Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best results, start by clearing the area of existing vegetation and leveling the ground. Lay a high-quality landscape fabric or geotextile membrane before spreading the gravel; this is essential for preventing weed growth and stopping the stones from sinking into the sub-soil.
When calculating the coverage, ensure a depth of approximately 40-50mm for walkways and slightly deeper for driveways. Maintenance is minimal; occasionally raking the surface helps level out areas where traffic is heavy and removes any wind-blown debris like leaves. If the gravel becomes dusty over time, a simple light hose-down will restore its natural, golden luster.
