Black Basalt Gravel 5/8" Minus
Black Basalt Gravel 5/8" Minus is a jet-black crushed rock that is very uniform in color. This "minus" type includes pieces from 5/8" down to dust. It will compact tightly and stay in place. The 5/8" size is a standard for light & medium duty pathways and driveways. We are proud to be one of the only carriers of this gorgeous gravel in Seattle.
Recommended uses
- As a top-course for finishing and refreshing driveways
- As a simple light-duty pathway on well drained soils
- Anywhere you want a sleek black gravel that is great for bike and foot paths
Consider this...
This material is similar to our Black Basalt Gravel 3/4" minus, and customers often ask us about which one is better to use for their project. It really comes down to the nuances of 1/8" difference in size and how you're going to use the surface. We think that 3/4" minus holds up better to heavier traffic like vehicles, but doesn't compact quite as smooth. On the other hand, 5/8" minus will be a better surface for smaller wheels and foot paths - and it'll hold up to light-weight usage just fine.
It really depends on how much of what kind of traffic the material will be handling.
