FAQs
How deep should I go?
Beds & paths: 2–3”. Drive lanes: 3–4”+ compacted. Compost: 1–2” topdress.
Fabric or no fabric?
Yes under gravel paths to separate soil and fines. Usually no under mulch in planting beds.
Will you weed first?
Always. Proper prep is key for long-term success.
Can you deliver only?
Yes, but most clients prefer full installation for the best results.
How many yards do I need?
Yards = (Square feet × Depth in inches) ÷ 324.
Example: 600 sq ft at 2” → 600×2 ÷ 324 ≈ 3.7 yd³ (round up).
