Applications

  1. Pathways and Walkways:
    • Design: Lay out pathways with golden gravel to create a defined, attractive route through your garden.
    • Installation: Excavate the path area to a depth of about 2-3 inches, lay a weed barrier fabric, and then spread the gravel evenly.
  2. Mulching:
    • Around Plants: Spread golden gravel around the base of plants and trees to act as a mulch. This helps retain moisture, suppress weeds, and improve the overall look.
    • Installation: Place a weed barrier fabric on the soil, then spread a layer of gravel about 1-2 inches thick.
  3. Decorative Features:
    • Garden Beds: Use golden gravel to fill garden beds for a neat, finished look.
    • Rock Gardens: Combine with larger stones and boulders to create a rock garden.
    • Accents: Use gravel around water features, statues, or as a base for container plants to add contrast and visual interest.
  4. Drainage Solutions:
    • French Drains: Incorporate golden gravel into French drains or other drainage systems to improve water flow and prevent soil erosion.
    • Around Structures: Place gravel around garden structures like sheds or patios to facilitate drainage and prevent water pooling.

Tips for Using Golden Gravel

  • Preparation: Always prepare the area by removing weeds and laying down a weed barrier fabric.
  • Edging: Use garden edging to keep the gravel contained and prevent it from spreading into unwanted areas.
  • Layer Thickness: Ensure the gravel layer is thick enough to cover the ground adequately but not too thick to walk on comfortably.

Incorporating golden gravel into your garden can create a stunning, low-maintenance landscape that is both functional and beautiful.
