Gravel
Gravel is a loose aggregation of small fragments of rock which can either be manufactured or naturally-formed.Â
What is Gravel?
Gravel is a loose aggregation of small, variously sized fragments of rock. It has a wide range of applications in the construction industry.
The weathering and erosion of rocks is the natural process by which gravel deposits are formed.
Gravel can also be produced in quarries, where rocks such as sandstone, limestone and basalt are crushed down to size.
Gravel particle sizes range from 2 mm to over 60 mm, and are available in a range of colours, textures and stone types.
Gravel Benefits
Gravel can be used in the filtration of water, where it acts as a natural filter holding back precipitates which may contain impurities as well as other sand-sized particles. The angularity and hardness of gravel makes it resistant to water erosion.

Gravel Applications
Gravel is extremely versatile and can be applied in a number of different domestic and commercial settings.
Gravel, along with sand, is used for the manufacture of concrete, as well as for mixing with asphalt as part of road construction. It can be used as the base layer for highways before a surface layer is added.
Other practical applications include roof coverings and pebbledash.
Gravel is commonly used for landscaping applications, such as on driveways, walkways, or as a decorative filler over soil instead of grass.
