King of the Mountain Granite
The following story was moved from the blog on 6/10/2014.
Brewer sits on top of 16 tons of Mountain Granite Gravel.
The gravel was supposed to be delivered yesterday but our landscaper didn’t make the call. We called him at noon today and he said that we were third in the delivery line. At about 4:50pm the rocks were delivered.
We had started putting down fabric, so when the rocks arrived, we were ready to go
The orange spray paint marks where the drip line system is. I’m not sure how the paint will do against the elements but if it does stay, it will be nice when/if we plant bushes by the driveway.
As we worked, we learned that one wheel barrow covers about 16 square feet. I lost count of how many wheel barrows we moved, but after two hours we were exhausted and done for the evening.
Tomorrow we plan to continue moving the pile of rocks. Hopefully we will finish…time will tell. Our landscaper thinks we would need more than 16 tons. If I were to take a guess, I’d say we probably have enough.
