What are pea gravel driveway constructions mistakes to avoid?


by DoItYourself Staff

Your pea gravel driveway construction is a pretty straightforward proposition. But there are a couple of things you want to watch for when digging your driveway. Do not start to dig your driveway anywhere near a tree. The roots in a tree extend to great lengths, and if you have a tree root in your pea gravel driveway then it may eventually grow beyond the height of the driveway, causing all kinds of problems. Do not build your driveway in an area with a high water table. If the water keeps draining into your driveway, it will break down the earth walls of your excavated area, and wash your pea gravel away.
