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





Walkway gravel is a specific aggregate for foot paths and garden walkways. It differs from driveway gravel because it is screened to uniform sizes that are comfortable underfoot. In Saratoga, where deep ground freezing occurs every winter, the base layer under walkway gravel needs to be deeper than in warmer regions to keep the surface level.
Gravel Monkey brings walkway gravel by the dump truck to your Saratoga address. You choose the size that matches your project, and we handle the delivery, the drop, and the pricing.
Not every size works for every walkway. Some are too large for comfortable walking, while others lack the drainage for wet areas. Here is what each product is not suited for.
| Product | Use | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Walkway Gravel | General path and walkway surfacing | Not for steep slopes without edging or base reinforcement. |
| 3/8" Walkway Gravel | Small, even, easy to walk on | Not for areas with heavy rain washout risk where drainage is limited. |
| 3/4" Walkway Gravel | Wider garden paths that see wheelbarrows | Not for very soft ground without a compacted base layer underneath. |
| 1"-1 1/2" Walkway Gravel | Informal paths and side yards | Not for barefoot use; the larger stones are uncomfortable to walk on. |
| 2"-3" Walkway Gravel | Decorative edging and dry creek borders | Not for regular foot traffic; better suited as a visual accent. |
Match your surface type to the right material. The table below maps common projects to the recommended walkway gravel size and a typical depth or note.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Patio base | 3/4" Walkway Gravel | 2 to 3 inches deep as a compacted base. |
| Side-yard walkway | 3/8" Walkway Gravel | 2 inches deep for an even walking surface. |
| Dry creek edge | 2"-3" Walkway Gravel | Decorative border; no depth requirement. |
| Play area surfacing | Walkway Gravel | 3 inches deep for cushioning and drainage. |
| Garden path | 1"-1 1/2" Walkway Gravel | 2 to 3 inches deep; larger stones stay in place. |
Soils mapped in the Saratoga area are commonly moderately well drained. This means you may need more base stone under the walkway gravel to stabilize the surface, especially in spots that stay wet.
The ground around Saratoga soaks water up quickly and produces little runoff. This means less drainage stone is needed underneath the surface layer, saving material and labor on the subbase.
Ground that freezes deep moves as it thaws, which is why the base layer matters more here than the top layer.
Estimate the square footage of your walkway and decide the depth. Use our material calculators to convert those numbers into the tons required for your project.
Order online by the ton. Delivery is priced by ZIP at checkout. A dump truck brings your load to your Saratoga address. Loads range from 1 to 40+ tons, and free delivery applies on qualifying orders. Use code FIRSTTIMER50 for $50 off a first order.

The smallest load is 1 ton. With about 1,756 residents, many orders in Saratoga are for residential walkways, and a 1-ton load can cover a small path or garden border.
The best time is after the last spring thaw and before the ground freezes in late fall. Carbon County permitted about 35 single-family homes in 2024, so demand may be higher in spring and early summer.
Install edging materials like metal or plastic strips along the sides. Gravel can migrate without containment, especially on slopes or in heavy rain, so edging keeps the surface clean.
The sizes range from small 3/8-inch stones that are comfortable to walk on to 2-3 inch stones used for decoration. Larger sizes are harder to walk on but stay in place better and resist washout.
The right amount depends on your project area and chosen depth. Use our material calculators to find the tonnage you need. For full details, visit the Saratoga page.
