I don't like gravel. That's it.

  • noisy
  • scatters all over the neighborhood.
  • hard to walk on
  • dogs and cats crap in it
  • kids chuck it around and put it in their mouth.
  • doesn't even look good.
  • difficult and heavy to remove once you have come to terms will all of the above.

Gravel advocates... explain your case for gravelling your garden/drive.

Gravel sceptics, feel free to share your distaste.

It usually comes in decorative colors, helps prevent erosion, and can create a lower-maintenance surface.
It can consolidate a heterogenous surface into a finished, uniform appearance. It can be used in pet areas to reduce mud from your pets running around on bare dirt also reducing them bringing mud or dirt into the house. Gravel allows water to soak into plants, not just runnning off so landscape plants and trees live!
