# Gravel Walkway


If this is your first time working in landscape sections, we recommend reviewing the [Beds article](https://support.elevationadvisor.com/en-us/article/beds-begin-here-if-you-are-just-getting-started-with-sections-147cu76/) first. It walks you through the basics and uses the same sample project referenced here.


In the [Elevation Advisor Sample Design](https://elevation-knowledgebase.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/Proposals/Sections/sample_design.pdf), there’s a gravel walkway located in the **blue-outlined Patio Area**.


### Adding the Gravel Walkway Section
If you haven’t already added a gravel walkway:
1.  Click **Edit** in the top right corner.
2.  Select **Gravel Walkway** from the template library.
3.  Click **Save** to add it to your proposal.


### Entering Measurements

Open the **Gravel Walkway** section and enter the **length**, **width**, and **depth** in the measurements grid.
* In our example:
* 18’ x 3’ walkway
* 4” base course depth


This depth applies across all subsections, but you can adjust each one manually if needed. The system will automatically calculate the **square footage** and **gravel quantity in yards**.
 If your walkway is irregular or you have more than one, use **subsections** to include all measurements. This example only includes one walkway.

#### Materials & Labor

Scroll down to the **Materials/Labor** section. You’ll see three preset line items:
* Subgrading/Subgrade Compaction
* Base Course
* Weed Fabric

**Subgrading/Subgrade Compaction**
* No material is assigned here, it only calculates labor.
* By default, the system uses **1 minute per 10 sqft**.
* To adjust, click the **blue edit button**.


**Base Course & Weed Fabric**
* Click **Connect Item** to assign the specific product.
* In our example, we used **⅝" Minus Basalt** for the base course.
* If you don’t need one of the presets, click the **blue edit button** and press **Delete**.


### Finalizing the Section
Once materials are set, you can:
* Change Crew Size, Add labor, equipment, or subcontractors.
* Enter a **Description of Services** to explain the scope of work.
* Add **Crew Notes** for internal communication.


If you need help with these steps, refer to the **Beds article**, which walks through the process in detail.
