Granite gravel is a durable construction aggregate produced by crushing natural granite rock into small, angular pieces. Known for its strength and resistance to weathering, granite gravel is a popular choice for both residential and commercial projects where longevity and stability are essential.

The granite attribute means this gravel is less likely to break down over time compared to softer stone types, making it ideal for high-traffic areas and heavy load-bearing applications. Its angular shape helps the pieces lock together, providing excellent stability and reducing shifting under pressure. This makes granite gravel especially suitable for driveways, walkways, base layers for patios, and as a drainage medium around foundations or in French drains.

Pros of granite gravel include its attractive appearance, superior durability, and low maintenance requirements. However, its angular edges can make it less comfortable for barefoot use in play areas. Overall, granite gravel is a reliable, long-lasting solution for a wide range of landscaping and construction needs.
