It could work great but also could be really expensive. A gallon is the majority of the cost at $220 or so and makes 1.5 - 2 cubic yards, 45 - 55 cf, or at 2” thick it’s about 270 to 330 sf. That’s a lot of material or a lot of waste.

To clarify, we were using the word “parge” in our video to explain how to coat or smear the sides of the Gravel-Lok system with cement and Type N cement is the type that should be used in this application. We are not saying that you should use Type N cement to parge a foundation of a house and we apologize if that was confusing. Our video focuses solely on installing the Gravel-Lok system, not home foundations. Type N cement, which is used for masonry purposes, is the correct type of cement to be used with stones in this procedure with our Gravel-Lok system.

Gravel-Lok has been successfully installed with great long term results in many areas of the country that experience freeze and thaw cycles. Since it's a permeable system, the installer needs to design with that in mind. Just like any other pavement, it should be slightly graded to allow water to flow away. If necessary, install drainage to help the water to flow away from the system. If these considerations are factored into the installation, there will not be any issue with expansion and contraction during periods of freeze/thaw.

@GravelLok
@GravelLok 7 жыл бұрын
Carol, this is a very common application for Gravel-Lok! It would be better to pick up the pebbles, clean and dry them, and then mix the liquid with the pebbles and place them back into the joints. If you try to apply Gravel-Lok to the pebbles while they are in the joints between the flagstones it may be difficult to avoid getting the liquid on the flagstones (it will stain them; but that may be cleaned up quickly with acetone) and if the pebbles are less than 2.5" deep then you may also experience foaming.

@GravelLok
@GravelLok 4 жыл бұрын
Gravel-Lok has been used successfully in areas of extreme winter and areas where there are many freeze and thaw cycles. Just keep in mind the bonded layer is permeable. As long as the pavement is graded properly the water will flow away from the system and not cause an issue. If necessary, install drainage. If the water is allowed to puddle up in the system then it can cause cracking and heaving during periods of freeze and thaw. Most pavements are designed properly with proper grading and drainage if necessary.

Gravel-Lok is very similar in terms of flexibility to asphalt. Expansion joints are only needed in large areas (plazas, for example). Gravel-Lok could develop a crack in certain situations, for example, if the foundation is not adequate. Gravel-Lok can be repaired. Maintenance can involve patching divots and applying roll coats.

Many people have installed Gravel-Lok driveways. Like any pavement you would need an adequate foundation. We recommend our LSG-4, 4" cell depth load support grid. On top would be a 1.5" Gravel-Lok mixed with 1/8" to 1/2" clean, angular stone. Top that with a .50 - .75" layer of Gravel-Lok mixed with 1/8" to 3/8" clean, angular stone. Roll coat on top after 24 hours. The smaller the stone, the stronger the structure of the pavement. Keep in mind that over time some stones will come loose depending on the amount of use. Maintenance is easy! Please give us a call for further details 888-851-0051

Thanks for this. I'm in the UK where it rains, a lot. I want to re-lay an 80 yard gravel drive that was put down twenty years ago and has got grass and weeds growing in it. I did a very small trial patch yesterday. Jet blasted it, because it has become so compacted from vehicles driving over it and grass growing, took out the gravel, washed out the dirt and grass and put it back. Looks ok but was wondering....after you have washed your gravel you say you have to dry it before you lay it. Is this necessary? I could put it down dry and it would soon be rained on! In your case is it because you are going to add Gravel Lock clear? I wasn't planning on doing this. If I don't I assume it's ok to put the gravel back wet. Thanks if you can answer this. I would like to do a professional job like you've done here but don't have the time and the owner can't afford a professional job at the moment.

@GravelLok
@GravelLok 4 жыл бұрын
Jon, this is an excellent question. Gravel-Lok has been used to create driveways. It can support cars and trucks; it is similar to asphalt in that respect. However, a greater percentage of surface stones can come loose and create divots, as opposed to a pedestrian surface. The weight and pressure of vehicle tires, especially where they might turn and grip the surface, can cause stones to come loose. This leads to more frequent maintenance if the owner is inclined to do so. We find that some owners choose to maintain their Gravel-Lok driveway annually in the form of patching divots and roll coats while others will wait many years to do this, because they have a higher tolerance for seeing some loose surface stones and divots. If you wish to know more about using Gravel-Lok in a driveway application please call us at 888-851-0051, thank you!

Dear Ivan, yes, a 1" overlay on concrete would be sufficient. First, make sure the concrete is clean and dry. Using a foam paint roller, apply a coat of Gravel-Lok liquid. While still wet, mix together your clean, dry pebbles with more Gravel-Lok liquid at a ratio of 20 oz. of liquid to a 5 gallon bucket of stones (around 50 lbs.), then trowel it out at 1" thick. Then, wait 24 hours and apply another roll coat on top. The coverage rate is 186 square feet at 1" thick.

Like many products, the cost per square foot varies depending on the size of the job. Many customers have reported to us that Gravel-Lok was a lower cost option than concrete or asphalt for small jobs and it offers other advantages such as porosity and the ability to choose your own pebbles to create a more interesting look. For larger jobs it's safe to assume that concrete would be more economical option. However, these are two very different products and certain characteristics of Gravel-Lok can be far more appealing than concrete. It's great to have options!

