Gravel is made by crushing rock and sorting the result into different sizes, generally by screening. Your pea gravel is one of the screening products. There are several rock-crushing systems, and these give a different range of sizes in the product. There are hammer mills, rod mills, 'rod and cone' mills, and so on. A gravel producer would choose his process according to need. In many parts of the country, merely sorting the river gravels will be a suitable process - provided the source rocks are themselves suitable.
