Pea gravel does have a tendency to get moved around a bit, as it’s very small. We have found it isn’t too bad, but you can add a resin binder to prevent movement if you’d like. Is pea gravel hard to maintain? Not at all. Pea gravel is a really great way to create a ...
Sealcoating is a general term used to describe applying a top layer over an existing driveway or pavement. Driveways are often made up of rock, gravel, sand, and a binding agent to hold it together. As asphalt ages and this binding agent break down, unfortunately, it loses its ability to...

Asphalt pavement is primarily rock and stone/gravel held together with a binder (similar to the way metal is kept together by a coat of paint). This binding material is made from the distillation process of certain crude oils. Over time, these oils degrade and begin to deteriorate the paveme...
I hid the paver stone bases with the gravel, mulch, and other natural materials that are already a part of my landscaping. One of the things I appreciate most about these lights is that the solar lights, themselves, are easily replaced, if necessary. Some of them line the walkway to the...
