Top 4 Gravel Types for Driveway: Benefits and Maintenance
Whether it’s to welcome your home, create curb appeal, or add a touch of hardscape, attractive crushed gravel for driveway is a great choice. Look at the best features when choosing gravel for a great driveway. You need to consider everything from the color, size, and type of gravel to the cost and maintenance. With this in mind, here are details on the latest gravel driveway types to help you decide. Dense Grade This grade, known as quarry stone, is a compacted aggregate of ¾ -inch or less stones mixed with stone dust. This gravel is a mixture of granite-gneiss, limestone, or trap rock, which is tightly packed and compacted to form a solid structure. However, it lacks aesthetic appeal. These stones are mixed heavily with gravel dust to create a solid surface through compaction. Additionally, these options are less effective as drainage in wet weather. River Rock If you are looking for an attractive colored stone for drainage, River Rock is your best option. The stones are typically large and smooth enough to be a good material for driveways so water can easily find its way through. However, these landscape rocks Lethbridge are often too rough and small to be suitable as stone for driveways. River rocks serve as the place of origin without emphasizing the geological classification. These rocks are naturally rounded and smooth and are found in riverbeds. Pea Gravel Pea gravel is installed on trails, dog walks, or children’s playgrounds, making it a popular choice for driveways. This gravel is popular in the market for its affordable prices, pleasant crunch when walked on, attractive appearance, and small colourful stones. However, it can shift and spread over time because this gravel is smooth and small. You can prevent it from shifting by adding aggregate and edging. Marble Chips Do you wish to decorate your home with marble countertops? Choose marble chips to decorate your home with your favourite timeless stone. Marble is a durable stone; it can easily handle the heavy weight of vehicles, meaning you can even install it in your home parking lot.

CHARACTER BIO: LETHBRIDGE
[ Bio ] [ Relationships ] [ Trivia ]
Notes
Lilith’s key shape is a circle, since numerous city symbols are also circular (as well as the sun, which is another draw to the region as it is with Med Hat)
Unlike most of the other municipalities we’ve seen so far, Lethbridge ticks all the boxes for symbols. I’ll elaborate a bit more on them here.
Gemstone: Lethbridge’s official gemstone is Alberta’s “unofficial” gemstone, ammolite. Southern Alberta is, according to the municipal website, the only place in the world where this ancient fossilized marine shell can be found in all colours of the rainbow. (I bought a piece for myself from a local provincial rock hunter a few years ago, it’s really lovely!)
Greeting: The city adopted the Blackfoot word for “Greetings” - Oki - as the city’s “official greeting” in 2019 to acknowledge and celebrate the history of the land where Lethbridge sits and its first inhabitants
Flower: The city’s official flower is the gladiolus, which was pitched for its bright colours and its frequency in the area.
Tartan: The city adopted an official tartan as part of the millennium celebrations in 2000 with nine colours: green for foliage, gold for wheat, red for the RCMP, white for snow, light blue for the sky, dark blue for the mountains, black for coal, and pink for the wild rose.
Crest: The crest represents the three pillars of the Lethbridge economy (transportation, agriculture and mining) and depicts a crown for Britain and an Alberta landscape
City Info
City: Lethbridge
Nicknames: The Windy City,
Region: Southwest (Grassland)
Population: 100,000+

Character Info
Name: Lilith Sheran (she/her)

Height: 5'4″
Heritage: [American + European (British + German)]
Hair: Blonde
Eyes: Light blue
MBTI: ISFP
Symbols
gemstone
greeting
tartan
flower
crest
Personality
Lilith's polite and demure demeanour masks a wild streak, an adventurous spirit, and a bit of a checkered past. She tends to keep her cards and ambitions close to her chest, but keeps her friends and rivals just as near.
History
Lethbridge was named for William Lethbridge, then president of the North Western Coal and Navigation Company that effectively established the town. However, Lilith grew up prior to coal mining operations as the notorious American Fort Hamilton, colloquially known as Fort Whoop-Up, a whiskey trading post the likes of which the Canadian Northwest Mounted Police were established to eradicate. Lilith celebrates "Whoop-Up Days" and continues to fly the flag of the post as her own.

