1. Dorato Valmalenco Granite. This is a metamorphic rock that has foliation layers that are welldefined in a planar and subparallel arrangement. It is characterized by a sober, grey, and brown color, garnished with ornamental silver reflections and fine particle size, light grey with goldencolored tinges. 2.
With angular gravel, it is produced by a rockcrushing machine just for construction purposes. This gravel will have many flat surfaces on each piece. They will interlock and help to create a more durable driveway. Middle layer using medium size gravel: This layer is #4 angular gravel; about the size of a golf ball.
5. Sand Stone. It is a type of rock entirely composed of quartz grains of medium size which are cemented together by means of siliceous materials. Sandstone is a compact, hard, homogeneous, medium grained, and noncrystalline rock. Sandstone is a good building stone and can be used in various areas of building and is also used as road
