I'd say leave out the stony because yes, excess info. The mention of the gravel in the latter half of the sentence tells you that it can't be anything other than stony.
It's a hard one to give advice for really, because I don't think there's any "right" way of writing. That's why I very rarely offer to beta anything other than strict grammar or "this is how your fic made me feel" type jobs. A lot of this stuff is down to personal style and preference.