ROBERT CONNELY FARR & THE REBELTONE BOYS: DIRTY SOUTH BLUES
Tumblr media
Dirty South Blues – Robert Connely Farr & the Rebeltone Boys Release Date: September 14th, 2018
Track Listing:
1. Ode to the Lonesome 2. Dirty South Blues 3. Blue Front Cafe 4. Hard Time Killin' Floor Blues 5. Magnolia 6. Lady Heroin 7. Just Jive 8. Cypress Tree Blues 9. Yes Ma'am 10. Hey Mr. Devil
In case you didn’t already know, Vancouver is now home to Bolton, Mississippi singer/songwriter, Robert Connely Farr. His full-length album Dirty South Blues was released in late 2018 – recorded in our very own Lethbridge, Alberta. The Rebeltone Boys include Evan Ushenko (lead guitar), Tyson Maiko (bass), Kyle Harmon (drums) and Michael Ayotte (keys).
Something old and something new. Farr collaborated with his blues mentor, Jimmy “Duck” Holmes, to create “Just Jive,” and also included his own cover of Skip James’ “Hard Time Killing Floor Blues.”
In this album, Farr voices his disagreement with the political, societal and religious stances of the Southern United States. The title track shows this in lyrics such as, “Take me back to the Dirty South, Lord / where the devil makes his whiskey and crosses burn,” and “Take me back to the land of cotton / old times there are not forgotten,” commenting on past ways and the discrimination of people that continues today. With a sturdy drum beat and the country twang of electric guitar, it’s a powerful song both lyrically and in rhythm.
“Just Jive” is a refreshing and upbeat song that cuts nicely through the weight of the other tracks on the album. Incorporating a song like this shows his diversity in both instrumental sounds and vocal ability. Even though it has a much different sound, there is a distinctive flare that Farr integrates into the song that allows it to fit the feel of the album.
“Magnolia” starts with deep acoustic strumming and echoing vocals that create a haunting atmosphere. The lyrics are statements on equality and remark negatively on Confederate ideologies. The song begins, “Heading down Highway 49 / Down near Hinds County lines / I see a rebel flag flying high / I hang my head and sigh,” which paints a picture for the kind of imagery and beliefs splashed onto the Southern landscape.
“Blue Front Cafe” is a comment on religion in the Southern United States. “Now the preacher man he come to take me down to the church / tried to lay his hands on me / I put him in the dirt,” Much like “Dirty South Blues,” this song has that electric guitar element that gives it more of rock edge, despite being a slower song. The drum beat gives the song an almost sultry feel to it, which contrasts Farr’s rugged vocals perfectly.
“Hey Mr. Devil” is the final track and is one of the slower tempo songs, as well as the longest song on the album. The sound is so smooth and is really one of those songs that just makes you want to sway to it. The lyrics read, “Hey Mr. Devil / won’t you send my baby back this way / she ain’t never been gone this long / I fear she gone to stay.” The instrumental fade at the very end of the song works well to bring the album to a clear conclusion. You can also watch the music video for “Hey Mr. Devil” on Robert Connely Farr’s Youtube channel now.
Dirty South Blues is an album that successfully covers real issues, and the Southern Blues genre is what makes the stories flow so flawlessly. The controversial topics that Farr discusses is accentuated by the raw sound of the tracks.

The flood wanes as the moon does glowing like a red orb in the night sky I can feel the smoke in my eyes in my lungs even though it rages hundreds of kilometres away. My head aches. It's so dry here So, so dry. I climbed atop the hill and I saw shades of brown from the mountains in the west to the eastward horizon. The butt of one cigarette set blaze to an apartment full of people safe and homeless and this wasn't hundreds of kilometres away this was here, right here. My time here is expiring. The landscape is beckoning me onwards. The sun never stops shining and instead of kissing me it relentlessly burns my eyes. The sun never stops shining it scorches the land and it's left my garden as crumpled leaves and unbloomed flowers. The sun never stops shining I pray pray pray for rain and dream of a time three years ago when the heavens opened and filled the valley with water, drowned my garden and filled my boots as I dug trenches around seedlings. So here we are now. The mountains are on fire while the south is under water. I want to go now. I want to drive until I'm out of the soot. I want to drive until the pressure is gone from my skull. I want to drive until I can smell water suspended as particles in the air. I want to drive until I find the place where people say the weather is overcast. I want to drive until I can hear the crash of waves on rocks. My time here is expiring and the fire beckons my leave. . . . . #poetry #writerscommunity #poem #forestfires #flood #fire #flood #water #rain #leaving #movingon (at Lethbridge, Alberta)

The aerodrome in Culverton has new owners, and they promise an era of prosperity for the idyllic village. But former Spitfire pilot Alex Whistler is suspicious – when black-shirted troops appear on the streets, he contacts his old friend Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart at U.N.I.T. The Doctor is sent to investigate – and soon uncovers a sinister plot to colonise the Earth. The Gaderene are on their way… Featuring Jo.

