River rock is a low-maintenance material that lasts for a long time. It will look just as lovely and natural after years of exposure to the elements as it did on the first day.

Before you begin applying your gravel, however, it is important that you first determine which types of gravel you will need to use. The gravel you choose will be determined by the amount of space you have available, as well as the condition of your driveway and the plants you plan to grow on it. You should also think about how much sun the area gets and what kind of soil is on the ground in your specific location.

 In the construction of driveways, walkways, and other outdoor areas, gravel and rock are most commonly used as an alternative to natural stone.

Gravel driveways allow you to create an entrance to your property without the use of masonry or the ongoing maintenance that this type of structure requires.
