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.

Gravel for pathway?

13 years ago
I love the simplicity of this. What type of gravel did you use and is it tough on bare feet? What barrier did you use to hold it in place / shape the paths? Gorgeous!

    A local mix of 3/8" crushed rock, held in place with 4"steel edging. It is not very easy to walk in bare feet.

    How deep is the gravel? Does it sink in when you walk on it?

    Ramajab pathway gravel need not be much more than one and a half time s as deep as its diameter. So, if you have a half inch pea gravel just plan on spreading it about 3/4" thick. You don't really need much. This way it is easy to walk on as well as roll anything with a wheel on it.
