Grade A gravel is a high-quality aggregate material commonly used in construction and landscaping projects. It typically consists of a well-blended mix of crushed stone, sand, and fines (smaller particles), which allows it to compact tightly and provide a stable, durable base. Known for its excellent drainage properties and load-bearing capacity, Grade A gravel is ideal for use in driveways, road bases, walkways, parking lots, and as a sub-base under concrete or asphalt.
The size of the individual stones usually ranges from 3/4 inch down to fine particles, creating a dense, interlocking structure when compacted. This makes it especially effective in preventing shifting or settling over time. Its versatility, affordability, and strength make Grade A gravel a go-to material for both residential and commercial projects.
