Q: How do you calculate the amount of gravel needed for a driveway?

• <div><p>No one likes running out of materials during a project, so calculating the right amount of gravel needed for your driveway is an absolute must. Multiply your driveway&rsquo;s length by width by the depth of the gravel (in feet). For gravel depth, convert to a decimal (i.e., 4 inches is 0.33 feet). This will give you the cubic feet of material that you need. </p><p>If you&rsquo;re looking for cubic yards, divide that above number by 27.</p></div>

Q: How do I prepare my yard for river rock?

• <div><p>To prepare your yard for river rocks, smaller rocks may require laying landscape fabric to keep the stones from sinking into the ground while encouraging proper water drainage. You should also clear the land of weeds and larger boulders and, in some cases, test the density of the soil to ensure it can handle the weight.</p></div>