8th: Alien Bodies by Lawrence Miles 
Set on an island in the East Indies, where alien forces are gathering in a lost city buried deep in the heart of the rain forest, desperate to acquire what might be the deadliest weapon in creation. The Doctor and Sam walk into the middle of the strangest auction in history.
War: Engines of War by George Mann
A weary, angry Doctor leads a flotilla of Battle TARDISes against the Dalek stronghold but in the midst of the carnage, the Doctor's TARDIS crashes to a planet below: Moldox. As the Doctor is trapped in an apocalyptic landscape, Dalek patrols roam amongst the wreckage, rounding up the remaining civilians. But why haven't the Daleks simply killed the humans? Searching for answers the Doctor meets 'Cinder', a young Dalek hunter. Their struggles to discover the Dalek plan take them from the ruins of Moldox to the halls of Gallifrey, and set in motion a chain of events that will change everything. And everyone
9th: Only Human by Gareth Roberts
Reports of a time disturbance lead the Doctor to modern-day London, where he discovers a Neanderthal Man, twenty-eight thousand years after his race became extinct. A trip back to the dawn of humanity only deepens the mystery: who are these strange humans from the far future now living in the distant past? The Doctor & Rose must learn the truth about the Osterberg experiment before history is changed forever.
10th: Prisoner of the Daleks by Trevor Baxendale
The Doctor finds himself stranded on board a starship near the frontline with a group of ruthless bounty hunters. Earth Command will pay them for every Dalek they kill. With the Doctor's help, the bounty hunters achieve the ultimate prize: a Dalek prisoner - intact, powerless, and ready for interrogation. But where the Daleks are involved, nothing is what it seems, and no one is safe. Before long the tables will be turned, and how will the Doctor survive when he becomes a prisoner of the Daleks?
11th: Touched by an Angel by Jonathan Morris
In 2003, Rebecca Whitaker died in a road accident. Her husband Mark is still grieving. He receives a battered envelope, posted eight years ago, containing a set of instructions with a simple message: "You can save her." As Mark is given the chance to save Rebecca, it's up to the Doctor, Amy and Rory to save the whole world. Because this time the Weeping Angels are using history itself as a weapon.
12th: Deep Time by Trevor Baxendale
The Phaeron disappeared from the universe over a million years ago. Some believe they were they eradicated by a superior force… Others claim they destroyed themselves. Or were they in fact the victims of an even more hideous fate? In the far future, humans discover the location of the last Phaeron road – and the Doctor and Clara join the mission to see where the road leads. Each member of the research team knows exactly what they’re looking for – but only the Doctor knows exactly what they’ll find.

The Gravel Rush: Let’s Evaluate its Boom in the Construction Industry
Who could have thought that the tiny pieces of disfigured stones would turn out to be a blessing in disguise? We certainly didn’t until we came across a detailed study about how gravel is actually a lifesaver for so many building and construction businesses. In fact, with the increase in construction projects, the need for high-grade and finely processed gravel is also increasing rapidly. This is why you should be well-informed about it so that the next time you search for a reliable supplier of crushed gravel near me, you can carry out the necessary checks. Why is gravel in such high demand? Well, the answer lies within the gravel itself. The fact that every single piece of crushed gravel is so sturdy and tough that it makes for the best foundational material to fill up the void spaces. Their rough surface ensures that they maintain the required friction and prevent any kind of potential collapse. In fact, different categories of gravel are used for various purposes that perfectly fit the requirements and that is absolutely astonishing. What purposes can the gravel be used for?
Driveways: Almost all kinds of domestic and commercial driveways are the biggest benefactors of the crushed gravel. It is said that, in the construction industry, crushed gravel for driveways is as necessary as concrete for adhesion purposes. You won’t find one driveway that was created without using gravel and is still in the same condition as first prepared.
Landscapes: If you think that gravel means those tiny little particles of cooked-up dirt, then you are wrong. Gravel is a scientifically produced building material that can be sourced in different sizes. The big-sized gravel, or landscape rocks Lethbridge, are used for building aesthetically pleasing landscape features.
Beautifying purposes: The sudden need for aesthetics among people has made gravel useful for businesses that deal with the manufacturing of best-out-waste products. Several industries and businesses seek a regular source of gravel to keep up with the growing demands of the market.
There is no doubt that gravel is an important component for many commercial and domestic purposes, which is why you must always consider sourcing gravel from only reliable and trusted partners.

