Gravel /ËÉ¡rÃ¦vÉl/ is a loose aggregation of rock fragments. Gravel is classified by particle size range and includes size classes from granule- to boulder-sized fragments. In the Udden-Wentworth scale gravel is categorized into granular gravel (2 to 4 mm or 0.079 to 0.157 in) and pebble gravel (4 to 64 mm or 0.2 to 2.5 in).
There is a fine line between gravel and sand; technically, the smallest gravel particles are 5mm â anything smaller is sand. Like gravel, sand is a natural material available in many colours and shapes of particle. Fine sand is fabulous for childrenâs play areas. It can be a wonderful safety surface.
