Decorative gravels are gravels which have been graded, processed and washed to form a top landscaping layer with consistent good looks. They’re made from all types of natural stone and create practical, low maintenance surfaces anywhere. Decorative gravels come in a wide range of attractive colours and textures to complement all garden styles. This kind of gravel should be installed on a layer of sub-base ballast or crushed stone to ensure it stays weed-free. It’s a very different kind of product to building ballast or crushed stones. Basic aggregates like these are used for putting down patio sub-base layers, creating drainage and mixing concrete for general building projects.

How to lay a gravel path or a usable area?
Laying garden gravel is easy and requires the few tools or DIY skills needed to lay paving stones and driveway blocks.
First dig up all weeds to a depth of about 2-4 inches (depending on the largest grain of the Garden gravel), the shape is 2-3 times as deep as the size of the grain of the decorative Garden gravel. Then lay out our weed barrier and pour out the rock or gravel. and finally spread your top decorative layer. It is important that the required depth is maintained so that you get an attractive, long-lasting finish.
Gravel tends to move, so it must be of some kind of edge material such as plates, blocks. Rails or steps are held.
While it is great for trails, it can be difficult to move heavy weights like a fully loaded wheelbarrow across a gravel surface. Therefore, position some step plates for these more frequented areas.
