[AT] OT - Types of gravel

[Easley, Greg]

In our riding arena we use a product that is referred to as 'manufactured sand'.  Best I can tell it's crushed limestone that's been sifted down to about the size of a BB
and had the fines washed out.  Underneath that we laid down about 4" of 1.5" surface material.  It has worked out well for us.

Subject: [AT] OT - Types of gravel

Hi All, we have a horse paddock that is about 75' x 75'. It is currently filled with a mixture of manure and clay about a foot deep. I'm going to scrape it clean, and want to replace it with some sort of gravel. The choices seem endless depending who I talk to. What I'm looking for is a type of mixture that has smooth rather than crushed stone, with a lot of fines to help lock it together. Now the exact product I'm looking for many not exist, but any help getting me close would be greatly appreciated. Just a further note, our paddock has a slight grade to it, maybe 2-1/2 to 3 Ft in 75 ft.

Thanks for any help,
Mike M
