Hola, gente. Quería preguntarles sobre esta colocación en inglés porque me está trayendo problemas. Según me dijeron es un tipo de suelo que incluye pedazos de roca desprendida (cobble, gravel, etc.). ¿Alguna sugerencia? MUCHAS GRACIAS

blinding gravel
Explanation:
El suelo (sinónimos) - beaching, gravel bed.

El proceso de cubrir: gravelling, gritting.

El material: crushed gravel, pea gravel (creo que corresponde al "rondado" en español, es pequeño, redondeado), pit-run o es-dug gravel (de la cantera sin seleccionar según el tamaño).

Perdona, "as-dug gravel" no "es-dug".

pit run gravel


Explanation:
En caso de ser del ámbito de la construcción, creo que "pit run gravel" se acerca más, ya que sería la capa superior de piedras o grava más gruesas (o no cribadas) que usa para construir caminos temporales para maquinaria pesada y en algunos casos como parte de los materiales de relleno para zanjas de tuberías.

Pero en caso de ser algo de uso más general podría ser "pebble road" como en caminos empedrados de pueblos, ya sean para uso peatonal o vehicular.
