Gravel itself compacts really well, and it is far greater than sand or dirt that may be used in place of it. Gravel is a permeable material, so pretty much what you are doing by using gravel around a pool is installing a french drain system around your pool also. Gravel helps in this area to relieve water pressure that may build up behind the pool.

Oct 02, 2007 · Friction angle of crushed rock. If it is compacted, then it maybe is OK. Since you want to limit the pressure on the wall do this, if you can: Dump it in in lifts and compact only that material more than 2 feet out. This leaves loose stuff against the wall and provides good resistance to movement for the bulk of the backfill.

The thin tires are lighter, handle greater air pressure, have less contact with the road and offer less rolling resistance. However, for gravel travel, thinner tires provide less grip, sink more easily in soft spots and are more vulnerable to flats from road hazards.

For example, you order 6 yards of 5/8" Minus Crushed Rock to be delivered from Joe's Landscaping Supplies. When we load it into the dump truck, the truck may end up with slighlty more or less than 6 yards due to the large size of our loader bucket and the difficulty to measure exact amounts when the bucket scoops up the material.

Aggregate " is a collective term for the mineral materials such as sand, gravel and crushed stone that are used with a binding medium (such as water, bitumen, portland cement, lime, etc.) to form compound materials (such as asphalt concrete and portland cement concrete). By volume, aggregate generally accounts for 92 to 96 percent of HMA and about 70 to 80 percent of portland cement concrete.

I have always used treated posts and crushed gravel to secure fence posts. I dig a little deeper and add maybe 6" of gravel to assist with drainage around the bottom of the post. The post is then set with the aid of a rock bar. If the gravel is properly compressed the post should never waver.

gravel will often be blamed on the maintenance operator. But the operator cannot make good gravel out of bad gravel. Bad or poorly graded gravel can not be changed to good gravel without additional costs, but it is often well worth it. One common practice of improving surface gravel is to add new, clean, fine gravel. Good surface gravel
