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





Contractors order walkway gravel by the truckload for a single job. Homeowners often buy smaller amounts for weekend projects. Both need a clean, firm surface that handles foot traffic without shifting. Bean Station gets about 48 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage and washout planning matter here more than in drier areas.
Gravel Monkey delivers walkway gravel by the ton straight to your address. The delivered price is set at checkout based on your ZIP code. You choose a delivery window: morning, 7 am to 12 pm, or afternoon, 12 pm to 5 pm. Whether you are building a new path or refreshing an old one, the size you pick affects how it performs.
Walkway gravel comes in sizes from small 3/8-inch stones to large 2-to-3-inch pieces. Each size suits a different purpose.
| Size | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Walkway Gravel | general path and walkway surfacing | A blend of sizes that compacts to a firm surface for light foot traffic. |
| 3/8" Walkway Gravel | small, even, easy to walk on | The smallest walkway gravel, good for a smooth surface underfoot. |
| 3/4" Walkway Gravel | wider garden paths that see wheelbarrows | A medium size that holds up to light rolling loads. |
| 1"-1 1/2" Walkway Gravel | informal paths and side yards | Larger stones that stay in place well on gentle slopes. |
| 2"-3" Walkway Gravel | decorative edging and dry creek borders | Decorative size for borders and edges where drainage is key. |
These five projects show which size solves each situation.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Patio base | Walkway Gravel | 4 to 6 inches compacted in lifts |
| Dry creek edge | 2"-3" Walkway Gravel | 2 to 3 inches deep for a natural look |
| Play area surfacing | 3/8" Walkway Gravel | 3 inches minimum depth for cushion |
| Garden path | 3/4" Walkway Gravel | 2 to 3 inches on a compacted base |
| Side-yard walkway | 1"-1 1/2" Walkway Gravel | 3 inches, use border edging |
Grainger County permitted about 68 single-family homes in 2024, a sign that new development is steady around Bean Station. Many of these homes need walkways and paths. The local climate shapes how you build them. Bean Station gets about 48 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage and washout planning matter. The ground around here is in hydrologic group D, which means it takes water in very slowly. Most rain runs across the surface, so a deeper base and good drainage matter more than in other areas.
About 87 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Scheduling a delivery onto firm ground is easier when you pick a dry window in the forecast. About 87 days a year drop below 32F, which shrinks the work window and can cause frost heave. Winters here are cold enough to move an unsettled base, so compaction is worth the extra pass. Snowfall averages about 8 inches a year. A loose walkway surface can be damaged by plowing, so a compacted top layer helps.
Ground freezing is real but moderate. That affects how deep the base layer needs to stay stable through winter. Compacting the walkway gravel in lifts keeps the surface from shifting when the ground thaws in spring.
To figure out how many tons of walkway gravel to order, measure the length and width of your path and multiply by the depth you plan to use. Use the material calculators on our site to convert cubic yards into tons based on the stone size you choose. That tool tells you the weight you need for any given area.
Order walkway gravel online by the ton. At checkout, you enter your ZIP code to see the delivered price. Choose a delivery window: morning (7 am to 12 pm) or afternoon (12 pm to 5 pm). The date must be at least 3 business days after the order. You get an email confirmation, then a second email with the scheduled window and a photo of the material once it is loaded. Delivery only proceeds after you approve that second email.
Someone must be at the site during the delivery window. The truck needs a 12-foot-wide access road. If access is tight, the driver unloads as close to the spot as safely possible. Cancel the order within 24 hours for a full refund. Later cancellations carry a 25 percent processing fee. Orders cancelled within 48 hours of delivery are not refundable. After you approve the second email, the order cannot be changed or refunded.
Inspect the delivery within 48 hours and photograph any issues. Gravel Monkey will correct a wrong material, wrong location, or quality outside industry norms. The company does not cover site access problems, weather changes after delivery, or natural variation in color and shape. Confirm that your driveway and property can handle a heavy truck.

Yes. Bean Station averages about 8 inches of snowfall a year, and plowing can damage a loose walkway surface. We recommend a well-compacted top layer to avoid shifting. Delivery timing can shift due to winter weather, and we keep you updated on any major delays.
Ground freezing is moderate but real. About 87 days a year drop below 32F, which can cause the base to move if not compacted properly. Order early in the season so the base settles before the first hard freeze.
Landscape fabric is not required, but it helps reduce weed growth and keeps the gravel from mixing with the soil underneath. It is a good addition for garden paths and side yards where you want to limit maintenance.
Yes. Smaller stones like 3/8-inch walkway gravel compact into a denser, more stable surface. Larger stones leave more air gaps and do not lock together as tightly, so they work better for decorative uses where drainage is the goal.
