Gravel  We've Got Gravel!     Gravel is rock that is of a specific particle size range. Gravel - In geology, gravel is any loose rock that is larger than two millimeters (2mm) in its largest dimension (about 1/12 of an inch) and gravel no more than 63 millimeters (about 2.5 inches). Types of gravel There Are Multiple types of gravel. Multiple Types Of Gravel have been recognized, including: Bank gravel: gravel intermixed with sand or clay. Bench gravel: a bed of gravel located on the side of a valley above the present stream bottom, indicating the former location of the stream bed when it was at a higher level. Creek rock: This is generally rounded, semi-polished stones, potentially of a wide range of types, that are dredged or scooped from river beds and creek beds. It is also often used as concrete aggregate and less often as a paving surface. Crushed Rock: Rock that is mechanically broken into small pieces then sorted by filtering through different size mesh. Crushed stone: This is generally limestone or dolomite that has been crushed and graded by screens to certain size classes. It is widely used in concrete and as a surfacing for roads and driveways, sometimes with tar applied over it. Crushed stone may also be made from granite and other rocks. A special type of limestone crushed stone is dense grade aggregate, or DGA, also known as crusher run. This is a mixed grade of mostly small crushed stone in a matrix of crushed limestone powder. Fine gravel: gravel consisting of particles with a diameter of 1 to 2 mm. Lag gravel: a surface accumulation of coarse gravel produced by the removal of finer particles. Pay gravel: also known as "pay dirt"; a nickname for gravel with a high concentration of gold and other precious metals. The metals are recovered through gold panning. Pea Gravel:gravel that consists of small, rounded stones used in concrete surfaces. Also used for walkways or driveways. Piedmont gravel: a coarse gravel carried down from high places by mountain streams and deposited on relatively flat ground, where the water runs more slowly. Plateau gravel: a layer of gravel on a plateau or other region above the height at which stream-terrace gravel is usually found. River run gravel: naturally deposited gravel found in and next to rivers and streams. For other uses, see Gravel .
