This is what four tons of gravel looks like. It looks like a sore back to me.
I have been working all spring on creating and leveling a few paths in our yard. It has been a lot of work, and putting down the landscape fabric and gravel is the last step. We also have a few areas that were already covered in gravel, but they have gotten thin. (They get a lot of play. Gravel is a toy, you know.) I’ve been avoiding this last step because, hello — 8,000 pounds of gravel.
The girls were pretty excited when the gravel truck pulled up. How much of an angle does the dump truck need to make before the gravel starts rolling?? Oh the dramatic tension.
I guess it is time to buy a wheel barrow.
I love this picture! The girls looks so tiny on top. Somehow, however, I actually pictured 4 tons bigger…. Good luck with the project.
Yikes! Did you move all of that gravel by yourself (after the dump truck dumped it) your poor back!!!
It’s still sitting in a pile in the driveway! I’ll get started on the spreading this weekend. I fully expect it to take many, many days. No rush. 🙂

I am redoing my pavement in montreal. I was not sure how big 4 ton of gravel was. Google decided to show me this picture.
Thank you
