Choosing points
- Best for parking bases, construction exterior work, and unfinished practical ground.
- Angular stones lock together but still shift at edges.
- Fine dust fills gaps and turns muddy when wet.
- Vehicle paths compact and polish the high points.
How it ages
- Needs containment and periodic grading; ruts, weeds, dust, and washout are common.
What to avoid
- Do not present crushed-stone base as a finished accessible or barefoot surface; it is a base layer unless specifically stabilized.
