Gravel
Gravel is composed of unconsolidated rock fragments that have a general particle size range and include size classes from granule- to boulder-sized fragments. Gravel is categorized by the Udden-Wentworth scale into granular gravel and pebble gravel . One cubic yard of gravel typically weighs about 3000 pounds (or a cubic metre is about 1,800 kilograms).
