Grade 9 Gravel - Black & Brown

Grade 9 gravel is a finely crushed, compactable aggregate blend, typically composed of limestone or dolomite, and is recognized for its black and brown hues. This material is processed to create a mix of small stones and stone dust, resulting in a dense, stable base that is easy to work with and compacts exceptionally well.

The Grade 9 designation refers to its optimal gradation for compaction, making it a preferred choice for sub-base layers in driveways, patios, walkways, and under pavers. Its fine texture and angular particles lock together tightly, providing excellent load-bearing capacity and minimizing shifting or settling over time. The black and brown coloration offers a natural, attractive appearance that blends well with most landscapes. While Grade 9 gravel is not ideal for drainage applications due to its compactability, it excels in creating smooth, stable surfaces for both residential and commercial projects.
