Gravel: Versatile Construction Aggregate

Gravel is a naturally occurring or mechanically crushed aggregate commonly used in construction and landscaping. Produced from riverbeds, quarries, or by crushing larger rocks, gravel consists of loose, small stones that vary in size and shape. Its composition makes it an essential material for a wide range of building and outdoor projects.

The versatility of gravel lies in its excellent drainage properties and ease of installation. It is widely used for creating driveways, walkways, and patios, as well as for drainage systems, base layers under concrete, and landscaping features. Gravel is also valued for its affordability and low maintenance requirements. However, because it is loose and unbound, it may shift under heavy traffic and can be less suitable for areas requiring a firm, compacted surface.
