What’s the difference between #9 Sandy Gravel and standard gravel? #9 has smaller particles and a sandy blend, making it smoother, more compactable, and better suited for base layers.

Can I use this under pavers or stepping stones? Yes! It’s one of the best leveling layers available thanks to its packability.

Is it suitable for French drains or foundation use? Absolutely. It provides water flow while preventing surface washout.

Is it decorative or purely functional? Both—it has a clean, fine look suitable for modern or minimalist designs.

Do I need to compact it? Light compaction is recommended to lock particles in place and prevent movement.
