Gravel is a versatile, economical material ideal for driveways, foundations, drainage, walkways, and landscaping. Available in a range of sizes—from fines and screenings to pea gravel and larger crushed rock—each type serves different functions: finer mixes compact well for stable surfaces, while larger, angular pieces provide excellent drainage and load-bearing capacity. Quality gravel should be clean (low in fines and organic matter), durable, and properly graded for your application. Consider delivered tonnage versus cubic yards, required base depth, and whether you need washed or unwashed material. Proper installation and compaction reduce settling and maintenance. For guidance on the right gravel type and quantity for your project on the Osa Peninsula, we can help you select and deliver the appropriate material.
