Bedding (Granular)
Applications & Uses
Bedding Material - Granular
Granular bedding material is a loose, free-draining aggregate commonly used in construction and landscaping projects. Produced by crushing and screening natural stone or gravel, this material features a mix of particle sizes that remain unbound, allowing for excellent compaction and stability.
The granular attribute means the particles do not stick together, which is ideal for applications where drainage is critical and settling must be minimized. This makes granular bedding material a preferred choice for pipe bedding, under concrete slabs, and as a base for pavers or retaining walls. Its structure allows water to flow through easily, reducing the risk of pooling and frost heave. While it compacts well under load, it may not be suitable for surfaces requiring a completely solid, non-shifting base. Overall, granular bedding material is valued for its versatility, ease of installation, and reliable performance in both residential and commercial settings.
