Q: What is the best size gravel for a driveway?

• <div><p>A good driveway should have a solid base layer and a smooth surface layer of gravel. A base layer of larger gravel, around 1 to 2 inches, keeps the foundation stable and helps with drainage. For the top layer, smaller gravel, about 1/4 to 1/2 inches, compacts well and creates an even surface that&rsquo;s easier to drive on. Using both ensures the driveway stays durable, drains properly, and doesn&rsquo;t shift over time.</p></div>

Q: Can you mix small and large gravel?

• <div><p>Yes, and in many cases, you should. Large gravel works best as a base layer because it improves drainage and keeps the surface stable. A top layer of smaller gravel fills in gaps and creates a smoother, more compacted surface. This combination is common in driveways and high-traffic areas where both stability and comfort matter.</p></div>

Q: Do you need landscape fabric under rubber mulch?

• <div><p>Yes, you need to use landscape fabric under your rubber mulch. Rubber mulch doesn&rsquo;t decompose, so putting landscape fabric down can work as a barrier between your mulch and soil, preventing your mulch from mixing with your soil and leaching chemicals like aluminum, cadmium, and copper into it. Also, since weeds can occasionally get through rubber mulch, using landscape fabric as a second form of protection can increase its effectiveness. </p></div>

Q: Can you lay pea gravel directly on dirt?

• <div><p>Yes, you can lay pea gravel directly on the dirt. First, dig a trench 2 to 6 inches deep the length and width of the area you want to cover. Plants and weeds will eventually grow through the pea gravel if you don&rsquo;t lay down landscaping cloth.</p></div>
