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





If you are laying a new walkway or refreshing an old path, the right gravel makes the job last. Walkway Gravel works as a general surfacing material, while 3/8" Walkway Gravel gives a smaller, even surface that is easy to walk on.
New Market gets about 48 inches of precipitation a year, which means drainage and washout planning matter when you choose your base and top layer. Proper compaction and the right stone size keep the walkway stable in wet conditions.
Walkway gravel splits into two groups: smaller stones for the finish layer and larger stones for the base or for decorative uses. The table below lists every size we stock.
| Product | Use | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Walkway Gravel | General path and walkway surfacing | Versatile size that drains well and compacts moderately, making it a workhorse for general use. |
| 3/8" Walkway Gravel | Small, even, easy to walk on | Firms up nicely for barefoot-friendly walkways and stays comfortable even after rain. |
| 3/4" Walkway Gravel | Wider garden paths that see wheelbarrows | Holds up under wheelbarrow traffic without digging in or rutting, even after rain. |
| 1"-1 1/2" Walkway Gravel | Informal paths and side yards | Loose enough to look natural, stable enough to walk on, and easy to spread. |
| 2"-3" Walkway Gravel | Decorative edging and dry creek borders | Large stones stay put and create a visual boundary along paths and beds. |
For a budget-friendly option, choose a smaller size that compacts firm. For a long-term build, go with a larger base topped with a finish layer. Here are five common projects.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Patio base | 3/4" Walkway Gravel as base, then 3/8" Walkway Gravel as surface | Base 4 to 6 inches, surface 2 inches |
| Side-yard walkway | 3/8" Walkway Gravel | 2 to 3 inches deep |
| Garden path | 3/4" Walkway Gravel | 3 to 4 inches deep |
| Play area surfacing | 3/8" Walkway Gravel | 3 to 4 inches deep |
| Dry creek edge | 2"-3" Walkway Gravel | Single layer, 2 to 3 inches deep |
New Market experiences about 85 days a year below freezing. This freeze-thaw cycle can shift an uncompacted base, causing walkway gravel to settle unevenly. Proper compaction before winter is key.
Snowfall averages about 4 inches a year. While light, even small amounts of plowing can disturb a loose surface. A well-compacted top layer resists that movement. Winters here are cold enough to move an unsettled base, so compaction is worth the extra pass.
Soils mapped in the New Market area are commonly well drained, so less base stone may be needed than in clay-heavy areas. The ground is in hydrologic group B, meaning it takes water in at a moderate rate. Standard base depth is usually enough for walkway gravel.
The amount of walkway gravel you need depends on the area and the depth you choose. Use our material calculators to get a tonnage estimate for your New Market project. Enter your length, width and depth, and the calculator returns the tons required.

Several other materials pair well with walkway gravel for a complete project.
The best time is during dry periods. New Market has about 86 wet days a year, so choosing a stretch of dry weather helps you schedule the delivery onto firm ground and gives you dry days to spread the gravel.
The smallest load is 1 ton. Our delivery system handles loads from 1 ton up to 40 tons or more, so even a small path can be served.
Landscape fabric is not required but it helps suppress weeds and keeps the gravel from sinking into the soil. Use a permeable fabric so water drains through.
The sizes range from 3/8 inch small gravel up to 2 to 3 inch stones. Small sizes pack firm and are comfortable to walk on, while larger sizes are used for edging or as a base layer.
