Upgrade Your Driveway and Pathways This Fall with Mercury Mulch

As cooler weather arrives in Hampton Roads, Mercury Mulch helps homeowners and contractors make the most of the season. Fall offers an excellent window to repair a gravel driveway, upgrade a pathway, or refresh your landscape ahead of the holidays. With mild temperatures, firm ground conditions, and easier scheduling, autumn delivers the ideal environment for lasting, attractive results. Mercury Mulch provides premium gravel products and fast delivery so you can complete your project with confidence and quality.

Take Advantage of Ideal Fall Weather

Fall’s moderate temperatures and lower humidity help gravel install and settle far better than during summer heat. Cooler weather reduces shifting and washouts, so your repaired surface holds up through winter weather.

Easier Scheduling and Holiday-Ready Curb Appeal

After the busy summer season, contractors and landscaping crews tend to have more open availability—so you’ll finish faster and look great in time for the holidays. A fresh, well-installed layer of gravel boosts curb appeal and creates a clean, welcoming first impression.

Prepare for Winter with Proper Drainage and Base Work

Gravel naturally promotes better drainage than solid surfaces—especially important before heavy winter rains and freeze-thaw cycles. Installing or topping gravel now helps prevent pooling, erosion, and damage.

Combine Decorative Upgrades for Style and Function

If you’re also looking to refresh your walkways, garden beds, or patios, gravel adds style and durability. Mercury Mulch offers a range of textures and tones that pair nicely with fresh mulch—giving you a complete, polished landscape ready for winter and holiday entertaining.
