How do I know how much gravel to use?

In general, we recommend installing decorative stones, such as Maryland river natural gravel, 2 to 3” deep. If you need to fill in up to the level where you’ll place your decorative gravel, you can use any kind of inexpensive base gravel that you have on hand, such as 57 gravel or blue stone gravel. Use our coverage calculator to determine how much material you’ll need for any given space in the garden based on the square footage of the area.
