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





Walkway gravel is a crushed stone material built for paths and garden walkways. It compacts underfoot and drains naturally, which matters in a place like Savannah that gets about 59 inches of precipitation a year. Without good drainage, a path turns into a muddy channel.
Unlike decorative pebbles or river rock, walkway gravel is angular and locks together when compacted. This makes it stable enough for a wheelbarrow and less likely to spread. Savannah's 83 wet days per year mean you need a surface that stands up to repeated rain.
If you are building a path, the size of the gravel determines how it feels underfoot and how it holds together. Smaller sizes are easier to walk on; larger sizes work for decorative borders. Here are the options we stock, each available by the ton.
| Product | Use | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Walkway Gravel | General path and walkway surfacing | Standard mix that compacts well for most jobs |
| 3/8" Walkway Gravel | Small, even, easy to walk on | Good for barefoot paths and tight garden spaces |
| 3/4" Walkway Gravel | Wider garden paths that see wheelbarrows | Firm base under wheel loads, still comfortable to walk |
| 1"-1 1/2" Walkway Gravel | Informal paths and side yards | Rougher texture, less compact, better for low traffic |
| 2"-3" Walkway Gravel | Decorative edging and dry creek borders | Larger pieces stay in place without compaction |
The table below matches common Savannah projects with the best walkway gravel size. Depth recommendations assume you compact the base properly.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Garden path | 3/8" Walkway Gravel | 2 to 3 inches compacted |
| Side-yard walkway | 3/4" Walkway Gravel | 3 inches on a base of crushed gravel |
| Play area surfacing | 3/4" Walkway Gravel | 4 inches for cushion |
| Patio base | 1"-1 1/2" Walkway Gravel | 4 to 6 inches under pavers |
| Dry creek edge | 2"-3" Walkway Gravel | Single layer, no compaction needed |
Savannah gets about 59 inches of precipitation a year, so a walkway that does not drain will wash out. The 83 days that bring measurable rain mean you need to schedule delivery when the ground is firm. Soils mapped in the Savannah area are commonly somewhat poorly drained, so you may need more base stone under the walkway gravel.
Freezing days number about 82 a year, which causes the ground to move as it freezes and thaws. This movement can shift a shallow path. A deeper base layer helps keep the surface level. Snowfall averages about 1 inch a year, so plowing damage to a loose surface is less of a concern than in northern areas but still worth noting. Freeze and thaw cycles work on loose material all winter, which is the argument for the deeper first lift.
Ground around Savannah is in dual hydrologic group C/D. Where it is drained it takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface; where it is not, it takes water in very slowly, so most rain runs across the surface. This means drainage and a deeper base matter more here than elsewhere, depending on your lot's drainage.
To find the right amount, measure the length and width of your path in feet and multiply by the depth you want in inches. Then use our material calculators to convert that volume into tons. Deliveries start at one ton and go up to 40 tons or more.

These materials work well with walkway gravel for a complete job:
The smallest load is one ton. Because soils in the Savannah area are commonly somewhat poorly drained, you will want a base layer under the gravel to keep the path level. A ton covers about 40 square feet at 3 inches deep.
Spring or fall is best, when the ground is not frozen. With about 82 freezing days a year, winter ground movement can shift a new path. Spring gives you time to compact before the 83 rainy days.
Use edging like landscape timbers or steel strips to keep the gravel contained. A sharp edge prevents the stones from washing into the lawn during heavy rain.
The sizes differ in stone diameter, which affects walking comfort and compaction. The 3/8 inch gives a smooth surface, while the 2-3 inch pieces are for decoration only. The 3/4 inch size works for both paths and bases.
