[QUOTE="inyati13, post: 1114785, member: 17767"] Not big enough. :D Kyle, I noticed that gravel sizes are not always the same or what they are suppose to be. I got my invoice and the base layer is #2 gravel from the Hilltop Stone Company. It is a large crushed stone that is uniform in size and most of the stones will be in the 2 to 4 inch range. There are no fines so clearly it is screened stone. These larger gravels make a good base because the size prevents them from being easily pushed down into the soil. The base layer was maybe 3 to 5 inches thick. The base stone is then choked off with what is called mine waste run. It is what results from the screening process. Thus it ranges from dust to 4 inches. I put on just enough to choke off the surface of the #2 gravel and fill the voids which is what the term choking off means. The area is a rough triangle in shape. I would guess it is an area of about 50 yards by 75 yards. I used 56 tons of #2 and 75 tons of mine waste run. [/QUOTE]
