What is the best gravel for steep driveways?

Q: Does mulch attract pests?

• <div><p>Yes, mulch can attract pests. Spiders, centipedes, and ants are some common pests that are attracted to mulch. You can avoid infestation by laying your bags of mulch in the heat for a few hours or by using an inorganic mulch, as it&rsquo;s less attractive to pests.</p></div>

Q: Why use mulch?

• <div><p>You should use mulch because it protects garden soil in a few key ways. This extra layer between the ground and the elements protects against erosion, helps your soil maintain moisture, regulates changes in temperature, adds nutrients as it decomposes, and keeps weeds at bay. </p></div>

Q: How often should you top up a gravel driveway?

• <div><p>Top up your gravel driveway whenever water starts to pool in areas. This is bound to happen over time. You can be proactive and top up your driveway at the start of the warm season, and then check on it throughout the summer, particularly after heavy rainfall. Every few years, you should consider installing a new, clean layer of gravel&mdash;and that&rsquo;s a good opportunity to install a layer of landscaping fabric before doing so. </p></div>

Q: Can I use regular sand with pavers?

• <div><p>You can use regular sand as the base for your pavers and in between pavers to seal the joints. Many pros reach for polymeric sand, also known as all-purpose sand, because it has been sifted and washed to remove impurities. But you can easily level ground and fill gaps between pavers for a clean look using regular sand, sometimes at a lower cost. </p></div>
