#137 - The Facility Factor #3 - Laurie Fenly on Rock & Gravel
About this episode
Julie Swan interviews Laurie Fenly about the nuances of selecting rock and gravel for landscaping and property management.
Think rock is just rock? Think again! In this episode of our Facility Factor series, Julie sits down with rock and gravel extraordinaire Laurie Fenly, who spent 17 years managing a massive commercial rock yard. Laurie shares the hilarious (and costly) mistakes she's seen people make—including a customer who dumped a quarter-ton of gravel into a Mercedes convertible, and another who ignored expert advice and accidentally turned his driveway into a tire-spinning, rutted nightmare. Whether you are looking to replace high-maintenance grass, eliminate parasite-harboring mud, or map out your next walking path, this interview will completely change how you look at your property. Tune in to learn why more isn't always better, why the wrong rock color can literally blind you in the sun, and how to pick the right materials the first time around. Plus, we've put together a Rock & Gravel Cheat Sheet packed with visual guides and the exact mathematical formulas you need to calculate your materials without overpaying!
