When using gravel for paths, driveways
or borders it is best to first lay a
membrane, which allows water to
pass through but prevents weeds from growing. This can be purchased
online.
-
Gravel does not need to be very deep; a depth of 75 mm
(3 inches) is usually sufficient
for driveways and paths. Additional gravel can be added at a later
date if required.
-
Tyres on drives can pick up 10 mm
logs, so it is recommended to use 20 mm logs for drives.
-
Flowerbeds can have decorative
gravels laid on top of membrane, creating a colourful year-round
garden.
Rough gravel can also protect your
plants against slugs.
