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





Walkway gravel comes in several sizes in Schertz, and choosing the right one changes how a path feels underfoot and how long it stays in place. Schertz gets about 34 inches of precipitation a year, which makes drainage planning more important than it is in drier parts of Texas.
The smallest grades pack into a firm surface that is comfortable to walk on, while larger stone stays loose and works better for decorative edges. Each size has a natural use, and matching the stone to the project saves rework.
The most-ordered product for standard paths is 3/8" Walkway Gravel because it compacts well and sheds water. Other sizes suit different jobs and are listed below.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Walkway Gravel | General path and walkway surfacing | All-purpose blend, works for most residential paths |
| 3/8" Walkway Gravel | Small, even, easy to walk on | Compacts into a stable surface that resists shifting |
| 3/4" Walkway Gravel | Wider garden paths that see wheelbarrows | Handles foot traffic and light loads without rutting |
| 1"-1 1/2" Walkway Gravel | Informal paths and side yards | Loose stone, good for areas where appearance matters more than firmness |
| 2"-3" Walkway Gravel | Decorative edging and dry creek borders | Large stone stays put, no compaction needed |
The table below matches typical projects to the right product and a starting depth. Adjust depth for traffic level and soil conditions.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Play area surfacing | 3/8" Walkway Gravel | 4 to 5 inches for cushion and drainage |
| Dry creek edge | 2"-3" Walkway Gravel | One stone deep, visual border only |
| Garden path | 3/4" Walkway Gravel | 3 inches compacted over a fabric base |
| Patio base | Walkway Gravel | 4 inches compacted before pavers go down |
| Side-yard walkway | 3/8" Walkway Gravel | 3 inches, borders needed to contain it |
About 46 days a year in Schertz bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain. That means scheduling delivery onto firm ground matters: a wet yard on delivery day can turn the first layer into mud before the gravel ever goes down. On the other side, about 20 days a year drop below 32F, and snowfall is about 0 inches a year. Without a hard freeze to lift the surface, drainage and washout are what decide how long the material lasts. Ground freezing here is not a significant factor, so the base layer does not need extra depth to handle frost heave.
The ground around Schertz is in hydrologic group C, which means it takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface. A deeper drainage layer earns its place under walkway gravel here because the native soil does not let water percolate quickly. Without that layer, a path can hold puddles and shift underfoot during wet spells.
Tonnage depends on the area you are covering and the depth you choose. A wider path or a deeper base means more material. Use the material calculators on the Gravel Monkey site to get a tonnage estimate before you order. The calculator works for any size of walkway gravel listed above.

Delivery only goes ahead once you approve that second email.
You agree to be available, or to have someone you nominate at the site, during the delivery window. The site needs a road width of at least 12 feet for the truck.

Yes. Schertz gets about 34 inches of precipitation a year, and about 46 days bring measurable rain. That is enough to erode a shallow gravel path if the base and drainage are not set up correctly. A deeper drainage layer and edges that keep stone in place make the difference between a path that stays put and one that spreads into the yard.
Rarely. About 20 days a year drop below 32F, but snowfall is about 0 inches a year, so ice on the road is not a typical concern. The bigger factor is wet ground from rain: scheduling delivery onto firm ground is more important than worrying about frozen access.
Landscape fabric is a good idea for any path that sits on bare soil. It stops weeds from pushing through the stone and keeps the gravel from mixing into the dirt below. Without it, the walkway gravel slowly sinks into the ground and you need to top it up more often.
Edging of some kind is the answer. Plastic lawn edging, steel strips, treated lumber or stone borders all hold the gravel where you put it. Without edging, foot traffic and rain push the outer stones into the grass or flower beds over time.
