Decorative Gravel

• Popular Materials: Connecticut River Rock, White Quartz, Pea Gravel, Crushed Trap Rock, Crushed Slate Chips.

• Common Applications & Technical Info: Deployed in low-traffic pedestrian pathways, patio borders, structural foundation drip edges, and landscape beds. Technical installation requires a mandatory baseline sub-grade excavation pitched away from structures, topped with a heavy-duty, woven geotextile fabric (minimum 4 oz weight) to prevent soil migration, arrest weed penetration, and maintain rapid water permeability.

• Aesthetics & Maintenance: Rounded river rock and pea gravel offer smooth, organic contours suitable for barefoot areas; angular crushed trap rock locks mechanically to minimize shifting and stone migration under foot traffic. Maintenance requires periodic raking to maintain a uniform 2-to-3 inch depth and seasonal blowing to clear organic leaf litter before it decomposes into a weed-growing medium.

• Pricing Guidance: A highly accessible, economical-to-mid-range ground cover option that provides immediate drainage performance and clear visual structure.
