Black Gravel, Grade 6

Black gravel in Grade 6 is a high-quality construction aggregate known for its striking dark color and consistent grading. This material is typically produced by crushing and screening natural stone, resulting in durable, angular particles that provide excellent stability and load-bearing capacity.

The Grade 6 specification ensures a uniform particle size, which enhances compaction and creates a stable base for a variety of applications. The black color offers a modern, decorative appearance, making it a popular choice for both functional and aesthetic projects. Common uses include driveways, walkways, landscaping features, and as a base layer for patios or pavers. Its angular shape promotes good drainage while minimizing movement under load, though it may be less comfortable for barefoot use compared to rounded aggregates. Overall, black Grade 6 gravel is valued for its durability, visual appeal, and versatility in both residential and commercial settings.
