Before You Order
Details worth
getting right.
Skipping the base layer
Gravel driveways need a compacted base. Gravel on soft ground sinks and creates mud problems.
Using pea gravel for French drains
Pea gravel is too small and can migrate into drain pipe perforations. Use #57 gravel for drainage systems.
Placing gravel against wood structures
Gravel holds moisture against wood, causing rot. Maintain separation or use proper barriers.
