How deep should a layer of pea gravel be?

• <div><p>The right depth depends on your intended use for the area. For instance, pea gravel for walkways and patios typically only needs to be about <b>2 to 3 inches deep</b>. However, driveways and other areas with heavier loads may require <b>4 to 6 inches</b> for better stability. </p></div>

What should I consider when hydroseeding?

• <div><p>Timing is key when determining the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/6-tips-seeding-your-lawn.htm">best time to hydroseed your lawn</a>. It’s best to hydroseed in the spring or fall due to the already wet conditions of your lawn and the more mild temperatures. </p><p>Your local pro will also offer watering and fertilizer instructions for the months after your application. Make sure you will be available to water it consistently, especially in the first two to three weeks for best results.</p></div>

Q: Does organic mulch prevent weeds?

• <div><p>Yes. One of the main benefits of organic mulch is weed prevention. Organic mulch forms a physical barrier that blocks light and stops weeds from germinating. It can reduce your need to weed and improve the physical appearance of your garden.</p></div>

Q: What should I put down before grass seed?

• <div><p>Before you put down grass seed, you should cultivate your soil or add two inches of topsoil. You should also put down fertilizer at the same time as your seed to prompt healthy growth. Be sure to water after you put down grass seed, especially for the first two weeks.</p></div>

Q: How much does a 40-pound bag of topsoil cover?

• <div><p>A 40-pound bag of topsoil covers 0.76 cubic feet, enough for 4.5 square feet with a 2-inch depth or 36 square feet with a .25-inch depth, such as topdressing a standard garden bed. If you want 2 inches of fresh topsoil for your 36-square-foot garden bed, you&rsquo;ll need eight 40-pound bags. </p></div>
