My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

what size gravel did you use?

13 years ago
Hi i am adding gravel to my driveway, what size did you use here? I like the way it looks very natural. Also do you have a source for buying the stone? I am in Falmouth. Thanks,

    Hi. We use 3/4" crushed stone. I get it from Country Fare Excavating in Bowdoin (666-5603). I have to believe there is an outfit closer to Falmouth though.
