| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Walkway Gravel | General path and walkway surfacing | A blended size that compacts firmly. |
| 3/8" Walkway Gravel | Small, even, easy to walk on | Good for barefoot areas; stays in place well. |
| 3/4" Walkway Gravel | Wider garden paths that see wheelbarrows | Thicker stones resist rutting under light loads. |
| 1"-1 1/2" Walkway Gravel | Informal paths and side yards | Loose enough for drainage, not for fine walking. |
| 2"-3" Walkway Gravel | Decorative edging and dry creek borders | Too large for a steady foot surface. |
The job you are doing decides the right product and depth. The table below matches common New Martinsville projects to a recommended size.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Garden path | 3/8" Walkway Gravel | 2 to 3 inches after compaction |
| Play area surfacing | Walkway Gravel | 4 inches minimum |
| Patio base | 3/4" Walkway Gravel | Compacts well under pavers |
| Dry creek edge | 2"-3" Walkway Gravel | Single layer for appearance |
| Side-yard walkway | 1"-1 1/2" Walkway Gravel | Drains quickly, stays loose |
Soils mapped in the New Martinsville area are commonly well drained, which often means the base layer can be thinner than on clay-heavy ground. The ground around New Martinsville takes water in at a moderate rate, so standard base depth is usually enough for good drainage.
New Martinsville sees about 94 days a year with at least a tenth of an inch of rain. That many wet days makes scheduling the delivery onto firm ground important so the truck can reach the drop spot without rutting. About 134 days a year drop below 32 degrees Fahrenheit, which shortens the work window for spreading and compacting loose material. Freeze and thaw cycles work on loose material all winter, which is the argument for the deeper first lift.
Snowfall averages about 23 inches a year, and plowing can push loose surface stone aside if the path is not edged properly. Ground freezing here is real but moderate, so the base layer should be deep enough to stay stable through the winter.
Tonnage depends on the area you are covering and the depth you choose. Use our material calculators to estimate your order: enter the dimensions and the calculator does the rest. No need to guess the weight.

Walkway gravel often works best with a base layer or an adjacent material. These products pair well with it.
One ton is the minimum. A ton of 3/8 inch walkway gravel covers about 80 square feet at a two-inch depth. You can order any amount above that in whole-ton increments.
Spring and early fall are the most reliable windows because the ground is not frozen and rain is less frequent. New Martinsville sees about 134 days below freezing, so late fall installations risk frost heave before the stone settles.
Install a solid edging material such as steel, plastic landscape edging, or pressure-treated lumber before you spread the gravel. The edge should be at least the depth of the gravel layer to keep the stones contained.
The sizes range from a small 3/8 inch stone that compacts into a firm surface up to 2-3 inch decorative pieces that stay loose. The smallest sizes are easiest to walk on; the larger ones are for looks or drainage features.
