Gravel compaction for parking and laydown area?
Gravel compaction for parking and laydown area?
(OP)
My background is structural so please forgive the elementary nature of my question. Our contractor is looking to place gravel at 6" deep for a parking lot and 12” for an equipment laydown area. I assume these areas of gravel must be compacted. How much height will be lost due to compaction for both of these? When someone specifies a gravel depth (6” or 12” in this case) is it typically the uncompacted or compacted height? I imagine specifying a compacted or final height makes it difficult know exactly how much gravel depth should initially be placed.