Typically Gravel-Lok is installed at 2" thick but sometimes, such as a concrete layover application, it is only 1" thick. In that case, small stones need to be used so that the installation is at least 3 stones high. Gravel-Lok bonded pavements can support pedestrian or vehicular traffic when they are installed with a base/foundation. However, a greater percentage of surface stones are going to come loose over time with a vehicular application. Please call us for 888-851-0051 for further explanation.

Over time a small percentage of stones will come loose and eventually maintenance will need to be done. Frequency of maintenance depends on the amount of foot traffic the path gets and the tolerance of the owner with respect to loose stones, and potentially divots. Some people choose to perform maintenance every year while others wait a very long time, sometimes 7 - 10 years.

How is it at preventing weeds?
@julierosenblatt886
@julierosenblatt886 5 жыл бұрын
Hello! Gravel-Lok is a permeable surface, therefore weeds could grow between the voids in the stone. It will not prevent weeds from growing. Please let us know if you have any other questions. Thank you!
@julierosenblatt886
@julierosenblatt886 5 жыл бұрын
Weeds are not commonly found in a bonded gravel area due to the lack of soil; it's not an ideal environment for weeds to thrive. Since the pavement is typically 1.5 - 2" thick it is virtually impossible for the weeds to grow and penetrate up through the system. Nevertheless, it is possible for a weed or two to start growing from the top of the bonded gravel pavement, in a small crevice between the rocks. Since it's only growing from the top, these weeds are not well-rooted and easy to remove, root and all. Alternatively, a weed killer can be used. It will not harm the bonded pavement.

You dont parge any foundations with a Type N masonry cement. Type N is used to mix mortar for laying bricks and stone. Please dont give improper advise! Type S would be the proper product for that use. It contains Portland cement. On the other hand, is this process strong enough to do a small driveway area? Would it support the weight of a small car driving across it? Thanks

splash To clarify, we were using the word “parge” in our video to explain how to coat or smear the sides of the Gravel-Lok system. We are not saying that you should use Type N cement to parge a foundation of a house and we apologize if that was confusing. Our video focuses solely on installing the Gravel-Lok system, not home foundations. Type N cement, which is used for masonry purposes, is the correct type of cement to be used with stones in this procedure with our Gravel-Lok system.

How much will one gallon do?
@GravelLok
@GravelLok 3 жыл бұрын
When you mix the liquid with the stones, 1 gallon will create 18.6 sf at 2" thick or 24.8 sf at 1.5" thick or 37.2" thick at 1" thick. We also recommend applying a roll coat 24 hours after installation. The coverage rate for the roll coat is about 90 - 100 sf per gallon.

What is the min thickness I can use on gravel lok - 1"??
@GravelLok
@GravelLok 4 жыл бұрын
A good rule of thumb is that the bonded layer needs to be at least 3 stones high for structural integrity. So, yes, it could be 1" thick if you use small enough stones.

Gravel-Lok is a permeable pavement, water will pass through it the same as water passes through loose gravel. It is an ideal solution for instances where a pavement must be permeable to prevent storm water runoff. In some areas of the country, municipalities require permeable pavements. There are very few options. Exposed aggregate concrete would not be porous.

It is important to wash and dry the gravel prior to applying Gravel-Lok liquid or prior to mixing stones with Gravel-Lok liquid. This can be done ahead of time. Call us at 888-851-0051 for additional advice!

+jody sephus (Jodysephus) I'm not a Gravel lok guy, but I would guess it's because it's like a glue mixture and if you troweled it on dirt, it would get all over the place contaminating the gravel and making a mess. IMO

Not sure how the cost compares to "exposed aggregate cement". That option would not be permeable like Gravel-Lok. If permeability is a desired feature then "exposed aggregate cement" would not be an option.

Thus seems like it would cost 3x as much. How much labour are you going to spend washing stone, drying stone, a large area of you lawn ruined by the plastic and stone to dry it. All the extra work makes this nit feasible imo. With all that said, it is a nice looking product.
@GravelLok
@GravelLok 3 жыл бұрын
It is true that washing and drying the stone is a tedious and laborious process and you need a space to do it which isn't always feasible. However, this is a necessary step to make sure the gravel is bonded well. In general, for medium to large sized jobs this is more expensive than concrete or asphalt. For smaller jobs it can be more economical than concrete or asphalt; it depends on the project.

SAME THING AS PERVIOUS CONCRETE?!
@GravelLok
@GravelLok 3 жыл бұрын
This is not the same thing as pervious concrete. Gravel-Lok is a liquid that bonds clean pebbles together but does not fill up the void spaces in between the pebbles which allows water to pass through them. The look of this type of pavement is vastly different from pervious concrete. This looks like loose pebbles but they are not loose; they are bonded together. You can use any pebble between the size of 1/8" up to 2-1/2". You can get creative and choose the color, size, and shape of stone! This is very different from pervious concrete. Gravel-Lok looks much nicer.

So are you suggesting mixing small aggregate with an epoxy rather than bitumen? If so, what epoxy? My driveway is 200 square metres, and the quotes I've had for epoxy have been laughable. Thanks.
