For advice on decorative surface aggregates see Stone
Gravel for underdrains and underground infiltration structures should be 20 - 50 mm, uniformly-graded, clean, crushed angular stone that has a void ratio of 0.4 (40%)[1].

Gravel with structural requirements should also meet the following criteria:

  • Maximum wash loss of 0.5%
  • Minimum durability index of 35
  • Maximum abrasion of 10% for 100 revolutions and maximum of 50% for 500 revolutions
