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





Walkway gravel is a straightforward material, not easily mixed up with other aggregates. For paths, patios and play areas in Davis, it provides a stable surface that allows water to drain through.
Planning ahead matters because Davis gets about 56 inches of precipitation a year. That much rain means washout is a real risk on a poorly prepared base, so drainage planning is part of the job.
Picking the wrong size can leave you with an unstable surface or a path that is hard to keep clean. Here is what each walkway gravel product is designed for:
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Walkway Gravel | General path and walkway surfacing | Suitable as a base or surface layer on well-drained ground. |
| 3/8" Walkway Gravel | Small, even, easy to walk on | Works well underfoot and compacts into a firm surface for patios. |
| 3/4" Walkway Gravel | Wider garden paths that see wheelbarrows | Stays in place under wheelbarrow traffic and drains quickly. |
| 1"-1 1/2" Walkway Gravel | Informal paths and side yards | Allows water to pass through while providing a natural look. |
| 2"-3" Walkway Gravel | Decorative edging and dry creek borders | Too large for walking surfaces but excellent for drainage features. |
For specific projects, matching the gravel size to the job prevents problems. Here are five common jobs in Davis and what to order for each:
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Dry creek edge | 2"-3" Walkway Gravel | Use as a decorative top layer over landscape fabric. |
| Garden path | 3/4" Walkway Gravel | Apply as a top layer over a compacted subbase. |
| Play area surfacing | 3/8" Walkway Gravel | Provides a soft, even surface for children's play areas. |
| Side-yard walkway | 1"-1 1/2" Walkway Gravel | Create a stable path with good drainage. |
| Patio base | Walkway Gravel | Use as a base layer before installing pavers or flagstone. |
Davis experiences about 142 freezing days a year. That freeze-thaw cycle can heave a loose surface, so the base needs to be deep enough to stay stable. Freeze and thaw cycles work on loose material all winter, which is the argument for the deeper first lift.
The area also sees about 105 inches of snowfall annually. Plowing can scatter a loose gravel surface, so a top-dress of larger stone or a compacted layer helps keep it contained.
Soil in the Davis area is commonly mapped as moderately well drained, and the ground takes water in very slowly. Most rain runs across the surface rather than soaking in, so a deeper base and good grading matter more here than in many other places.
