Limestone Gravel: Versatile and Cost-Effective
Limestone gravel, derived from sedimentary rock, is known for its affordability and versatility. Its light color and smooth texture make it a favorite for decorative landscaping, driveways, and pathways. Limestone compacts well, creating a stable base for projects like road construction or under concrete slabs. It’s also naturally porous, aiding in drainage for areas prone to water pooling.

However, limestone is softer than other aggregates, which may lead to gradual wear under heavy traffic or extreme weather. It’s best suited for low-traffic areas or projects prioritizing aesthetics and budget, such as garden beds or residential driveways.

Granite Gravel: Durable and Long-Lasting
Granite gravel, formed from igneous rock, is renowned for its strength and durability. Available in a range of colors, from speckled grays to rich reds, granite adds a bold aesthetic to any project. Its hardness makes it ideal for high-traffic applications like commercial parking lots, heavy-duty driveways, or erosion control on slopes. Granite resists weathering and maintains its integrity over time, offering a low-maintenance solution for demanding environments.

While granite gravel is typically more expensive than limestone, its longevity and resilience make it a worthwhile investment for projects requiring durability and minimal upkeep.

Which Gravel Is Right for Your Job?

  • Choose Limestone Gravel for cost-conscious projects, decorative landscaping, or areas with light to moderate use. It’s perfect for homeowners looking to enhance curb appeal or contractors needing a reliable base material on a budget.
  • Choose Granite Gravel for heavy-duty applications where strength and longevity are paramount. It’s the go-to choice for commercial projects, high-traffic zones, or areas exposed to harsh conditions.
