It’s very important to know the difference between crushed gravel and crushed stone. Many companies tend to mix the two and deliver crushed stone instead of crushed gravel in Kelowna. Crushed stone usually has jagged and sharp edges. As a result of the crushing process that they go through. Crushed gravel in Kelowna is typically smoother. This is due to the natural process of which they age and weather.

When companies collect gravel, they go to rivers and creeks. They use a screening tool to collect the smaller pieces and that will then be used for building processes such as building the foundation of a home or for paving.

There are also different types of gravel. The first is called pea gravel. This type of gravel is smaller, hence the term. The stones are usually half an inch in size or even smaller. You can see this used as decorative stones for fish tanks but they also serve their purpose in swimming pools and pathways. If it’s only going to be used by people, this gravel can be used.

The next one is called river rock. They are used in gardening and walkways but can also be used in building structures. They are 1-2 inches in size.

The crushed gravel used in construction is typically basalt, granite, sandstone, slate, limestone, marble and laterite, to name a few. These are more durable pieces that can be relied on when building foundations.

Make sure you go to experienced companies such as MacKinley-Clark Paving LTD to get your supply of crushed gravel.
