Grade 5 Black Gravel

Grade 5 black gravel is a versatile construction aggregate known for its distinctive dark color and reliable performance. Produced by crushing and screening natural stone, this material is carefully graded to meet Grade 5 specifications, ensuring a consistent mix of particle sizes for optimal compaction and stability.

The black coloration adds a modern, decorative touch, making it popular for both functional and aesthetic applications. Grade 5 gravel is commonly used in road base layers, driveways, parking lots, and pathways, where its gradation provides excellent load-bearing capacity and drainage. The mix of particle sizes allows for good compaction, reducing the risk of shifting or settling over time. While its angular edges enhance interlock and stability, the material may be less comfortable for barefoot use in landscaping. Overall, Grade 5 black gravel is a durable, attractive choice for a wide range of residential and commercial projects.
