Full Service landscaping company servicing CT and surrounding areas. Specializing in Hardscapes, Retaining Walls, Patios and more.

"I considered Mike a friend and was very patient over the course of the 2 year pavers install. I understood his commitment with work so I had tremendous grace during the time it took him to finish. A year after completion the ground settled to a point where the pavers sunk and separated. Also retaining caps began loosening and popping off. I?ve contacted Mike on 3 different occasions and he has repeatedly ignored my request for repairs. "

Mulch and Topsoil questions, answered by experts

Yes, you need to add topsoil before you hydroseed to ensure the roots can grow deep. You should cultivate and add compost or amendments to your soil before hydroseeding for optimal growth. Without topsoil, your hydroseed might not take root, leading to wasted effort and money down the drain. Soil preparation is key to the success of DIY hydroseeding.

Yes, gravel comes in different sizes, from fine powder to pea-, coin-, and even golf ball-size. Pea gravel is about 3/8 inch, while crushed stone gravel is about 3/8 to 4 inches. Most companies use a numerical system to assign a size, with the smallest being #10 and the biggest being #1. 

A gravel driveway costs from $1.25 to $1.80 per square foot, including materials and installation. Cost factors for this project include the type of gravel, its thickness, and the amount of site preparation required.

Consider these cost estimates for a 20-foot-long driveway:

  • 1-car (240 square feet): $300–$432

  • 2-car (480 square feet): $600–$864

  • 4-car (960 square feet): $1,200–$1,728

Here are gravel driveways costs for a 50-foot-long driveway:

  • 1-car (600 square feet): $750–$1,080

  • 2-car (1,200 square feet): $1,500–$2,160

  • 4-car (2,400 square feet): $3,000–$4,320

Nonorganic mulch, like river rocks, pebbles, or lava rock, technically lasts the longest. It helps with moisture retention and weed control but doesn’t break down and release nutrients like organic mulch. Wood mulch decomposes slowly, which can help it last longer than leaf or straw mulch, but it won’t provide as many nutrients as quickly as the faster decomposing types.

A yard of crushed concrete costs between $20 and $50. A single-car driveway will need 1.5 to 2.5 yards of crushed concrete, putting your material costs between $30 and $125, which is much less than you’ll pay for most driveway paving methods. Your total could vary based on the thickness you’re going for, and, of course, total prices will increase with added square footage for driveways that fit multiple cars.
