The best gravel for pathways is typically one that is small, angular, and compactable. 

Materials such as decomposed granite, crusher dust, or finely crushed gravel are ideal because they lock together tightly when compacted, creating a smooth and stable surface for walking. 

These types of gravel are also easier to level and maintain over time, as they resist shifting underfoot. 

The key is to choose a material that provides good drainage while remaining comfortable to walk on, even with regular use.

To calculate how much mulch you need, measure the area’s length and width to find the total square metres, then multiply by the desired mulch depth in metres. For example, a 10-square metre area with a mulch depth of 0.05 metres (5 cm) requires 0.5 cubic metres of mulch. 

Many suppliers offer mulch calculators online, which allow you to input your measurements for a quick and accurate estimate. It's always a good idea to round up slightly to account for settling and uneven surfaces.

Bark mulch is made from the outer layers of trees and tends to have a more uniform, fine texture. It breaks down slowly, making it ideal for long-term ground cover in ornamental garden beds. 

Wood chip mulch, on the other hand, is made from chipped branches, trunks, and foliage, resulting in a chunkier and more varied texture. It decomposes faster and is often used for pathways or areas where quicker breakdown is desirable. 

Both types improve soil health over time and help with moisture retention and weed suppression.
