Answer: To determine how much you need, divide your total square footage by the coverage rate provided.

Question: Do I need to clean the mulch first?

Answer: For Pea Gravel/Stone we recommend rinsing with a garden hose before letting it dry, as there types of material can arrive with a silty deposit. Contamination like this may prevent a strong bond from being achieved between your gravel. Raking or turning the mulch or gravel periodically during this period will help it to dry more quickly and evenly. Applications to damp mulch or gravel may affect adhesion of the product, so try to be sure it is dry before application.
