Ground Prep For Sinking Gravel Walkway - March 2024
This past Winter, I identified that we were experiencing some 'sinking' in the gravel walkway on the side of our house . I put it together using Bluestone Chips and some metal edging, but starting last year, I noticed that the 'level' of gravel seemed to be going DOWN with time. Looking back, when I installed the path in 2021, I went pretty 'thin' with the Bluestone chips on the path - because I used MOST of them back by the firepit. Last Summer, I made a couple of trips to the landscape supply yard and brought home 50 gallons of stone that I applied to the firepit area and the side path. I thought that'd be enough to raise the level of the stone. But, alas...it still felt like it was sinking. So, fixing this 'sinking' gravel on the path is something I want to take-on in 2024. I even included it in my 'early look' at 2024 projects . There are a number of (potential) methods that one could use to try to keep the gravel from sinking
