Bank gravel. Bank gravel, also referred to as bank run or river run, is a type of gravel that is found next to rivers and streams. It is comprised of a mixture of large and small rock fragments, sand, and clay. Bank gravel has high water draining capacity, so it helps prevent soil erosion and also allows plants to take root and grow.
