Nice Question:

It is done for 2 basic reasons:

1. If a flat or a concrete surface is used then there are chances of water accumulation during rain which must be avoided in Yards.

2. Lets suppose if there is any oil spill or leakage in transformer, then the oil can never got accumulated on surfaces. Instead, it will seep from gravel into bottom thereby minimizing chances of fires.
