Building up a gravel driveway and lots more! Full on Country boy video!

What happens here

Based on the assessment and planning, determine the type of crushed gravel needed. The video mentions two types: 'Solite gravel' and 'granite crushed run' (also called 'road base'). Granite crushed run, composed of rock dust and #57 stone, is ideal for a durable and compactable base for paths or driveways due to its ability to interlock and bind. For a garden path, a finer crushed aggregate or decomposed granite might be preferred for a softer aesthetic and feel underfoot. Order enough material to cover the planned area with the desired depth, accounting for compaction. Arrange for delivery by a dump truck to the project site.

Goal: Select and order the appropriate type and quantity of crushed gravel, ensuring it is delivered to a convenient location near the path.
