year, which is light, but plowing can scatter a loose surface. Frost is not the constraint here, so the calendar is driven by rain and by how wet the ground is. Time your project for a dry spell, and the gravel will stay where you put it.
Walkway gravel is sold by the ton. To figure out how many tons your path or patio needs, measure the length and width, decide on your depth, and use the material calculators on the Gravel Monkey site. They do the math for any size.
Order online by the ton. Your delivery price is set by your ZIP code at checkout. A dump truck brings the load to your address. Delivery must be at least 3 business days after the order date, and you choose a window: morning from 7 am to 12 pm, or afternoon from 12 pm to 5 pm. You need a valid phone number to confirm the delivery. Gravel Monkey sends an email confirmation right away, then a second email closer to the date with the scheduled window and a photo of the material being loaded. Delivery only goes ahead once you approve that second email. Someone must be at the site during the window. Use code FIRSTTIMER50 to get $50 off your first order.

Many customers buy these materials on the same order for a complete project.
About 76 days a year drop below 32 degrees Fahrenheit, but the ground does not freeze deeply enough to be a major factor for walkway gravel. The bigger concern is wet ground from rain. Order when the soil is firm, not muddy, so the truck can drive in and the gravel stays clean.
That depends on the area and the depth you choose. A typical walkway 3 feet wide and 20 feet long with a 2-inch layer needs about half a ton. Use the material calculators on the Gravel Monkey site for your exact dimensions.
The delivery price is calculated by your ZIP code at checkout. It varies by distance and the size of the load. You see the total before you place the order.
For foot traffic only, a 2-inch layer of walkway gravel is usually enough. If you expect wheelbarrows or a wheeled cart, go to 3 inches. For a base under pavers, you need a deeper compacted layer of crushed stone first.