Looking for Crushed Gravel? Here’s What You Need to Know
Increasing construction projects have seen a surge in gravel demand in Lethbridge leading to the rise of various crushed gravel and landscape rocks Lethbridge companies. It is no secret that gravel plays a pivotal role in strengthening the foundation of any infrastructural project. But what you need is a trusted partner who has built his rapport in the industry. Most companies deal in gravel obtained from third-party sources that question its reliability. Here’s what you need to keep in mind before buying gravel for your next project. Quality Assurance Crushed gravel is a versatile material usually used in construction and landscaping projects. It is mechanically crushed and screened to various size ranges according to the specific necessity of the project. Ensure that the gravel supplier provides high-quality material that meets industry standards. One way to ensure the supreme quality of the crushed gravel near me is to opt for companies that have their own gravel pit. This helps ensure the durability of the construction against abrasion, weathering, and degradation over time. Bad-quality gravel may exhibit signs of crumbling, crushing, or disintegration, indicating poor durability and potential long-term issues. Sourcing from one dealer Consistency of the shape and size of the crushed gravel near me ensures uniformity and well-defined edges. Obtaining crushed gravel from one source leads to minimal variation in its shape and size. This helps prevent instability and unpleasant appearance. In applications of construction and landscaping, these small things could have a major adverse effect on the longevity of the project. Clean gravel High-quality gravel is generally clean and free from impurities like soil, clay, or organic matter. Poor-quality gravel often contains excessive foreign materials, which can affect its performance and consolidation characteristics. Ensure that the gravel sourced from the company is clean and dust-free to minimize the potential disturbance in structures over time. Water Absorption Gravel is meant to have hydrophobic properties that ensure it doesn’t readily absorb water or become waterlogged. Excessive water absorption leads to softening and reduced stability, particularly in drainage or landscaping applications. Trusted gravel companies commit to providing certified and tested gravel and ensure compliance with standards and specifications. About Dutchie Dirt Moving Ltd.: Dutchie Dirt Moving Ltd. is the leading dirt-moving company in Lethbridge which also has its gravel pit. It is the trusted partner you can rely on. Whether you’re building roads or need crushed gravel for driveway, it has all your potential gravel and dirt moving needs covered.

How Proper Gravel and Landscape Rock Placement Can Benefit Your Farm?
As farmers, we are always looking for ways to get more crops and make our farms healthier on the whole. Although traditional methods like fertilization and irrigation are very important, crushed gravel near me and landscape rock placement is an often-overlooked factor that can have a big effect on how productive your farm is. The right placement of these things can help your farm in more than one way. Let’s look at some of these benefits in this article: Enhanced Soil Health One big benefit of adding gravel and landscape rocks Lethbridge to your farm is that it makes the soil healthier. Many agricultural areas have problems with soil erosion, especially ones that get a lot of rain or wind. You can help stop soil erosion by stabilizing the soil and lowering runoff by placing gravel and rocks in high-risk areas like field edges and slopes. This keeps the crucial nutrients in the soil. Improved Drainage and Water Management Good farming requires good water management, and gravel and landscape rocks can be very helpful in this area. Utilizing gravel pathways or rock mulch to make surfaces lets extra water drain away quickly, preventing water logging root rot, and other problems related to water. Placement of rocks in a planned way can also help you direct water to where it's needed most during irrigation or heavy rain. Weed Suppression Weeds are like the worst nightmare for farmers. These things take away nutrients, sunlight, and water from crops. Planning for stopping weed growth can also be done by using landscape rocks as a natural weed barrier. To stop weed seeds from germinating, put a layer of rocks around your crops or along pathway edges. This will create a boundary between the plants. Enhanced Aesthetics and Organization Beyond their usefulness, gravel, and landscape rocks can make your farm look better and be easier to organize. Using these materials, you can define garden beds and borders to make your farm look better and make it easier for people to get around. Additionally, strategically placed rocks can help separate your farm into different zones or areas, which will make it easier to organize and run your business efficiently. About Dutchie Dirt Moving Ltd.: Dutchie Dirt Moving Ltd. offers crushed gravel for driveway and landscape rock supply alongside expert services for agriculture planning.

Here we will break down the differences for you to identify the one that is best for your upcoming project. Screened Gravel Screened gravel is gravel without fine particles. You can expect it to be smooth, consistent, and pure. This type of gravel undergoesa meticulous selection process where sand and debris are separated from it.
