What type of rock is best for landscaping?

• <div><p>The best type of rock for landscaping depends on your needs. If you want to build an affordable driveway, consider gravel. If you want an aesthetically pleasing patio, you can’t go wrong with flagstone. If you’re building a water feature, consider river rock as the base. Start by figuring out your landscaping project, then choose the best rock for that project. </p></div>

Q: What should I put down before landscaping rock?

• <div><p>Before you begin landscaping with rocks, put down a weed barrier or landscape fabric to prevent pesky weeds from poking through. </p></div>

Q: Can you put gravel directly on dirt?

• <div><p>While you can put gravel directly on dirt, it won&rsquo;t be very stable. It also won&rsquo;t block out any weeds. Most experts recommend layering weed barrier and a layer of packed sand or other foundation material to prevent the gravel from sinking into the earth and being overtaken by weeds.</p></div>

Q: Should I use sand or dirt to level my pool?

• <div><p>It depends on the model of your pool. You&rsquo;ll always have to level the topsoil, but most vinyl-lined pools require an additional 1- to 2-inch layer of sand to protect the liner. This way, when a foot kicks down to the bottom of your pool, it&rsquo;s not scraping the liner against the hard ground. If your pool isn&rsquo;t vinyl-lined, you can skip this step or add a layer of another base material, like <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-is-decomposed-granite.htm">decomposed granite</a>. Always check your manufacturer&rsquo;s instructions before you begin.</p></div>

Q: How much will a ton of gravel cover?

• <div><p>This will depend on the depth of the structure. For a landscape, patio, or walkway that&rsquo;s around 2 inches deep, a ton of gravel will cover around 100 square feet or about 0.6 cubic yards. However, if you&rsquo;re building a driveway, which should be a minimum of 12 inches deep, you&rsquo;d need about 6 tons of gravel to cover the same area.</p></div>

They do a lot more than that but that is all we needed at the time. We were very pleased with the service they performed. It is actually pneumatic mulching, so they have a machine that blows it out, and it is easier for them. They may come back if we find that we need to have things planted on...
