Base Rock & Pathway Pebbles

 

Why do I need a base layer?

Great Question!

The importance of a layer of base rock or drain rock is simple: Foundation and Drainage.

        Foundation is simply the layer beneath any superficial landscaping. This can be anything from a pathway of pebbles, pavers or a brick patio, to a synthetic turf or a garden bed. The foundation will be what the top layers sit on, and provide support over the years to avoid annoying sinking and low spots! The foundation is also very important for drainage. 

        We always want to allow room for water to be carried away from our landscape, in the process of drainage. Usually, landscapers will use a base rock or drain rock, because they mesh together well under pressure, but still have enough space between the rocks to let water pass through. This is important because it prevents flooding in your beautiful garden, and avoids standing water, which can bring about a ton of other issues!
