Everyone's soil conditions are unique, a person who lives near a swamp will have soil that varies greatly from a person who lives in a drier area and gets some rain. Sometimes just doing what you feel is necessary is the best answer, if you feel you will sleep better at night with gravel under the blocks than perhaps you should add it. Adding gravel under the blocks will aid drainage in any condition, however it is not always necessary. You may also want to see the ground prep area of our support page found here
