Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between zero gravel and 3/8 gravel?
Zero gravel is smaller than 3/8 gravel and used in fine mixes and flooring. 3/8 gravel is medium-sized and used in general concrete. The choice depends on concrete mix requirements.

Zero gravel is not the optimal choice for foundations. 3/4 gravel is recommended for foundations and heavy structural concrete as it provides higher bonding strength in the mix.
What is zero gravel and why the name?
The smallest, finest gravel grade — named 'zero' because grain sizes start near zero up to about 9 mm.
Zero vs 3/8" gravel?
