Gravel

Gravel

The principle paving material, and in all probability the oldest paving material. It is of course important to select a high quality paving gravel. River washed round gravel is soft and not as compact able as most processed gravel's (see processed gravel). Sharp stone gravel in a range of stone sizes self binds to form a smooth and stable surface. Natural or riverbank gravel's can have a wide variety of stone sizes but also have less compact ability.
