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





Building a garden path or patio base that stays stable through the seasons takes the right surface gravel. In Wimberley, where about 20 days a year drop below freezing, the base needs to handle freeze-thaw cycles without shifting.
Two good options for this climate are 3/8" Walkway Gravel for tight, even surfaces and 3/4" Walkway Gravel for wider paths that see wheelbarrows.
Walkway gravel splits into base material and finish material. The smaller sizes compact into a solid walking surface, while larger stones work for decorative borders. Choose based on the traffic and look you want.
| Walkway Gravel | General path and walkway surfacing | A versatile mix that compacts well for most residential paths. |
| 3/8" Walkway Gravel | Small, even, easy to walk on | Ideal for formal walkways where a smooth surface underfoot matters. |
| 3/4" Walkway Gravel | Wider garden paths that see wheelbarrows | Large enough to stay put under wheel traffic but still walkable. |
| 1"-1 1/2" Walkway Gravel | Informal paths and side yards | Loose, natural look for low-traffic areas where you don't need a compacted surface. |
| 2"-3" Walkway Gravel | Decorative edging and dry creek borders | Oversize stones that stay in place visually; not for walking on barefoot. |
For each project, the budget option uses a smaller stone that compacts, while the long-term option uses a larger stone that drains freely and needs less maintenance.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Garden path | 3/8" Walkway Gravel | 2 inches compacted over a fabric base |
| Patio base | 3/4" Walkway Gravel | 4 inches compacted for sitting furniture |
| Play area surfacing | 1"-1 1/2" Walkway Gravel | 3 to 4 inches loose for impact absorption |
| Side-yard walkway | Walkway Gravel (general mix) | 2 inches compacted, top dressed with 3/8" |
| Dry creek edge | 2"-3" Walkway Gravel | Single layer, no compaction needed |
Wimberley's freeze-thaw cycle puts stress on any base that drains poorly. With about 20 freezing days a year, an unstable base can heave and shift your path. A well-drained layer of 3/4" Walkway Gravel under your finish stone helps prevent that.
The ground around Wimberley takes water in very slowly, so most rain runs across the surface. That means drainage is critical: a deeper gravel base than you might use elsewhere keeps water from pooling under the stones. This area gets about 37 inches of precipitation a year, and roughly 48 days bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain, so you want the water moving downhill, not sitting in your walkway.
Ground freezing here is not a significant factor, so you do not need an extra-thick base for frost protection. Work can run most of the year in this climate, which makes scheduling the delivery the easy part.
Your tonnage depends on the square footage and the depth you choose. Walkway gravel is sold by the ton, and loads run from one ton to 40 tons. Use our material calculators to get a quick estimate for your project area.

The volume depends on your project square footage and the depth you want. Wimberley gets about 37 inches of precipitation a year, so a well-drained base is important. Use our material calculators to estimate the tonnage for your specific area and depth.
For a compacted walking surface, choose 3/8" Walkway Gravel. For wider paths that need to handle wheelbarrows or garden carts, 3/4" works better. Decorative edging uses larger stones like 2"-3".
