What is "gravel"?
Gravel is small, loose pieces of rock or stone that are often used in construction, landscaping, or as a surface material for roads and pathways. The size of gravel can vary, but it is typically made up of particles that are smaller than rocks but larger than sand. Gravel is commonly used in gardens, driveways, and drainage systems because it allows water to pass through easily. It can also be used to cover paths, create decorative features, or provide stability for larger structures like patios or roads.
