I have started my addition demo of existing small covered porch. The rain got me though and I made a bit of a muddy mess. I want to lay some gravel down to keep the mess from spreading. However, one of my main concerns is the health of the tree in the background it is a HUGE red oak and we love it and are doing everything in our power to keep if happy through all this. I know I need to allow water to get to this tree and limit compaction around the roots. Do you think 57's or crusher run would be a better gravel type to put in the muddy mess? It is not really deep mud, jus that kind of surface mud, inch or 2 deep. This area will probably remain a gravel area after the renovations as it will be a firepit area. I am hoping to use crusher run because I need about 4 tons of crusher run at my moms down the street to make a pad for her prefab shed that is coming in a few weeks and I am going to have the guy dump half the load here and half at her house. What says ye? Will crusher run take care of this mud and will the tree be OK with it?
