Seattle Recycling & reuse of gravel

In Seattle, gravel is not just a practical landscaping material; it also presents a unique opportunity for recycling and reuse. With ongoing construction and landscaping projects, many homeowners and property managers are left with excess gravel that can be a hassle to dispose of. Instead of sending it to the landfill, consider recycling or reusing it in your outdoor spaces. This approach not only enhances curb appeal but also promotes safety, eco-friendliness, and low-maintenance landscapes.
