FAQs

How much gravel do I need?

Calculate the area to be covered (length x width) and determine the depth. Use an online calculator or consult with a landscaping professional to estimate the volume needed.

How do I maintain the color of the gravel?

Consider applying a gravel sealant to protect the color and prevent fading. This will also help to make cleaning easier.

Can I use this gravel for a patio?

While suitable for paths, for patios, consider a more stable base like paving slabs. This gravel is best suited for decorative ground cover.
