for gravel for roadsides I use beach sand with a slight amounts of different fine & medium ballasts mixed in. looks very real in HO. For my small narrow beach, I used fine yellow ground foam on a brown background. Still a little too light a yellow, but the effect is good. Also, if you are interested in making some realistic concrete use fine n-scale ballast from Highball products heavily glued with a 50/50 glue mix and paint and weather like real concrete roadways, etc. Looks better than any commercial concrete product I've come across. Also gets as strong as concrete, don't get it on your tracks or turn outs! The voice of experience!
