Q: How do you keep a gravel driveway nice?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-make-your-gravel-driveway-look-rock-star.htm">Keeping your gravel driveway beautiful</a>&mdash;or any gravel structure for that matter&mdash;does call for regular maintenance. You may occasionally need to add more gravel to low areas if you notice any pooling after rainfall. Gravel might also become excessively dusty over time. You can compact it with a mechanical compactor, which you can rent for around $80 to $85 per day.</p><p>To minimize maintenance requirements for your gravel, it&rsquo;s important to ensure your land is properly graded before installing the gravel. It&rsquo;s also helpful to lay landscaping fabric beforehand to keep it in place.</p></div>

Q: How much does topsoil cost?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/truck-load-fill-dirt.htm">Topsoil costs</a> from <b>$12 to $55 per cubic yard</b>, depending on the type you choose. For example, screened black dirt will cost about $15 per cubic yard. Loam (soil composed of sand, silt, and clay) costs about $17 per cubic yard. Standard screened topsoil costs about $20 per cubic yard. The type of topsoil you need depends on your landscaping plans.</p></div>

Q: What are the disadvantages of mulching leaves?

• <div><p>If you have a lot of trees around your home, mulching all those leaves can smother the lawn. Air and light won't reach the grass and soil if too many leaves have been mulched. Turf grass and other lawn problems can arise if the weather is too wet and excessive leaves have been mulched.</p></div>

Q: Which type of gravel is best for pets and livestock?

• <div><p>Small gravel is the better option since it creates a stable, even surface that&rsquo;s easier on paws and hooves. Large gravel can be uncomfortable and may shift too much underfoot. So if you&rsquo;re using gravel in pet or livestock areas, go for smooth, rounded small gravel to prevent injuries and discomfort.</p></div>
