How deep should decorative gravel be laid?

40–50 mm over a prepared base for decorative cover. Deeper layers of small gravel become difficult to walk on.

Does gravel need edging?

Yes, in almost all cases. Without a restraint the material spreads into lawns and drains.

Decorative Gravel

Decorative gravel is the practical way to finish large open areas: courtyards, side yards, parking margins and service paths. The small grade spreads further per tonne than pebbles, and it settles into a firm walking surface.

Because gravel is used over big areas, colour selection matters less than grade and dust content. Ask for washed material where the gravel will be seen close up or walked on regularly.

Selection advice

10–20 mm is the general-purpose grade for walking areas.
Use edge restraints; gravel migrates without them.
Lay 40–50 mm deep over a compacted, membraned base.

Maintenance

Rake level every few months.
Top up thin patches rather than relaying.
