Buy Walkway Gravel in Moretown, Vermont

Moretown gets about 45 inches of precipitation a year. That kind of rainfall means drainage is a priority for any outdoor surface. Walkway gravel lets water pass through, which reduces puddling and runoff compared to concrete or asphalt. But the base layer and gravel size still need to match the site conditions.

Walkway gravel comes in several sizes, each suited to a different job. Loose gravel paths stay firm when the base drains well and the top layer is compact enough. Gravel Monkey delivers walkway gravel by the ton to Moretown and the rest of Washington County.

How Moretown's Climate Affects Your Walkway Gravel Choice

Moretown has about 95 days a year with at least a tenth of an inch of rain. That means the ground is often soft or muddy. Scheduling your walkway gravel delivery for a dry stretch gives the truck a firm surface to drive on and keeps the gravel from mixing with mud.

About 169 days a year drop below freezing in Moretown. The ground freezes deep and stays frozen for long stretches. Ground that freezes deep moves as it thaws, which is why the base layer matters more here than the top layer. That freeze-thaw cycle shifts the soil, so the base layer of gravel must be thick enough to resist heaving.

Average snowfall here is about 118 inches a year. Plowing a walkway covered in loose gravel can push the stones aside and create ruts. A compacted top layer of 3/4-inch or larger gravel handles plow blades better than fine gravel. The ground around Moretown takes in water slowly, so a fair amount runs across the surface. A drainage layer beneath the walkway gravel helps direct that runoff away from the path.

Estimating How Much Walkway Gravel You Need
