3 Reasons Gravel Site Prep Is Important
- Drainage: Gravel allows for better water drainage compared to a surface like soil. Gravel is permeable which helps prevent water accumulation and potential moisture damage to the structure above.
- Stability: It provides a stable, even surface, reducing the risk of structural shifting or settling over time, which can be caused by uneven or soft ground.
- Weed and Erosion Control: Gravel acts as a barrier against weed growth and erosion, maintaining the integrity of the site and reducing the need for ongoing maintenance.
