Frequently Asked Questions

FAQs

1. I'm new to home improvement. How do I know which material (sand, gravel, decomposed granite, etc.) is right for my project?
We are happy to make recommendations, but its best you speak to a qualified landscaper or contractor.  But the best material depends on your project. For instance, decomposed granite is popular for pathways, while gravel might be more suitable for driveways. Reach out with your project details, and we can guide you to the best choice!

‍2. How can I calculate the amount of material I need for my project?
A simple formula is to divide the area (in square feet) by 100 to estimate the number of cubic yards required, assuming a depth of 2-3 inches. If you know the square footage and desired depth, you can adjust the formula accordingly.

‍3. Using the formula, how many cubic yards would I need for a 500 sq. ft. area?
For a 2-3 inch depth, you'd need approximately 5cubic yards. (500 sq. ft. ÷ 100 = 5 cubic yards).

‍4. Can I mix different materials, like sand and decomposed granite, for my project?   Yes, depending on the project, mixing materials can provide both functional and aesthetic benefits. It's essential to consult with experts landscaper or contractor before mixing to ensure compatibility.

‍5. Is there any prep work I need to do on the site before the material is spread?
It's recommended to clear the area of any debris, ensure it's level, and, for some projects, lay a weed barrier or fabric beneath the material.

‍6. How long will the materials last? Do I need to replenish them periodically?
‍The longevity depends on its use. While gravel driveways might require occasional replenishment due to displacement, a decomposed granite pathway can last years with proper maintenance.

‍7. Do the colors of materials like decomposed granite or gravel fade over time?
‍Natural materials might experience slight fading over time due to weather and wear. Sealing or using a stabilizer can help retain the color.

‍8. How do I maintain the appearance and function of the materials once laid?
‍Regularly removing debris, occasional raking or leveling for even distribution, and replenishing material as needed can maintain both appearance and function.
‍
9. Can these materials be laid in areas with heavy foot or vehicle traffic?
‍Absolutely. Some materials, like compacted gravel, are designed to withstand heavy traffic, making them perfect for driveways and high-footfall paths.

‍10. Are these materials pet-friendly?
‍Most of our natural materials, like sand and gravel, are pet-friendly. However, it's always good to monitor pets initially to ensure they don't ingest or get hurt by the materials.
‍
‍11. Do you deliver small quantities suitable for homeowner projects, or is there a minimum order?
‍Generally, we have a 1 ton or 1 cubic yard minimum for small orders, We cater to projects of all sizes, from large construction jobs to small homeowner needs. Let us know your requirements, and we'll assist you accordingly.
‍
‍12. What is your cancellation policy?
‍You can cancel at any time before the material is loaded and shipped from the plant or quarry to your job site. Once on the road, delivered, and unloaded, the material cannot be returned. Please be sure that the sand and gravel material you need is exactly what you need before receiving it at your job site.

‍13. Can I look at the sand & gravel  material before I purchase it?
‍Yes, for most of our sand and gravel materials, we have pictures and material test lab reports if your jobs requires them. Small samples are available for large volume orders of over 100 cubic yards on certain materials. If samples have to be sent shipping charges may apply.
