How To Lay Your Gravel 

great video about to do my backgarden and wanted to check if i needed anything more than membrane

Never use smooth stones for a pathway because the smooth surfaces allow slippage. The sharp facets of crushed rock prevent slippage. Tamping crushed rock causes these facets to automatically align, resulting in a very stable surface far superior to a pathway made of smooth gravel.

What do I do if weeds DO grow through it after all?

Can you mention the process of laying these stones for driveway ? Sub base preparation, compacting, depth ? thickness etc. Thanks.

Great video, thank you!

I'm a female and I'm going to start doing this next week. I will have someone deliver 10 tons of 3/4 of, We will not be walking on it though. I will also build my brick BBQ. Ladies we got this.

Gravel patio

I was the millionth view!!

What is base rock?

Buying garden materials in bags is expensive. Rent or borrow a truck and buy bulk.

Thanks for the video. I was thinking of spraying the anti-weed spray before placing the weed membrance. Also, the soil bed level is not even. Can you advise what soil to use to level the base bed? I was thinking of leveling the base bed with a 3 inch layer of Dansand NO GROW Block Paving Jointing Grout and then place the weed membrane. Is this advisable ?

If you want us to watch a "how to lay a membrane" video ... put a link to it in your video notes 🙂👍

The girls way of doing it 😁😂🙃 Men built the world for women ❤️

i used weed membrane and still got weeds and grass growing through; but bare in mind , my house was built on a copse small woodland ,of which im creating an ornate mini woodland ,its took me twelve years because of my health problems and disabilities but slowly and surely it's getting there tiny bit by bit 😩

Hi I have laid blue slate at the front of the house a few years ago but have now added some trees around the edges. During all of this the blue slate has got mixed up with the soil underneath and become compacted so it now looks like I've had a landslide in the garden. I've tried to rinse the soil away from the gravel with little success, it just seems to make it worse so I've now puddles that are taking forever to drain away and it doesn't look any better when they do drain away. I don't really want to buy any more blue shale to cover my mess cos that would only increase the height of the garden and is not solving the problem. There is a porous membrane underneath so I'm not sure what's going on, any advice would be appreciated. Is there an easy way of separating the soil from the shale or do I have to dig it all up and start again. Many Thanks Nigel

Hi there, do we need to put weed membrane before putting the pebbels? How about a thick canvas instead of weed membrane?

Nice video. Does membrane deffinatlely stop weeds going through and how long does it last

All Stores Please lower the price of all Military and Local for all Brands of Gravel Products and Accessories and Production Cost Now Thats too much $$ The Whole World Now 🙏🙏🙏

Where is the base layer? I though crushed stone then compacted, then the gravel?

Greetings... well I mean things only for myself, I start with a layer of mulch, then onto aluminum foil, more mulch before I put gravel down on my vacant lots, I got in a residential neighborhood I also as expected + #fauxShrubs to make it more of my own place & whatnot... THANKS #TheRaccoon #Chemist #Masteroftheuniverse

Ive seen people spraying some kind of epoxy into the gravel to prevent it from coming loose and flying everywhere. But wouldnt that prevent draining?

Can I ask do these stones go green or do they stay that nice white colour all year round ?

Glad to see you just put the gravel down as we did.Most videos state you should put hardcore down and wacker plate it.

Tbh that’s about the worst garden I’ve seen

Someone dig up my yard and just left dirt I put stone gravel on top without putting plastic down first will this be a problem with insects and dirt sinking

love your UK accent. I'm tired of listening to the US accent

I have 2 tones of 40mm blue slate being delivered Friday from you guys, for border for around the front of my house. 5 days straight to cut and remove bushes roots. How would you suggest getting the slate from the bulk bags to the area to be laid, would it be a case of hand balling it on, then rake level? Cheers

No sub base needed?

I have block paving in my front garden. Do I still need membrane?

Can you tell me what size bags of Flamingo chippings you are using there please?

Stupid question..... 50mm or 15mm??cant hear that part clearly.. Sorry..

How does the water drain if you using a weed membrane?

omg this is awesome I'm going to tell my friend Karen she's very good at stuff like this

Where did you get the larger rocks across the edge?

i'm laying gravel on my entire front yard.

Hello I have a walkway in the backyard on the backside of the garage. Which is concrete not quite leveled question can I lay some sand down and then some Pebbles. Reason being water pools on uneven part of slab

I wonder about when it rains?

Nice Until you want to remove them

Can i put gravel straight on to mud? Or do i need something below it

I would not use plastic landscape fabric in a garden. Dig out topsoil where the path will be and fill with finer screening, 4 inches in depth, compact and lay a fine layer of gravel 1 to 2 inches in depth.

Thank you! Very well explained! Now, I can get to work!

Weeds will grow like crazy

Great video, what wood is used at 2:35?

Okay so it looked like they laid some edging too but it didn’t say what it was or how to do it…

Very direct. Appreciate this. Thanks!

this explains nothing

Hello JT Marcel. 🙂

Wow

Will these stones create molds in the future? How can we keep it clean?

Great video, thanks!

Thank you for the video, what gravel size do you recommend best for keeping cats from using the gravel as it's litter box?

Wow wow win

What are you using for the path edging?

I have a nice big yard with space on the side too. The side yard it's just sitting there looking boring..I want to use that space too..the side yard has a slope which iam thinking of removing or adding dirt to level. After that iam gonna lay down concrete to use that space too. However, now iam debating between gravel and concrete for the side yard space ( 15ft from house to fence and 60ft long.)...my only concern is gravel getting stuck under shoes and bringing it into the house...I have very nice plank vinyl flooring.. we won't be taking shoes off to go into house.

0:40 did she say 14mm or 40mm?

So I have a very specific question in the beginning (ish) of the video where it looks like you’re almost laying a “trench” for lack of a better term. . . What is it that is at the bottom of the trench and what kind of stone is it that you used to line that trench ?

Thank you x

Great simple instructions can I use plastic membrane ( also used for roofing) quite thick ?

Thank you good information 🦋

Very nice!

Love your video

Nice!

interesting thanks

Love your video.

A question, how many kilograms of pebbles needed to cover the walk way? good job btw... :)

Liked your idea of the drainage installation in between rocks...too late on my yard. Already been installed, before seeing your video! 🥴

Wonderful... Thank you for uploading these beautiful videos

how will the water drain if you place a membrane beneath

We laid rounded pea gravel walkways and having a terrible time sinking as we walk across it. Removing some gravel to make the depth closer to 5 cm has helped some, but any other suggestions to stabilize rounded pea gravel?

Great 👍 love this video. I’m getting ready to do this as you guys explained. Can I use white marbles rocks for this project?
