Q: When should mulch be laid?

• <div><p>There are two main times of the year to spread mulch&mdash;mid-spring and late fall. Spring mulching protects new seedlings as the soil warms up and the rainy season begins. Fall mulching insulates the soil and regulates its temperature as the first frosts arrive. </p></div>

Q: How much will a 50 lb bag of pea gravel cover?

• <div><p>A 50-pound bag of pea gravel equals approximately one-half of a cubic foot. That amount will cover a three-square-foot area to a depth of about two inches. A three-square-foot area with equal-length sides is approximately 1.73 feet by 1.73 feet, or about 20.75 inches on each side. </p></div>

Q: What is gravel made of?

• <div><p>Pea gravel is the most common <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/crushed-stone-vs-gravel.htm">type of gravel</a>, and it can be made of limestone, granite, basalt, sandstone, and many other types of rock. The strength in gravel comes from the distribution across the stones, so while one rock type may not be particularly strong (like sandstone), the matrix of small rocks that is gravel can become incredibly strong when installed correctly. </p><p> </p></div>

Q: Does pea gravel get hot?

• <div><p>Pea gravel can retain some heat, but it generally stays cooler than materials like concrete, asphalt, or stone pavers. Lighter-colored pea gravel reflects more sunlight and tends to stay cooler, while darker-colored gravel can absorb heat and become warmer to the touch. </p></div>

Q: Why should I hire a pro for mulch application?

• <div><p>It can be tedious and time-consuming to install your own mulch and determine the ideal amount. A professional can help you ensure the right thickness and save you a lot of time and headaches.</p></div>

Everything we have done with Andy turned out well and he has always been willing to take calls or come back out to check on things. I'd recommend him based on his interest in doing things the right way at a competitive price.
