Dense Graded Concrete?

Hello,
What does dense graded concrete driveway look like?

I guess you answered your own question.

Could you be referring to pervious concrete? Exposed aggregate concrete?

I think another word for it is a "Crushed Stone" driveway?

The term dense graded usually refers to subbase material. The dense part means that the subbase material is well compacted. The graded part means that the subbase material consists of a range of different aggregate size. I have never heard the term applied to concrete, although I suppose it could be, since the aggregate used in concrete can vary in size, or can be essentially uniformly sized. I suspect you are thinking of something quite different, although I don't know what it could be. Maybe if I put on my Svengali hat I can conjure it up.

we use ' GABC ' ( graded aggregate base course ) for road base, etc,,, its various sizes of crushed stone, stone dust, etc - also called ' crusher run ' or ' run of crush ',,, ' dense 'would descriptive of the material post compaction.
