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





Contractors tend to order walkway gravel by the truckload for a single job, while homeowners often measure a path or a garden edge and ask for a precise tonnage. The material itself is the same: clean, angular stone that locks together underfoot.
Mexia gets about 41 inches of precipitation a year, so choosing a gravel that drains well matters. Walkway gravel is sized and washed to let water pass through, which keeps the surface firm after a rain.
Walkway gravel comes in several size ranges. Pick the one that matches how you plan to use the path, how much foot traffic it will see, and whether you want a smooth or a more rustic look.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Walkway Gravel | General path and walkway surfacing | A versatile blend that works for most residential paths. |
| 3/8" Walkway Gravel | Small, even, easy to walk on | Feels almost like a packed surface under bare feet. |
| 3/4" Walkway Gravel | Wider garden paths that see wheelbarrows | Stable enough for occasional light cart traffic. |
| 1"-1 1/2" Walkway Gravel | Informal paths and side yards | A looser fill that still stays put with good edges. |
| 2"-3" Walkway Gravel | Decorative edging and dry creek borders | Large stones that create visual separation in the landscape. |
Match the gravel size to what you are fixing: a muddy side path, a new garden route, or a play area that needs a clean surface.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Play area surfacing | 3/8" Walkway Gravel | Add a compacted base layer for stability. |
| Dry creek edge | 2"-3" Walkway Gravel | Use as decorative topping, no base needed. |
| Side-yard walkway | 3/4" Walkway Gravel | Spread 2 to 3 inches over a compacted base. |
| Garden path | 1"-1 1/2" Walkway Gravel | A deeper layer helps with weed suppression. |
| Patio base | Walkway Gravel | Needs a firm subgrade and edge restraint. |
Limestone County permitted about 29 single-family homes in 2024, so new development is creating fresh driveways and paths. Rural lanes and in-town lots in Mexia share the same soil challenge: the ground around town is commonly mapped as moderately well drained. That means a base layer of crushed stone underneath the walkway gravel often pays off.
Mexia sees about 56 days a year with at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Scheduling delivery onto firm ground avoids rutting from the truck. The soil in the Mexia area is in hydrologic group C, which takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface. A deeper drainage layer under the gravel earns its place here, especially on paths that run across a slope.
About 38 days a year drop below 32 degrees Fahrenheit. Winters here are cold enough to move an unsettled base, so compaction is worth the extra pass. Frost heave is moderate, but a well-compacted base keeps the surface level through freeze-thaw cycles.
To estimate the tonnage, measure the length and width of the area and decide on the depth. Use our material calculators to turn those dimensions into a tonnage order.
Ordering is done entirely online. You pick the material and quantity, choose a delivery date at least 3 business days out, and select a window: morning 7 am to 12 pm or afternoon 12 pm to 5 pm. The price is calculated by your ZIP code at checkout.
A valid phone number is required to confirm the delivery. You get an email confirmation when you order, 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 available at the site during the window. Use code FIRSTTIMER50 for $50 off your first order.

Yes. Mexia gets about 41 inches of rain a year, so a path that does not drain well will stay soft and puddle. Walkway gravel is washed and open-graded, which lets water run through rather than pooling on top. A deeper drainage layer underneath is a smart move for any low-lying area.
It can. About 38 days a year drop below freezing, and the ground freezing here is moderate but real. If you lay gravel before the ground freezes firm, you have time to compact the base properly. Ordering in late fall while the soil is still workable avoids a wet, muddy install in early spring.
Walkway gravel is sold by the ton. The calculator on our site converts cubic yards to tons based on the material density. You enter the length, width, and depth of your project, and we tell you how many tons to order.
No. Someone must be available at the site during the chosen delivery window. This person marks where the load should go and confirms access for the truck. If no one is there, the driver cannot leave the material and a redelivery fee may apply.
