 ABOUT GRAVELS  

Gravel is made up of a variety of rock fragments that vary in size.  Gravel does not necessarily consist of tiny, powdery rock particles, but can range from granule to boulder in terms of size. Gravel is traditionally used to make roads, paths, and even gardens. It is formed through erosion and weathering.

For homeowners with a budget, GRAVEL IS A GODSEND! Other landscaping materials need cutting, mixing, curing, measuring, which add to the cost of the finished product. Surface materials like asphalt and concrete are not for do-it-yourselfers. These require experts, and the cost of labor adds up quickly. But gravel requires minimal preparation, and that saves you TONS OF MONEY.

 

 DO-IT-YOURSELF INSTALLATION  

 

Gravel & Stone are easy to install. Compared with other surface materials, stone and gravel are a breeze. You won’t have to mix or cure anything. You won’t be on your hands and knees fine-tuning with masonry sand between stones. You won’t need to cut material to fit. The supplies are delivered FREE to your driveway. Spread them over the area, grade it as needed and give them a week to settle. THAT’S IT. That’s the entire installation process. You WON’T BELIEVE how easy it is.

 

MAINTENANCE  

 

Your gravel and stone landscaping projects will be REMARKABLY SIMPLE to keep looking great. With correct grading, most surfaces made from gravel won’t develop potholes or wash out. However, these issues do crop up from time to time. If your gravel gets dips and depressions, you just need a bit of extra gravel on hand to fill it in. It will settle and compact itself, just throw it on top. You’ll also want to spread a thin layer of new gravel on top of the old gravel every couple of years. You should also apply weed killer to your landscaping. Even if you laid down weed cloth before installing gravel and stone, weeds always find a way. Chemical solutions work perfectly well with gravel and stone.
