How Does Self Binding Gravel Work? The mixture of gravel particles, gravel dust, sand and clay makes this product bind firmly when it's compacted. All of the smaller particles within the mixture make it more cohesive compared with traditional gravel surfaces which have these fine materials removed before installation.

How do you use self binding gravel?

Self Binding Gravels need to spread and compacted in thin layers. We recommend a finished compacted depth of no more than 50mm. Initially a 15-20mm layer should be spread using the back of a rake or screeding board.

Do weeds grow through self binding gravel?

Further to this, self-binding gravel is not resistant to weeds. Therefore, you are likely to find weeds growing through the aggregates which will need to be removed to keep it looking clean and pristine.
